More background please: * What is the condition of failure [eg, part damaged, part poorly attached, etc] * You mention heel and side fillets. What about under the component? * Are the components properly attached? Or are they floating on a bed of fl

i think a more important issue here would be the reduction ratio. as LF solders have a higher surface tension, they do not flow as well as their leaded counterparts. therefore the stencil design may have to be changed (hence a new stencil) if the red

Find out the lead frame alloy. Cte mismatch can cause the same defect. Ran into this 3 years ago wave soldering with Tin-Copper.....okay, you caught me. I admit it. Wavemaster larry told me about this and I'm posting it under my name. Shameful, I

Rework is typically done by heating the BGA to 170-180C to first scrape off the fillet. Then, heat to above reflow, and lift the BGA. Then, collapse the solder with heat and flux. Then, back down at 170-180C, scrape off the underfill from the boar

Has anyone come across any good visuals for the solderability requirements for component leads with toe-down configuration? IPC-A-610 does not have any visual aids for this category and our inspectors are having a difficult time assessing based sole

Grant I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. The studies that I've been reading from various BGA Manufacturers have identified insufficient homogenizing / coalescing of the Sn/Pb Paste with the SnAgCu balls. Ball not touchi

Bismuth Solder alloys * Fatigue life is reduced when soldered to hot air solder leveled (HASL) boards. * Lead from Hot Air Leveling (HAL) coatings can diffuse through the grain boundaries of alloy. * Lead is bismuth alloys can form a eutectic composi
