Thanks all for the input. There are no tants. close to these parts. GSx - you are correct in that this is ROHS compliant component so maybe a plating issue. We have done what you describe but to a lesser peak with fair improvement. Not seeing muc

Hi Steve, Are you actually profiling the BGA itself? By that I mean have you, for example, drilled through the underside of the pcb into the balls of the BGA and attached a probe there? You may find that even although the topside components have a p

What is your squeegee pressure and size. Also does the pad sit on a ground plane, as it looks like it is partially reflowed so surface has gone but not coallesced properly which would indicate it is more a problem with reflow above 217-219C OR obviou

Hi, We are placing a Surface Mount connector on a flex circuit, we are planing on using SMT carriers to support the flex through the SMT process. Underneath the connector a stiffener needs to be adhere, I'm not sure if we should have the flex manu

Baking boards to remove moisture takes a lot more energy than you'd think. Following on with this, Chris Hunt from NPL gave a presentation at IPC APEX 2012 about the results of his research ["Impedance Testing for Sensitivity to Delamination in Print

I'm looking for a preheater for hand soldering, but haven't used one before so I could use some advice. Does anyone have any preferred styles or brands? Is there anything in particular that I should either look for or should avoid? I've seen prices r

Has anyone experienced bridging on topside (solder destination side) surface mount devices after wave soldering? We x-rayed 100% of the placements after smt re-flow with no issues. When the same placements were x-rayed after the tht wave solder pro

In thinking about troubleshooting tombstoning {TS} defects, seek balance: * Pads the same size * Same amount of paste on each pad * Component placed with the same amount of contact on each pad * Heating the same on each pad, no via connection to a gr

That's a pretty vague question, especially if you count "ID" in the time. In a world where you have AOI or in circuit testing telling you which part has to go, limited thermal mass to contend with and decent equipment, I'd say thirty seconds. On my
