I presume you are referring to vibration test with fixed frequency at room temperature. One procedure describing the detailed profile is in MIL-STD-883E, Method 2005.2 (12/31/96). The approximate profile can be described as 60Hz, 20-70g, and 96 hrs t

I'm very familiar with the great board space savings of BGA and all the "claims to fame." However, can someone out there tell me if any concern exist in the inspection realm. Additionally, solder cracking, CTE/TCE mismatches, no leads for stress reli

Got handed an assignment for which I'm not totally qualified. Don't expect this forum to had me all the answers. Some answers are obvious as the device types are fairly self explanatory. As everyone knows, IBM had problems with their ceramic BGA dev

Interesting study. It shows no-Pb alloys having a greater negative environmental impact. I wonder if the Euros are re-thinking their no-Pb regulations? I also wonder if popular opinion and politics is at the route of our EPA's no-Pb regulations and n

I hear you on the profiling issue. That won't get at the issue any how. Your observation of solder wetting confirms that solderability is NOT the issue. You may be seeing a "cold solder connection". The issue is the TCE of the different materia

MoonMan, I'll take a crack at the list. Feel free to answer the ones I don't! 1. Solderability is a parameter which indicates how well a component can be soldered. As far as Solder Termination Coatings go, here are some up�s and down�s of a few. Ha

1/4 thimble! Obviously, you read none of may articles. HASL has more than a simple topographical problem, and so on. You also would know that TCE, while being an important issue, can be overcome as a problem with optimized pad designs. You would kno
