Bare board solderability plays a significant role of forming good solder joint. Currently, I can not find any information about bare board solderability testing procedure or methods. I think the procedure of testing should have some differentiations

In 2001, IVF evaluated the reliability of IBM CBGA and CCGA, i.e. packages with "hard" balls and columns, in space applications for the European Space Agency. One clear result was that amount of solder paste printed on the solder lands is very critic

I have got a strange problem with a customers board. The problem being that I have had a number of boards returned to myself for Dry Joints. When you examine the joints, the solder fillet is perfect, the only problem being that it is attached to th

Voids form mainly two ways. 1. Contamination - due PCB pads/part leads oxidation, wetting on the pad is bad forming void(these are usually borders with SMT pad - peripheral) 2. Process formed. These are in the center of the solder joint - could n

What's sad is, it really happened. I won't bore you with the details again. ;) Lloyd, I would love to have a nice Hi Scope too (I think Cchunks works for one of those big champagne and caviar corporate entities ;)) but if you can't swing it, at leas

Hi all I just got feedback from my customer about "White residue problem" around solder joints with manaul soldered connector at customer site and included the failure analysis report that there is residues of Cl,S,Na . I 'd like to know, the whi

I've done over printing for Pin in Past applications and you'd be surprised how much you can over print and still end up with an acceptable solder joint and no solder balls. As others pointed out, there are a lot of variables involved, so trial and
