I have a customer that designed a fine pitch BGA into a board, and has put small vias in the middle of each pad on the PCB. Anyone have any ideas on how I can prevent the solder from the BGA from flowing through the vias and causing voids or no cont

In my past experience, having via's under or attached to SMD lands produces risk. Solder will not consistently wick the same if it is being drawn into a via. This has also caused issues from solder wetting through the via to the other side causing a

Solder balls on the topside of our wave solder boards is a real issue. We have found that during the wave solder process, solder will enter through the via holes in the form of solder balls. It seems to be related to flux captured in the vias and o

Hi Scotty sorry to stir things up but we assemble some seriously high value boards on a contract basis with vias through bga pads. However, not blind vias, so there are no cleaning issues & we use 6 though stencils to provide a little extra paste t

When moisture outgasses through plating, it continues through the molten solder, causing a meak solder connection. There's another issue with thin plating that we haven't focused on in this thread. If plating is thin, the stress on the barrel of a

Continuing with the idea of capping the via with SR1000: If you have boards in-stock that will require all the putzing around that you've doing to prevent the solder flowing through the via, consider reworking your stock with SR1000 to prevent all th

First, the reflow thermal recipe provided by your paste supplier is only a ball park guess. Beyond that, the temperature measured by thermocouples on your oven heaters are only loosely related the temperature of solder paste on your board. You need t
