Thanks, rywman. I do have a solder sample along with dummy BGA's so we should have what we need. This BGA is actually 1152 pins (I didn't have that right in my original post). The bad part is that we are building only one board only and the actua

You can say: The pad was lifted after reflow and prior to the dye and pry failure analysis. When we see lifted pads, we think: * That's a good solder connection * Either it took a lot of force to lift that pad or the fabrication of the board in the

With AOI it really depends on what you are testing. Not only what criteria, but what different types of components. We run a high volume low mix application for automotive checking for presense, positional accuracy, and all solder joints. We curre

Can anyone tell me if there is a procedure for storing raw PCB's? We currently are seeing an issue with lead free boards with dewetting. We tracked it down to one or two datecodes, but not all of the boards have dewetting. Is there a expiration da

We use Cooksons prepaid "Pot-Rite" program which sends you as many preaddressed envelopes and order sheets as you order. When it comes time to send out a sample you just pop it in the envelope and mail it out. They also have all the molds and ladles

Hi Wondering if anyone here is/are filemaker Pro users? I am writing a simple data collection program in Filemaker for pre-solder, pre-test inspection to replace paper sheets. Together with wireless touchscreen tablets I think this is going to be

Depends on the solder paste. If it has been on the stencil for 24h there is a good chance that the paste is destroyed. You can however check if it has not dried out too much by letting the stencil printer do a few strokes and see if the paste still h

Hi Adam, I would suggest you refer IPC-2221 guidelines which define plating thickness as: Nickel 2.5-5.0 um , Gold 0.08-0.23 um. Although ENIG is a standard process, there is an associated risk towards Gold embrittlement, Porous Gold, or Black pad de

Hi All We intend to switch fro SAC305 to SN100C, which has been giving us great test results. Unfortunately we have a technical guy at head quarter, which refuses to accept the SN100C as it has a 10 deg C higher melting point as SAC. I argue besides
