Both are acceptable methods. - Printing on the board may give your operators a better ability to catch insufficient solder due to poor release; however if done right, printing directly onto the BGA ball is much more efficient and eliminates any compo

We're having a lot of problems with failed solder joints to gold-plated MOSFET leads. Gold plate thickness spec is 60uin, but we've seen as much as 200uin in cross-section, so we're obviously concerned about gold embrittlement issues. Pre-tinning w

Hi all, I was just wondering if everyone has experienced a significant rise in cost of solder bar & paste over the last 6 months or so. I use Alpha SACX and we have seen roughly 50% increase in cost . Just wondering what others are paying per kg?

I have been using sn100c for over a year now on our wave solder process and I am plenty satisfied so far. The secret for success with this alloy is to have your solder pot near 270 celsius and your dwell time has to be near 4 sec and your temperature

Water will not remove no clean flux residues because they are not water soluble. Solder paste with no clean flux should only be used when the assemblies do not need to be cleaned. That said, you can buy special cleaning solvents specifically for re

Hi Sir, The diameter of the aperature is 17mil and thickness 6mil and since we are using Solder Paste Inspection i believe that should have a good paste deposit on this pad.Let say if no good paste it will more create insufficient solder which X-RAY

I am looking for IPC or other published standards that specify cleanliness levels for: 1) solder paste stencils 2) selective solder pallets When we cleaned PCB's we used a limit of 4 M-ohms. Now that we have transitioned to No-Clean, I am wonderi

Henry, TNT makes some good points. I have also found that the use of a 2% silver solder paste (provided that it's allowable) can help reduce the occurance. You may want to run a thermal profile on the PCB is question. Is the board thermaly equalized

Contact your paste supplier and see what they say. My information on SAC 305 FROM MY SUPPLIER was - "The cool down rate is not as critical for Pb-free solder joints, as it was for SnPb. The grain sizes do not differ is size in the Pb-free bulk solde
