We had a board we fought with for a while with solder balls. Checked everything, Stencil thickness at .004, reduced apertures, changed paste 3 times, changed profile 3 times. Finally changed board vendors. Went from HASL to Emersion Gold. Problem sol

| | | | We are just starting to manufacture a PCB with a .039" fine-line PBGA. We are currently seeing voids, mainly in the center, that are as much as 45%. We also intermittently see the corner balls of the PBGA smaller than the center balls. We are

| Has anyone ever heard of testing solder paste quality by pasting a board and making a determination of the quality by measuring paste height and width after the board is pasted. Would you consider this a valid test for solder paste testing? | I ag

Just wanted to do a poll to see how others are determining their test time for Ionic testing. Test Method IPC-TM-650 number 2.3.25, section 5.3.3, says "The test time should be in accordance with the monitoring plan criteria (set time or auto-shutof

Hi, could any body tell me the reason for solder beads apperance and how to aliminate them (solder beads are solder balls that are found along chip body). Thanks,

Hi Pavel, what you see is most probably caused by to much solder. There�re plenty of hints to avoid this in the archives, just use the "search" function and look for "solder beads" and "solder balls". That will bring you on the right track. Good lu

After following the suggestions above, and where it would not be possible to mask BGA by soldering fixture, a Kapton tape (pre-punched) can be placed under BGA ( wave solder source side ) it can help to keep temperature low enough avoiding "seconda

The manufacturer confirmed that it is humidity - the solder paste is too sensible to humidity. Now I tried Koki solder paste with good result. But, it does leave flux residue in good quantity. Does anyone have experience with Koki solder paste?

what type of flux are you using and what type of solder resist is on the PCB solder resist (Gloss or Matte), also what is the orientation of the connector to the wave flow and what is the pitch of the leads? Russ
