We find that the raw BGA's pad sheared surface has the SnPb solder at various Z heights whereas the assembled BGAs pad leave a smooth layer of SnPb along the pad. Like to understand the cause for the difference. Who could guess? Solder joint streng

Does your board passes also through the wave solder step ? If, yes, it could be a matter of secondary reflow on BGA ball solder joints. Best Regards....GS

if you are not using them for test points or want them filled with solder for current carrying capability then tent them puppies. i was able to move our company away from exposed vias many years ago and this eliminated lots of hairline shorts between

hello, i have been using up-78 ultraprint for over a year now. at first we were getting lots of solder balls mainly on 0805's. this happened with all paste we used, too much solder under component leads. i have been using apertures reduced 10% homepl

There is no specification. Shear tests are very material / operator dependent. BALL SHEAR TESTING OF RAW BGA DEVICES: A total of 3 devices were subjected to ball shear testing. Results of the testing indicated shear values in the range of 0.7-1.25

Short term fixes can be: have the vias "plugged" with solder by the fab house. This works if your fab is HASL finish. Tent the vias with solder mask, top side only. You may get a flux entrapment issue in the vias with this manner. Long term fix can

From a design/test/troubleshooting perspective, I would pick a QFP hands down - I can't probe a hidden solder ball.

Try something drastic just for testing - turn off cleaning! Then check again the result. Trust me, you can be surprised.
