are you seeing this post processing or are they coming back from your customer or field? Have you tested raw boards and raw parts to see if there are issues with either? do you have x-ray equipment? if back from the field and they had past your tes

Thank you for the links. I didn't know that there are companys that build test systems for ultrasonic inspection. My idea was to use a ultrasonic detector similar to crack inspection, for example to detect if the cooling pad is melted, or a solder jo

Hi Mark, Thanks for your responce! The stencil thickness and especially the reduction of 45% are not recommend by LT, did you came to this combination experimentally? We never have the illusion to produce voiding free, but now its around the accepta

Using AIM N.C. paste, just ran 10 panels to test after applying Rain-X to the stencil (pre-clean with IPA). Printing and release were slightly better (maybe my imagination), but not a large difference. Stencil remained cleaner longer. I could not tel

Hello everyone, we are contract manufacturer and I am wondering if we can save some time from inspection and verification. We will usually inspect the bare boards, then, verify program to BOM, then feeders to BOM and Feeders to program,then paste ins

I agree, the only way to "truly" inspect a QFN is with an X-ray. But this might be over-kill for him. He asked about soldering, not inspection. We use QFN's regularly and you can inspect these parts from the side to see if they are soldered. Unfo

Hi, I need some advice. What should I look at when buying a new X-Ray machine for off line BGA inspection? Should I concentrate on spot size?, Sensor resolution ? I need 130-160Kv and 70 degree Tilt axis board size about 30cm x 30cm Any suggestions

If you are doing X-Ray post place and pre-reflow you should be good. Look elsewhere. Check profile - full lead free or hybrid? Be sure you are acheiving the required reflow temps and TAL required for the solder paste too. Check for belt movement

My circuit board contains 11 x 11 matrix 1mm pitch BGA, The device was tested in socket on evaluation Board. We handed over the actual PCB & devices for re-flow. The assembly house first re-flowed all the SMT components other than BGA. BGA was placed
