Personaly I would try a different solder paste. Give Indium a call and get a sample of their SMQ92J No clean. You will be impressed. Alpha and Kester also have good products but we have a long history with this paste and we have printed millions of b

Hi Grant Petty, I read about your problem, You might have problem with the design. First on the pad. What is the diameter of the BGA pad in your PCB. We have the same size of PCB and we use 0.584mm Pad dia. and a 10% reduction on our aperture. We us

Arturo, So, you're not shorting to a thermal pad. Given that you're shorting to outer balls, tell us about: * Location of the shorting among the outer balls. * Board construction. * BGA constuction. * Paste deposition. * Temperature measurements ta

Hi As DaveF notes there are many sources. In one of my lives, I used to generate this business for one of the really good outfits i.e NTCu in Bethlehem, PA and I know of several more. You probably already get NTCu's mailing if you have been in the

First off, get them designed out. I had this problem once and filled them with SMD adhesive and cured prior to printing. We were careful to be sure the solder lands were clean of any adhesive prior to curing. It worked out very well and we did this p

From my experience, we have had little success in reworking boards with the black pad condition. In one instance, with several reworks, we were able to get plated through holes with the defect to take solder but the joint reliability was highly ques
