Steve: Wadja mean "I fixed it, now tell me what I did to fix it." Steve, you�re one scary guy. ;-) "Steve�s Longer Pad Theory" - Stubby pads will not make solder flow-up the leads of a QFP100, leaving sparse solder on the pads. Given a choice, s

If the thermal mass of the products is small, a tent-shaped profile is recommended, with peak temperature around 240C. The hottest spot on board should be less than 250C. However, if the thermal mass of the product is large, such as a large server PC

| I need your help! We have been doing double sided surface mount for 4 years now. Up until 6 months ago I have not had a tombstoning problem. Since then I have a fairly high incidence rate of tombstones on the 0603 size resistors (no other parts).

| We've recently encountered this problem where one of our .050" pitch BGA's were reflowing at the wave thus causing shorts... The board was profiled with probes stuck to a QFP solder joint, an 0603, and one of the BGA joints. There was an almost 7

| Has anyone done or seen any studies done documenting what may be the affect of hardware such as screws in the parimeter vicinity of BGAs on a circuit board? | | What I'm really after is anything describing how close a screw/washer/nut combination

| I am starting a new project which involve 3 oz copper layer with 20 mil components on the top of the board and 0.040" thick copper with D2Pak on the bottom of the board. | There is anybody has experience on metal-based PCB reflow process? I guess

| | | | I have some 1.25 mils Al wire bonding chip on board process. After epxoy-based encapsulation, I do some aging test. How can I "see" or prove that there is a "wire break" exist due to the tension of thermal cycling? How can I know the failure
