Picture has been sent to Steve. I wonder if this will work.

Hi Victor - I don't have an example of what happens to a QFP as Ian
detailed but Doug and I have the same phenomenon for a BGA. Hey Doug -
can ya send Steve one of the BGA pictures?

Can you share this phenomenon photo?

Here's a phenomenon that can occur Richard. On fine pitch QFPs with a
generous volume of solder in the joint or a bulging joint, the presence of
a reasonable thickness of acrylic conformal coating (say 100um) between
the feet of the device, together with regular extended periods of time
below zero degC (say -10 degC) can result in the solder being extruded out
of the joint thus forming a short to the adjacent lead. The modulus of the
acrylic is greater than that of the SnPb at sub zero temps so the solder
is under compression and flows.
Been there and got that particular T-shirt

Ian

Joyce, how would it affect reliability?

More likely effect your reliability than electrical clearance.

Subject: [TN] Gull wing solder joints and minimum electrical clearance
We have assemblies where gull wing solder joints have so much solder that
along the side joint, the solder connection extends out to the adjacent
leads similar to Figure 5-1, Image C from IPC-A-610E. "the solder
connection to a termination may exhibit a wetting angle exceeding 90
degrees when it is created by the solder contour extending over the edge
of the solderable termination area or solder resist" (We will be modifying
our stencils to reduce the amount printed on these parts in the future).
There is no IPC-610 spec for this condition so we were thinking that if
the spacing between the solder joints does not violate Minimum Electrical
Clearance, they are acceptable.
Is this a correct acceptability criteria?
Thanks,
Peter
