No change in Vendor. Here is some additional info from this morning, There are no shorts, opens, or visible defects. The problem is that when the boards are ICT'd, the values of the resistors, caps etc are measuring out or tolerance????? Can the go

I have never seen that occur when using gold plating vs. HASL. I am a big fan of the gold process and have achieved very consistent quality. Did the board vender do an impedance measure to validate you design?

We had a similar problem with components being out of spec, course our problem was that they were coming in out of spec, not being damaged by our process. Do you do any incoming inspection?

Are you no clean or WS? Have you used a MultiMeter to verify the ICT failures? Maybe the components are fine but the pins are contaminated. Or the test points. Don't have any reason to suspect that due to HASL vs gold. It's just I don't trust data o

Is anyone out there currently using Mydata's new Agilis feeders in production ? If so how long have you been using them, and how well do they work compared to the older style feeders? Thanks in adavance.

Hi all, Any stencil opening recommendation for 20mils pitch mirco BGA. Currently, using 12mils round opening, 5 mils thickness. Seen to have weak joints as it crack after Ict testing. thks

Try .005 or even .004 thick laser cut electopolish stencil and reduce grain size of paste. Go with 400 or 25 in the case of AIM. We had a similar prob.

See Fiske first line. I'd bet You are bending or catching the assembly in the ICT. How many probes at 8OZ each? do you use on that ICT? 800 probes = 400lbs. See "Flexure induced failure of BGA solder joints" by Compaq Houston TX
