SMT Placement Machine Nozzle Maintenance and Operation Instructions from KINGSUN

Aug 14, 2023 | KSUNSMT

In the operation of SMT mounter, the process and integrity of the nozzle of the mounter will have a significant impact on the performance of the machine. As one of the important components of the SMT machine, it is necessary for us to carry out daily maintenance and upkeep of the SMT nozzle. To ensure that the suction nozzle of the SMT machine is intact before operation, how should we do a good job of maintaining the suction nozzle of the SMT machine during normal use? KINGSUN technical team analysis operation has the following main points: 1.Wipe the surface of the SMT nozzle with a dust-free cloth. 2.The small aperture nozzle can be passed through with a thin steel wire and then blown with an air gun. 3.The surface of the nozzle should not be soaked with corrosive solution such as alcohol, as this may cause the surface to fall off. 4.HOLDER should use a cotton swab to wipe the cavity and not damage the filter screen. 5.Regular addition of special grease to HOLDER claws. 6.According to production, it is best to regularly maintain and do other maintenance regularly. (* Suitable for Yamaha SMT machine nozzles , JUKI SMT machine nozzles, Samsung SMT machine nozzles, Panasonic SMT machine nozzles, Fuji SMT machine nozzles, Siemens SMT machine nozzles etc.) Regarding the SMT machine nozzle daily maintenance operation instructions, KINGSUN share with you here , hoping to be helpful to you.

Improved QFN Reliability by Flank Tin Plating Process after Singulation

Aug 04, 2023 | John Ganjei

The process of singulating IC packages such as Quad Flat Pack No-Lead (QFNs) by either a sawing or punching operation results in exposed copper on the sidewalls. This exposed copper surface can oxidize leading to poor or no solder wetting up the sidewall during the assembly operation. The consequence of this oxidized copper surface is either incomplete or no solder fillet formation during the PCB mounting operation resulting in solder joint reliability concerns. Currently, JEDEC and IPC assembly standards do not specify a toe fillet for assembly. However, several component manufacturers have requested a toe fillet solderability process which would improve current QFN reliability by ensuring toe fillet solder coverage. A process whereby tin is plated on the copper sidewall of the QFN after singulation has been developed to improve toe fillet solderability. Several assembly studies have been conducted which demonstrate improved QFN reliability due to the use of this toe fillet solderability process. The plating process, toe fillet inspection and improved QFN reliability after assembly due to the use of this toe fillet solderability is described....

Side Wettable Flanks for Leadless Automotive Packaging

Aug 04, 2023 | Marc A. Mangrum

The MicroLeadFrame® (MLF®)/Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) packaging solution is extremely popular in the semiconductor industry. It is used in applications ranging from consumer electronics and communications to those requiring high reliability performance, such as the automotive industry. The wide acceptance of this packaging design is primarily due to its flexible form factors, size, scalability and thermal dissipation capabilities. The adaptation and acceptance of MLF/QFN packages in automotive high reliability applications has led to the development of materials and processes that have extended its capabilities to meet the performance and quality requirements. One of process developments that is enabling the success of the MLF/QFN within the automotive industry has been the innovation of side wettable flanks that provide the capability to inspect the package lead to printed circuit board (PCB) interfaces for reliable solder joints. Traditionally, through-board X-ray was the accepted method for detecting reliable solder joints for leadless packages. However, as PBC layer counts and routing complexities have increased, this method to detect well-formed solder fillets has proven ineffective and incapable of meeting the inspection requirements. To support increased reliability and more accurate inspection of the leadless package solder joints, processes to form side-wettable flanks have been developed. These processes enable the formation of solder fillets that are detectable using state-of-the-art automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment, providing increased throughput for the surface mount technology (SMT) processes and improved quality as well....

Factors That Influence Side-Wetting Performance on IC Terminals

Aug 04, 2023 | Donald C. Abbott, Bernhard Lange, Douglas W. Romm, and John Tellkamp

A designed experiment evaluated the influence of several variables on appearance and strength of Pb-free solder joints. Components, with leads finished with nickel-palladium-gold (NiPdAu), were used from Texas Instruments (TI) and two other integrated circuit suppliers. Pb-free solder paste used was tin-silver-copper (SnAgCu) alloy. Variables were printed wiring board (PWB) pad size/stencil aperture (the pad finish was consistent; electrolysis Ni/immersion Au), reflow atmosphere, reflow temperature, Pd thickness in the NiPdAu finish, and thermal aging. Height of solder wetting to component lead sides was measured for both ceramic plate and PWB soldering. A third response was solder joint strength; a "lead pull" test determined the maximum force needed to pull the component lead from the PWB. This paper presents a statistical analysis of the designed experiment. Reflow atmosphere and pad size/stencil aperture have the greatest contribution to the height of lead side wetting. Reflow temperature, palladium thickness, and preconditioning had very little impact on side-wetting height. For lead pull, variance in the data was relatively small and the factors tested had little impact....
