Jason,
I can't tell you off the top of my head where to get the data from, but I
can tell you that there are studies that address voids in solder joints.
If my memory serves me correctly, the final analysis showed that in most
cases the joints integrity was not effected. In fact, in many cases it was
actually enhanced. The reason was, that in those cases where cracks may
start to propagate in the joint, they stopped at the internal voids. Versus
continuing through the whole joint if it was solid.
Personally, I prefer to see a solid joint. But, given that it may not be
possible in specific cases then past studies and data supports it as being
robust.
These studies were focused on BGA joints big-time.

Subject: [TN] Vacuolar porosity under leads
I have a question regarding vacuolar porosity under leads.
A potential customer has forwarded me some CAD data and will send me some
boards for me to inspect using our 5DX X-ray. His concerns are that during
reflow, the flux attempts to outgas and stops just short of total outgassing
when the joint solidifies. This situation then forms "pockets" in the joint
in the lead/pad interconnect.
My question is this - Has anyone done any studies regarding this phenomena
and if so, does this affect the integrity of the joint? My belief has always
been that the structure and formation of the heel portion of the joint
comprises the actual integrity of the joint and the toe fillet (or lack
thereof) does not play into the lifespan (or strength) of the joint.
Therefore, the lead/pad interconnect would also not be the main point of
contention.
In Alabama, we had some components (QFP48) that had a ground lug on the
bottom part of the package that was soldered to a pad directly beneath. The
lug was approximately 1mm by 1mm and the pad was approximately 7/10mm by
7/10mm. In this case, the porosity dilemma was evident. We would see,
through 3D laminography, that large voids were formed, causing roughly a 40%
or so decrease in actual solder interconnect area. Some playing around with
the reflow profile displayed better results, but never resolved the issue.
Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Kathie: What you are proposing will certainly work. However if you are a
small volume operation can you really afford to put inline cleaners on each
line? Sounds expensive from a capital $ outlay and like a lot maintenance.
Don't forget even a "small footprint" inline cleaner must be sized right to
do a proper job of both cleaning and drying the assembly.
My guess is management after looking at the real cost will opt for better
coordination between the reflow and wash areas.
We considered this approach a while back and it didn't make good sense at
the time. Just my thoughts

Subject: [TN] Where's your cleaning equipment?
Hi folks,
We are in the process of rethinking the configuration of our automated
lines. Currently, after reflow, boards are loaded into magazines and onto
carts and transported to the cleaning room, which houses our cleaning
equipment including an in-line cleaner. Although no one wants to admit it,
it may be several hours or several days before the boards get cleaned (big
shudder). Several of us are giving thought to putting small footprint
in-line cleaners at the end of the reflow ovens. We are fairly small
volume, but high mix house. On a good day, boards come out of the reflow
ovens once every 2-3 minutes. We know that there are some technical issues
to resolve - making sure boards aren't too hot going into the cleaner,
aligning them after cleaning & before the magazine loader, etc.
The questions I have are:
1. Does anyone out there actually have this sort of cleaning configuration
& how has it worked?
2. Is this totally crazy?
3. Is there anything else I need to consider (other than the safety &
industrial hygiene sorts of things)?
Thanks,

Hi MoonMan,
I need to burst your bubble, but neither HALT nor HAST are accelerated
reliability tests, and therefore it is impossible to correlate the results
from HALT/HAST to design rule selections (BGA pad sizes, etc., manufacturing
processes, etc.) or other physical/material design parameters and the
resulting reliability for product in normal use. HALT/HAST serve the purpose
of extreme robustness tests, looking for weak spots, and cause failures with
damage mechansims and failure modes not found in product use.
HOWEVER, there sure are lots of data correlating the results from proper
accelerated reliability tests to design rule selections (BGA pad sizes, etc.,
manufacturing processes, etc.) or other physical/material design parameters
and the resulting reliability for product in normal use. That is how
IPC-SM-785, IPC-D279 and IPC-9701 were developed.
You have just been barking up the wrong tree--are there trees in your cave?

Hi Mark,
Your concern about too large thermocouples is appropriate--they definietely
impact the results. I did some work like this many years ago [Ref:
Engelmaier, W., "Thermal Characterization of Multilayer Printed Wiring Boards
During Lamination," Proc. 11th IEEE Electrical/Electronics Insulation Conf.,
Chicago, IL, October 1973, p. 208] and used 1-mil-diameter thermocouples--you
need to treat them gingerly however.

MEETING OF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER
OF THE IPC DESIGNERS COUNCIL
Date: Wednesday, the 20th of February 2002
Where: Connies Restaurant - Derby, Ct.
Time: Networking 6:00pm, Meeting 7:00pm
Topic: Hidden Parameters Behind Full Library Development
This meeting will be the first part of a two part series on Library
development. When we hear the term "library development" the first thing that
comes to mind is making a pad-stack and associating it with the component
outline, schematic symbol, etc. However, library development includes many
issues that are more important. The truth becomes more evident as we apply
higher technology to our products.
The February session will be an exploratory session focusing on the issues
facing full library development. Issues such as part interchangeability,
testing parameters, electronic function or special assembly requirements are
just a few of the issues that need to be met.
We intend to develop a comprehensive list of these issues and share them with
several industry library developers. These developers represent the CAD
community as well as those that might have component libraries for sale.
We will then invite these industry leaders to our April meeting to share how
they address these issues. Hopefully we will have identified the strengths,
weaknesses and/or benefits of building your own, using an industry standard
or purchasing a library.
You are requested to RSVP Vin Stabile by end of business on Tuesday at (203)

Oh Werner,
You sly old fox, or is it dog, you couldn't burst my bubble. It's been long
burst by Arleen Weinberger since we did it in the eighth grade, or was that
Lena Fowler (leaping Lena to you). Don't got no trees in my cave but the
roots sure do grow down here and there's always some dog at tree level
pissin' on them but that just don't bother me this deep.
I knew I could draw you out with my little questions about such a big
subject. Have gone over 279, 785, and 9701 many times. Mostly what I see is
your name as chair and co-chair on each committee. That ought to tell me
something, right? As fine as these documents are, they don't show me the
money/data.
Ok, I believe you and recognize what you say about HALT/HAST. How could I
not, but where's the BEEF? How and where do I get the data from which your
fine guidelines were produced, as you say? Some others don't understand and
want data about the product I am helping improve. They want data about how
long they can expect my boards will last in actual operation. In their
terms, they want MTBF numbers, right ot wrong.
So Werner, where's the beef?

As a general rule, small footprint conveyorised machines may not give
you satisfaction. A reasonable wash will take 2-6 minutes and you should
have at least 3 rinse stages, each of a minute, to get minimally clean
results. Then you should have a couple of air knives (each side) and hot
air drying for another couple of minutes. Let's say, conservatively, the
cycle should last 10 minutes. A small conveyorised machine, say 2 m
long, would therefore need to run at about 10-15 cm/min (remember that
loading/unloading areas are usually at least 30 cm long, each, so your
active length is only 1 m 40). This may be insufficient for some
processes.
IMHO, a GOOD batch machine (and I don't mean batch washers with
inadequate pumps and heaters that take an hour or more per cycle) will
give you far more satisfaction. The loading/unloading of the baskets
should take no more labour than your current magazine and can usually
easily be done, especially at your low production rates, by the same
workers who look after the rest of your line. This will give you much
more flexibility (you can adjust the cleaning variables, e.g., wash,
rinse and dry times and temperatures to suit the nature of the product
and the process). With a good system, you can have one basket with 1 m2
of perfectly clean and dry boards coming out of your machine every 10
minutes, if production rates should rise.

See http://www.ausimont.com/docs/gald_vapor.html
This gives you details of fluids with BPs of 155, 166, 200, 210, 215,
230, 240 and 260 °C. Surely you can find one to suit almost any
application in that range.
However, I repeat my earlier warning that these products are horrific

Daan,
I don't know if the GR thing is it but it sure sounds interesting. Do you
know how long it's been around?
I got the info on the vague package I posted from some one in Bangkok. They
said, to someone else, there is a program that imports test data directly
from component supplier data sheets, or the stuff that went into them, and
renders long term reliability data from them, or some such thing. A bit
confusing considering how this message got to me and from where it came in
the first place.
Have a question for you and other computer wizards. My new hard drive seems
flakier than the others it replaced. Goes belly up once in awhile. Checked
for viruses, as I do very often and have my guard up all the time, and no
cigar. No problem replacing it again, if needed, but does anyone know what
would wipe out my inbox messages in Outlook Express? They vanished on my
last reboot.
Thanks,
MoonMan

Werner, or may I call you Sir Werner,
I simply am in awe of all the work you've done in general and with IPC,
especially 279, 785, and 9701. Incredible, but I must ask how the hell can
you chair three comittees, be co-chair on another of the same comitte, and
find time to make a living notwithstanding visiting grand kids?
I have spent the last two days, though not nearly enought time, day and
night reading and reviewing and digesting all possible, for me, concerning
the trilogy. It's all there.
Never had any doubts about you Sir Werner. Never will.
Thanks for it all,
Out of the CaveMan forever,
MoonMan

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Hi Netters,
This is a question about assemblies being repaired because through holes are
damaged.
In IPC 7721, method 5.1 (no inner layer connection):
Should a jumper (or jumpers)be used to insure reliable electrical
conductivity for class 2 assemblies?
How about class 3?
How about for method 5.2 (with inner layer connection)?
Thanks in advance for all answers,

In another life we needed a zero dimension way of measuring temp in a
laminar construction and our R&D people found a supplier of thin film
thermocouples. These would seem to fit your bill.
As is the way of things these days the lab and people are long gone so can't
ask them supplier details for you, but maybe an Internet search or just
mentioning them here will turn something up.

Hi Mark,
Your concern about too large thermocouples is appropriate--they definietely
impact the results. I did some work like this many years ago [Ref:
Engelmaier, W., "Thermal Characterization of Multilayer Printed Wiring
Boards
During Lamination," Proc. 11th IEEE Electrical/Electronics Insulation Conf.,
Chicago, IL, October 1973, p. 208] and used 1-mil-diameter
thermocouples--you
need to treat them gingerly however.

Hi Bill, used to work with an airknife system years ago. The original intent
of the product was to remove any solder which had not adhered to the basis
material and to also remove excessive solder if it was webbed between
component leads i.e solder shorts. If the solder had not wetted to the pads
or was webbed between the component leads, then the molten metal would have
little or no adhesive forces to the product to secure the molten solder to
the joint and it would be removed by the air flow of the hot air knife. One
of the advantages of the air knife at that time was the thought that it
could inspect the solder joints as they were being created. By removing any
excess solder from the solder joints, one could determine whether or not the
intermetallic had been created. The intermetallic compound creates an
adhesive force between the molten tin and the basis copper material and the
air knife should not be able to remove this material.
I know that if the angle of the air knife is set incorrectly or the pressure
is too high, then any and all solder can be blown off any surface. So
assuming the angle and pressures are set correctly the results should be
solder joints that are created with just the correct amount of solder. This
is the type of solder joint which has wetted to the base material, leads and
boards, and any excess solder has been removed from the joint.
What should the joint look like? You mention insufficient solder? This is a
true catch all phrase in the industry. Provided the solder joints look meet
the requirements set forth, for example IPC-A-610, then you should have no
problem. If the process is blowing out the solder from the PTH then take a
look at the pressure and air flow of the system to verify its correctness.
Hope this helps, if not call me at 1 800 643-7822 or reach me offline at
[log in to unmask] and we can talk about it some more.
Regards, Leo Lambert

Hi all,
I'm using a wave solder system with a hot air knife... the knife
reduces solder shorts just fine, however, the inspectors are finding "more"
insufficient solder joints. I've read articles _somewhere_, that when
using a hot air knife system, the joints will tend to look different and
that inspectors will need to be retrained as to what to look for. Can
anyone point me to a source of information??
Thanks, Bill...

Antonio,
"It depends"! (This statement is certainly getting worn out!)
The methods should be:
1. tailored to the worst case conditions of the projected end use environments and;
2. agreed upon by the vendor and the customer (in writing).
Beyond that it is a matter of budgets and how "lucky" do you feel.
Seriously folks, there is no set, carved in stone guidelines. Testing is very touchy. Changes in the
order of
accelerated loading performed (temp, vibration, humidity, contamination resistance, etc.) , the style,
and the amount
will result in wildly divergent numbers. There is no easy answer.

The Plating Subcommittee 4-14 will meet at Expo 2002 in Longbeach CA , on
Tuesday March 26th,2002 at 1:30 - 5:00pm.
The subcommittee is reviewing comments to a final draft IPC-4552,
"Specifications for Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold (ENIG) Plating for
Printed Circuits Boards" and is also pursuing UL Recognition of immersion
silver surface finishes for printed wiring boards in conjunction with the UL
Task Group,3-11f.
The agenda will include updates on existing activities and the determination
of the next topic for "Standard Development". Presently on the list are
additional "Surface Finish" specifications, however the committee is open to
suggestions and priorities from the membership.
As part of the standards development working meetings, you can help develop
internationally recognized documents for PWB component and materials. You'll
be on the cutting edge of PWB design, manufacture and use.
The session is open to all and the Committee welcomes your contribution and
your input.

HI Alain,
Regarding your damaged PTH. Assuming that the lands,
and any circuitry connected to the lands, are still
good ---- jumper wires are not needed to insure a
reliable electrical connection.
That said. During the repair, first the lands should
be tinned with solder, and once the “correctly sized”
eyelet is installed, the eyelet flanges must be
soldered to the lands.
The forming of the eyelets will create a “mechanical”
connection to the lands, but it is the solder joint
that makes the reliable electrical connection.
OOPs, the technicians at CAE damaged the circuitry
connected to the land, or the land is missing. Now
you use a jumper wire. A flat, ribbon of wire
(Circuit Track material) makes a nicer looking repair.
To make this type of repair: 1. remove the solder
mask from a portion of the existing circuitry and tin
with solder. 2. Clean and tin a jumper
wire/conductor, or ribbon, and lap solder this to the
newly tinned existing circuitry. Note the minimum
over lap requirement of the IPC-7721 procedure 5.1 3.
Insert the other end of the jumper wire/conductor, or
ribbon into the prepared PTH. 4. Insert the
“correctly sized” eyelet into the prepared PTH, such
that the “factory flange” of the eyelet will “trap”
the jumper wire/conductor that is in the PTH. (
Looking at IPC-7721, procedure 5.1, Figure 2. Can you
see the “trapped conductor” coming from the upper left
corner of the figure, and being held by the factory
flange of the eyelet?) Let the jumper wire/conductor
enter the prepared PTH at least 50% of the PCB
thickness. But not so far as to interfere with the
forming of the flange on the opposite side of the PCB.
5. Form the eyelet, and solder the flanges to the
circuitry. 6. Coat the jumper wire/conductor with
epoxy to insulate it, and secure it to the PCB.
Regarding the reliability of the repair. I direct you
back to IPC-7721, page 2. section 1.4.3 “levels of
conformance”. Read the paragraph that starts with,
“Class 3 Products must use procedures rated Higest
level-------.” Note that Procedure 5.1 is rated as
Highest level of conformance.
I do hope that this will help you. You may contact me
off line if you want to kick this around some more:

Hi Roger! The only issue I have found is sometimes the flux cored wire
becomes very heavily oxidized - I am still able to solder but have quite a
bit more "dross/floating oxide" than I normally experience. I have a desk
drawer full of solders I have accumulated from various points of the
universe, many which are 20-30 years old, and we are able to use them on
different projects as needed.

As a follow-up question, has anyone ever come across flux cored wire
which has become functionally defective through age? Provided that the
temperature isn't excessive and the outer layers of the wire are
protected from surface oxidation, cored wire should last almost
indefinitley, shouldn't it?

If you are going to the trouble to hand solder these parts on why not fit
them after the wave solder process and just tack them on, applying a dab of
of rework flux first, then reflowing the solder that will be present on the
pads? Saves the difficulty of using high temp solder pre-wave, and quite
likely excessive solder on the joints post wave (the solder in your bath
will wet to the high temp. joints already made). I have seen a similar
problem when tack soldering large multi way connectors with high temp.
solder pre-wave.

>We are currently using adhesive to glue chips on PCB and then run the board on reflow oven
followed by wave soldering. After the reflow process we need to rework some
chips occasionally due to chip miss-alignment or missing. To do the rework
we have to remove the original glue, re-glue the chips and let the board go
through the reflow process again. Now we want to eliminate this loop by
using hi-temp solder wire (melting point 268-302 degree C) to solder the
reworked chips without adhesive, then let the reworked board directly go to
wave soldering with solder pot temperature around 245 degree C.

Antonio,
As a member of the IEC committee, we are preparing a new IEC 61189-5 spec
that shall be for "Process Characterisation". IEC = International
Electrotechnical Commission, to be precise: TECHNICAL COMMITTEE NO91
ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY TECHNOLOGY WORKING GROUP 3: MEASURING AND TEST METHODS
FOR ASSEMBLIES AND ASSEMBLY MATERIALS.
The intention is to provide someone like yourself, with a specification and
procedure to help predict the end product reliability. As such it will take
into account all of the individual "wet" process chemistries and how they
react with one another.
The technique is based upon the latest Surface Insulation Resistance test
methods and procedures.
At present, you can refer to ANSI/IPC JSTD 001C and Appendix B (I think, but
Jack Crawford can correct me?) This will reference you to IPC-TM-650 and the
IPC SIR Test Handbook IPC 9201
Before I hear groans from everyone, the plan is to TRY and make this test as
easy as possible. There have already been a number of Test runs conducted to
verify this to be the case, using the outline protocol. Whilst most of this
cannot be published yet, I can give you copies of the work we have done as
presented to the APEX Conference, Lead-Free session in January 2002.
This new SIR test protocol is intended to determine the electro-chemical
compatibility of the finished assembly under conditions of accelerated
ageing. HARASS - HALT - HASS are different test methods that determine the
robustness of your finished product. If you want more info on this, please
let me know.

Subject: BETWEEN A ROCK AND MY CAVE
Folks,
The reason I have been going down the reliability trail and ending up with
most all the answere I expected, is that we have a customer wanting easy
MTBF answere. As you all, especially Sir Werner, have so delicately
indicated: There ain't no easy way though most all data has been capatured
by one or more people regarding reliability.
Unfortunately, our customer has heard of a software package called Relex. I
know, I know, you can't predict something this easily. The customer got wind
of the package and can't understand why we don't know about it or aren't
using it. It is:
<http://www.lambdacorp.com/assets/images/red.gif>
Rapid R, M and LCC Analysis:
Generate an FMEA, R&M prediction and LCC estimate in a matter of hours. So
easily, in fact, that these analyses can be prepared as a part of your
proposal process. Easy report sorting provides the ability to quickly
identify any project's likely R, M or LCC drivers.
<http://www.lambdacorp.com/assets/images/red.gif>
Easy FMEA Preparation:
A preliminary failure modes and effects analysis, sorted by risk priority
number, can be produced for review by a cross-functional team in less than
1/2 day.
<http://www.lambdacorp.com/assets/images/red.gif>
Link the Future to the Past:
Relex provides the ability to store and easily reuse your product's R&M
characteristics, their known failure modes, causes and even "lessons
learned". When you generate a new FMEA or prediction with Relex, it
automatically includes this actionable data in your analysis.
<http://www.lambdacorp.com/assets/images/red.gif>
Simple LCC Analysis:
Life cycle cost analyses that are so simple to prepare that the LCC of your
equipment can actually become a meaningful design consideration. You can
quickly compare the life cycle cost of multiple design choices to determine
which is best from a total cost standpoint.
<http://www.lambdacorp.com/assets/images/red.gif>
Re-use Past Analyses:
Reuse completed FMEAs and predictions from past projects, or even
subassemblies of past projects, through an intuitive "drag and drop"
functionality. This enables you to assemble FMEAs, R&M predictions and LCC
analyses from your company's (or your supplier's) standard subassemblies all
with the click (and drag) of a mouse!
<http://www.lambdacorp.com/assets/images/red.gif>
Design, Manufacturing & Supplier Control Plans:
Reports that identify the design verification and validation activities,
manufacturing quality control or supplier controls required to ensure
machine reliability can be automatically generated from the FMEA.
<http://www.lambdacorp.com/assets/images/red.gif>
Data Import:
Automatically create new analyses by simply importing a bill of material
(BOM). Relex will automatically match the imported BOM data to your custom
libraries of parts and their failure rates, failure modes, and their causes.
I must give a presentation, via phone line, to some folks in the far side of
Asia tonight. No worries. I can put everything as delicately as Sir Werner,
or punt. What yardline and what line should I provide without:
1) Having to go there personally and present my lovable self and blame it
all on you.
2) Finding a way not to offend when we all know this ain't going to work.
I look forward to diplomatically correct answers so as not to offend, which
I often do.

Hi Antonio,
The most effective way is IST IPC-TM-2.6.26. To get some guidance you should
get IPV-TR-486 and IPC-TR-579.

I would not trust data from component supplier data sheets--too many bad
experiences, because they generally do not know what they are doing.
Furthermore, I have yet to see the test parameters described to uinderstand
what these data actually could mean. This is the prime reason for IPC-9701.

I have a customer that sent me an OrCAD .dsn file which is supposed to
be a schematic file. I was pointed to Cadence's web site to download
their ViewDraw Reader software which is supposed to be able to open and
print the schematic. I am getting an error message which is leads me to
suspect that I may need library files besides the .dsn file in order to
open this file.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hi HardRock Earl,
...and there we thought your cave was this soft cushiony hibernation hollow
you shared with a ground hog.
Well, how do you tell somebody that they have been smoking something witout
telling them they have been smoking something? Why should FMEA, R&M, and LCC
be able to tell you something about reliability?
The only way I can think of is to question the source: where does this stuff
come from? what data is it based on? what physical model(s) is it based on?
why has nobody heard of it?
Sorry, diplomacy was never my long suit and I have always been a
straight-shooter--good consequence, this kept me off the Bell Labs promotion
list. So now you got a tech-guru instead of a lousy Lucent manager.

Calvin,
Go to the DSCC web site
http://www.dscc.dla.mil/Programs/MilSpec/DocSearch.asp and enter the numeric
for your specs in the search box. I didn't check both, but 50884 is
available as a pdf file.

Hello, everyone,
I am looking for MIL-P-50884 and MIL-STD-2118 (Flex, Rigid-Flex specs) that
are not longer active.
I know IPC-2223 replaces them but everybody list these specs in their
documentation. Can anyone help?
I found several sites that list them but the links are dead.
Thanks,

Well Sir Knight,
At least your armor is still in tact as is your aim. One thing they can
never acuse you of and that's shooting from the hip.
Yes, they've been smoking something and I'm just trying to cut through the
smog created by it to save my client. Hell, I'll let them believe what they
want until I present the evidence as quality product designed and
manufactured right.
It's really hard to imagine most of these designs working at all. I'll never
let go of my C clamp photo.
As for you, some people are predestined to do something in life, they think.
People like you create your own destiny.
That tarnish could have resulted from your getting pissed off/on a few
times. Like I said, it's gotta look good on you.
I got to go kick some butt now. You'll be right there coaching me.

Subject: FR-04 questions
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
Per IPC 2222 (Feb 1998):
Page 6, table 4-2 lists a selection chart for various Registered FR4 types.
I am familiar with FR4-04 and -06, however, it appears that for boards
requiring to be very flat while still trying to watch cost, I would be
better off specifying something like FR-4-17 or -19.
It appears that the cost for 17 is middle of the road and cost for 19 is
good. The kicker is that the farther down the table I go, it appears that
the minus is the laminate is more difficult to drill.
Is there articles anywhere out there regarding costs once we leave the
FR-04-06, FR-04-04 material and start going into the -17 or 19 etc?
What about the accuracy of the chart? It states material availability is
good. Anyone out there had experience with this?
Reason I ask, I have a 488 pin BGA 1 inch square I have to solder and they
are asking me what to spec. Thanks in advance.

I don't know about their ViewDraw Reader software but you can request a free
viewer sometimes refer to as the student version that would suit you needs.
I contacted a Cadence Orcad representative and was sent a CD ROM Orcad
Family Release 9.2 Lite Edition. Also the .dsn is all you should need.

Subject: [TN] .DSN files and OrCAD ViewDraw reader
I have a customer that sent me an OrCAD .dsn file which is supposed to be a
schematic file. I was pointed to Cadence's web site to download their
ViewDraw Reader software which is supposed to be able to open and print the
schematic. I am getting an error message which is leads me to suspect that
I may need library files besides the .dsn file in order to open this file.
Any advice?
Thanks

Subject: [TN] .DSN files and OrCAD ViewDraw reader
I have a customer that sent me an OrCAD .dsn file which is supposed to be a
schematic file. I was pointed to Cadence's web site to download their
ViewDraw Reader software which is supposed to be able to open and print the
schematic. I am getting an error message which is leads me to suspect that
I may need library files besides the .dsn file in order to open this file.
Any advice?
Thanks
Peter

Orcad and Viewdraw are two different programs. Go to the link below and try
the Capture viewer. You may need to have your customer provide any access
codes that are needed.

Peter,
Another option is to request that your customer make a PDF file for you
using Adobe Acrobat. Roberto is correct, the DSN file has all the component
information inside. If you opened it on a local copy of Orcad, it may try
to load libraries that you don't have, but this causes no harm. If you
like, send me the DSN file and I'll create a PDF file for you.

Subject: [TN] .DSN files and OrCAD ViewDraw reader
I have a customer that sent me an OrCAD .dsn file which is supposed to be
a schematic file. I was pointed to Cadence's web site to download their
ViewDraw Reader software which is supposed to be able to open and print the
schematic. I am getting an error message which is leads me to suspect that
I may need library files besides the .dsn file in order to open this file.
Any advice?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Ken,
Just catching up on my TechNet reading and noticed your post. You can get a
macro for PADS to extract the IPC-D-356A netlist for free from the authors
at http://www.capecad.com/htm/programs.htm This macro works very nicely and
has been tested by lots of users. Remember to thank the good folks at Cape
CAD for making this available.

Hi Robert,
This depends on component geometry (0805, 0603, 0402, etc), pad geometry and
trace geometry, but IMHO, your skepticism is justified. Assuming the pad
geometry is appropriate for the component, the distance between the
component end termination and the PCB pad is so small compared to the
component end termination width and pad overlap that the inductance of this
joint is already negligible compared to the component itself and the trace
leaving the pad. As long the joints are wetted, there is no solder bridging
and the component is not cracked, it sounds like the problem is elsewhere.

Calvin,
You may have to resort to old-fashioned technology. Try a big library and
see if they carry these specs on Microfilm, if you can't find a friendly
company with an internal library that still holds them. Or maybe the
'everyone', who sends you drawings that quote these specs can also supply
the specs. They should be able to if their design requires it, but then I'm
an idealist.

Hello, everyone,
I am looking for MIL-P-50884 and MIL-STD-2118 (Flex, Rigid-Flex specs) that
are not longer active.
I know IPC-2223 replaces them but everybody list these specs in their
documentation. Can anyone help?
I found several sites that list them but the links are dead.
Thanks,

Calvin,
My further 2 cents worth is that since MIL-STD-2118 Notice 2 states that
the spec is cancelled and refers you to IPC-2223 or IPC-2221 instead, this
should be sufficient authorisation to use the IPC spec instead. i.e.
* Drg calls up MIL-STD-2118.
* You look up the MIL std and it tells you it's superseded another spec
(IPC-2223)
* You can then legitimately look up IPC-2223 as if it were MIL-STD-2118 and
read it as the requirement called up in the old drawings.
I can't vouch for whether or not there is any difference between the MIL
std content and the IPC std content, insofar as they cross-relate, but
there is no logical or arguable reason why you shouldn't be simplistic and
use the IPC std as if it were the MIL std called up in your drawings.

Calvin,
Go to the DSCC web site

is available as a pdf file.

I know IPC-2223 replaces them but everybody list these specs in their
documentation. Can anyone help?
I found several sites that list them but the links are dead.
Thanks,
\\\|///

To answer your question you have to ask yourself first what reliability =
is:
Reliability =3D Ability of a given identity to fulfill the required =
mission within a given time frame in a defined environment under a given =
load with a required probability.
This definition gives you the whole bandwidth on the parameters you have =
to look at.
- Thermal=20
- Mechanical
- Thermomechanical
- Electrical (Including EMC)
- Humidity
- Chemical attack (including corrosion)
Depending on the application you have to choose the test sequence that has =
to be applied. No easy job.
But be careful.=20
- You are not only talking about testing. You talk about accelerated =
testing. This means you talk about physics of failure. For each test you =
choose you have to think about the failure mechanisms you are about to =
activate and you have to understand the influence of the testing parameters=
on that particular mechanism.
Examples:
. Chemical processes can be regarded at as thermally activated. This =
means, in a first attempt you can run a tests with at least 3 temperatures =
to evaluate the activation energy for the Arrhenius law you can apply to =
your problem. This activation energy might incorporate several mechanisms =
activated. However, for practical purposes this is precise enough. Based =
on this knowledge you can design the accelerated test that allows you an =
estimation of the reliability in the real world.=20
. Solder joints. A problem that Werner an I work and discuss on for many =
years now. Assuming that our model holds, tin based solder joints deform =
with two deformation mechanisms. Grain Boundary Sliding and Dislocation =
Climb. Both contribute their own part to the degradation of the solder =
joint. Senseless accelerated testing will activate large amounts of DC =
that never occur in reality. It will therefor be very difficult to =
extrapolate (anyway always a dangerous thing to do) the results found to =
the real environment.
- Reliability is a probability. This means, you need enough samples to =
find that number. Just ask the people finding failure rates of IC's they =
might give you an idea.
However, you are not alone. As a matter of fact all these questions are =
subject to research and I only mentioned how difficult the business is to =
show that we scientists are real big cracks. Seriously, there is a lot of =
data around in literature, but it's not a small job to find them. On the =
other hand you might even not ask for reliability but comparative testing. =
In this case, where you have a known specimen that fulfills your reliabilit=
y requirements you can design a test where you activate the interesting =
degradation mechanism(s) in both specimen to the same extend and compare =
the results of the two. Still not a peace of cake but a lot easier than =
starting from scratch.
Still, it's a fun job. Most of the time.

Dear Antonio,
An easy and simple way of determining the Reliability of a PTH (double-side
or multilayer) is to carry out a
Thermal Stress test on A/B Coupons integrated in the design as a part of
the panel outside the circuit area.
The coupon has to be cut out from the panel after PCB PROCESS Completion
without mechanical stress and coupon
cured for 1 hour at 120 deg C.
The specimen has to be cooled to room temperature under normal room
temperature conditions.
A mould has to be prepared with appropriate grinding and polishing for
metallographic inspection under a Stereo
Microscope having at least 50 magnification with illumination. If there
are no barrel cracks/discontinuity between
inner layers and barrel and also at the knee, then the PTH is supposed to
be reliable. If the Coupon specimen
can withstand higher cycles of thermal stress (>3) without any problems
the reliability is inferred to be high.

Dave,
I really agree with all you say - to the extent possible without your vast
knowledge and experience. It's really the warm and fuzzy suggestion you made
that has me concerned.
The company selling the software is a consultancy selling their reliability
wares. To me, they have a foot in the door each time they "give" away "free"
software of the type in discussion.
I have, and will continue to, informed my management they will have trouble
down stream if their customer continues pursuing the easy way to
reliability. They are quite aware of my position to the extent they want a
plan essentially to counter the claims made by the software consultants if
the customer continues its use.
I have such a plan and will implement it at time of all the product I did FA
work on while redesigning it using DFM/CE tools. When this happens, I will
provide all the evidence in my plan concerning not only the parts in
question, but the entire assembly. This will be based on industry data used
to construct documents such as several IPC types.
I am a quality and reliability hard case. I do not profess to compete with
fine folks like you, but I certainly can point to you as an example of
someone to call in if and when necessary. Sorry to say, I hope this does not
have to happen because if we in industry haven't gotten it close to right so
far, we never will.
Thanks,
Earl

This gives you details of fluids with BPs of 155, 166, 200, 210, 215,
230, 240 and 260 =B0C. Surely you can find one to suit almost any
application in that range.
However, I repeat my earlier warning that these products are horrific
global warmers and are not exactly given away with a packet of corn

That would certainly make VP more palatable. If not due to VOC taxes, =
why
are the fluids so expensive?

Subject: [TN] MIL-P-50884 and MIL-STD-2118
Hello, everyone,
I am looking for MIL-P-50884 and MIL-STD-2118 (Flex, Rigid-Flex specs)
that are not longer active.
I know IPC-2223 replaces them but everybody list these specs in their
documentation. Can anyone help?
I found several sites that list them but the links are dead.
Thanks,

Subject: How old is old?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
One of the purchasers has asked if they can purchase some parts with a 2000
date code on them for 'a really great deal!' The part is an 8 lead uSOIC
package
At what point do you say they are too old?
I would appreciate info specific to this package or, just in general,
guidelines for chip or standard SM components. We do not use BGA's yet. We
aren't trying to do lead free. We generally spec 60/40 HASL finish on our
boards.
Thanks for your time.

(Scoring is not in the realm of possible avenues here, there are connectors

I can see your thinking, but an earlier poster was correct: although the
melting point of the solder is higher than the wave soldering temperature,
if the higher melting alloy sees the wave it will dissolve in it in much the
same way as say electroless gold (MP 1064C) on a PCB does.
If you still want to go ahead, be aware that there are a number of higher
melting point alloys you could use in the range 270 - 280C. These are
generally characterised as having a high lead content with smaller additions
of tin, silver, indium and so on to 100% according to the precise melting
point you are looking for. This high lead content means the joints will be
slow to form and dull in appearance. At the higher range you will be near to
caramelising the flux and if you need to remove it you may find (according
to the supplier) some difficulty in doing so effectively as it will tend to
bake on.
Because of the small usage of these alloys in wire form - compared to Sn63 -
you may not find they are all available flux cored and you will need to
apply flux separately. Here I would recommend you use a paste flux which you
can apply from a syringe. (ours is called Tacflux, other suppliers will have
their own names). This is less messy and more controlled than painting on
liquid flux and also gives you the opportunity to get more easily cleanable
or no clean types suited to the higher melting alloys.
You will need to use a decent iron capable of operating at the higher
temperatures and delivering the heat correctly without damaging the board
and pad adhesion, and pay attention to proper tip dressing and control so as
not to get tip dewetting.
Alternatives might be to use a dispense solder paste and hot air repair
tool.
Good luck

Subject: Re: [TN] High temperature solder wire
Hello eter,
Adhesive dispensing, chip placement, reflow(glue curing), manual insertion,
then wave soldering are our normal processes. After reflow we sometimes find
some mis-aligned chips or missing components. The area of glue in contact
with the surface of the mis-aligned chip could be less than normal and the
adhesion force is insufficient to protect the chip from dropping off during
wave soldering. Therefore we want to use high temp solder to solder the
mis-aligned chips prior to wave soldering. We know that we could detach the
parts after reflow and hand solder the parts after the wave soldering but we
think adding hi-temp solder is the simpliest way since there is no
detachment process is involved.

Mel,
Just a trip to the past. I do remember some fond days working with the two
documents in question.
Ah, the happy times in the late 70's and early 80's in Dayton with Ivan
Jones, then of DESC, Foster Grey of TI, what was his cohort's name, Dave
Wolf, Marty Jawitz, and who was the Navy (from DC) guy we had to visit to

Ah yes, the smell of burning flex circuits in the morning! Please pardon the

Have you considered temporary spot mask? It works okay for chip resistors
and capacitors, SOT. Not too good for SOIC, stuff gets stuck under the

Hello Richard,
This subject comes up about once a year with various CM's and military
packaging accounts.
99.9% of the time the problem is with the supplier.
Please reference the following quote.
"Sealing of Anodic Coatings"
"To achieve the maximum protective qualities and corrosion resistance
required for finished articles, the anodic oxide must be sealed after it is
formed and/or colored. The sealing process consists of immersing the
anodized parts in a solution of boiling water or other solution such as
nickel acetate, wherein the aluminum oxide is hydrated. The hydrated form of
the oxide has greater volume than the unhydrated form and thus the pores of
the coating are filled or plugged and the coating becomes resistant to
further staining and corrosion. The use of nickel containing seals will in
most cases prevent leaching of dyes during the sealing operation."
"Metal Finishing '99 Guidebook and Directory," 67th Guidebook and Directory
Issue, Metal Finishing Magazine, Tarrytown, NY, 1999, p.491.
If you have a quantity of these parts available and need to keep production
going, you can try a boiling water treatment of the heat sink parts.
Typically 20 -30 minutes of immersion will be sufficient.
Any further questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Best regards

Hello all, I have a question regarding Type II Class II black anodize of

Mel,
Just a trip to the past. I do remember some fond days working with the two

Ah, the happy times in the late 70's and early 80's in Dayton with Ivan
Jones, then of DESC, Foster Grey of TI, what was his cohort's name, Dave
Wolf, Marty Jawitz, and who was the Navy (from DC) guy we had to visit to

Ah yes, the smell of burning flex circuits in the morning! Please pardon the

Hello all, many thanks to all who answered and helped with my questions
about my Hot Air Knife problems... now I have another question.
We have a brand new Agilent 5DX x-ray system. Maybe some users of this
equipment could give me their impression of how well this machine evaluates
Plastic BGA solder joints and also, how well it does with bottom side SMD
that has been wave soldered.

Thanks Ed,
I was fishing to see who still remembered him. Jack was stoic, to say the
least, and always seemed on top of everyting. This seemed true even, with
pipe in mouth, he drifted off into a semi-conscious world only to be found
very alert as though considering what was "thrown" at him. Lunch at the
Marriott, across the overhead walkway, seemed a good setting to reflect.
He told me he was retiring to a "farm" in Virginia. I lost contact after
that announcement and apparent happening.
Thanks again Ed, I liked the man,
Earl

At what point do you say they are too old?
I would appreciate info specific to this package or, just in general,

Jim,
These are expensive because:
1) There are few companies that make them
2) Demand is low
3) Working with fluorine compounds usually ain't cheap. To give you some
idea:
For making perfluoro compounds "A number of reactive metal fluorides have
been employed, including AgF2, PbF4, HgF2 and Co F3, the last being the most
useful. The general reaction may be expressed as follows:
>CH2 + 4CoF3--->CF2 + 4CoF2 + 2HF (at 110 - 400 C)
followed, in a separate stage, by
2CoF2 + F2 ---> 2CoF3 (250 - 400C)"1.
It is not economical because so much fluorine ends up as HF and there are a
whole pile of side reactions, which increase in number as you try to make
longer and longer chains (No surprise there.)
There may be newer, better ways, but you can bet there are still lots of
nasty things to have to deal with. So unless the manufacturer wants to have
a lot of dissolved workers, everything is going to be done in high quality
nickel or Monel metal, with valves that costs thousands of dollars a piece.
1. One of my favourite references, an oldy but a goody (shows what happens
to a hand put in conc. HF - good safety reminder) A.J. Rudge, The
Manufacture and Use of Fluorine and Its Compounds, Oxford University Press,
London, 1962.

That would certainly make VP more palatable. If not due to VOC taxes, why

in the data you are talking about.
Hence, Fomblin and Galden perfluoropolyether fluids have a ZERO
Ozone Depletion Potential and are not classified as VOCs by the
EPA.

See http://www.ausimont.com/docs/gald_vapor.html
This gives you details of fluids with BPs of 155, 166, 200, 210, 215,
230, 240 and 260 °C. Surely you can find one to suit almost any
application in that range.
However, I repeat my earlier warning that these products are horrific
global warmers and are not exactly given away with a packet of corn

Guenter,
Well said! I would add that certain tests that use coupons, dummy compontents, and/or special circuitry are not reliability tests at all. They are process indicator tests and even though they may have an impact on reliability they will not tell you if the product really works!

It will therefor be very difficult to extrapolate (anyway always a dangerous thing to do) the results found to the real environment.

Seriously, there is a lot of data around in literature, but it's not a small job to find them. On the other hand you might even not ask for reliability but comparative testing. In this case, where you have a known specimen that fulfills your reliability requirements you can design a test where you activate the interesting degradation mechanism(s) in both specimen to the same extend and compare the results of the two. Still not a peace of cake but a lot easier than starting from scratch.

Genny,
About 5 years is as long as you can store components and expect them to
still work afterwards. If they're "exercised" on a regular basis while in
proper storage (say every 6 months), they can last a lot longer, but it's
impossible to say how much longer.
If you can be assured that the components have bee properly stored and you
can use them up quickly enough, maybe he has got a good deal. I'ld check
their provenance pretty thoroughly first before buying, though.

One of the purchasers has asked if they can purchase some parts with a 2000
date code on them for 'a really great deal!' The part is an 8 lead uSOIC
package
At what point do you say they are too old?
I would appreciate info specific to this package or, just in general,
guidelines for chip or standard SM components. We do not use BGA's yet.
We
aren't trying to do lead free. We generally spec 60/40 HASL finish on our
boards.
Thanks for your time.

Jim,
These are expensive because:
1) There are few companies that make them
2) Demand is low
3) Working with fluorine compounds usually ain't cheap. To give you =
some
idea:
For making perfluoro compounds "A number of reactive metal fluorides =
have
been employed, including AgF2, PbF4, HgF2 and Co F3, the last being the =
most
useful. The general reaction may be expressed as follows:
>CH2 + 4CoF3--->CF2 + 4CoF2 + 2HF (at 110 - 400 C)
followed, in a separate stage, by
2CoF2 + F2 ---> 2CoF3 (250 - 400C)"1.
It is not economical because so much fluorine ends up as HF and there =
are a
whole pile of side reactions, which increase in number as you try to =
make
longer and longer chains (No surprise there.)
There may be newer, better ways, but you can bet there are still lots =
of
nasty things to have to deal with. So unless the manufacturer wants to =
have
a lot of dissolved workers, everything is going to be done in high =
quality
nickel or Monel metal, with valves that costs thousands of dollars a =
piece.
1. One of my favourite references, an oldy but a goody (shows what =

I do not think these are ozone depleter but they are very costly.
This is the statement that they give regarding there material
in the data you are talking about.
Hence, Fomblin and Galden perfluoropolyether fluids have a ZERO
Ozone Depletion Potential and are not classified as VOCs by the
EPA.

This gives you details of fluids with BPs of 155, 166, 200, 210, 215,

I was surprised by Peter's response to your post. I wonder what he means by
exercised.
I have work experience with manufactures of electronic instruments that are
serviced for 50+ years (Been in business since just before W.W.II. In the
early seventies they transitioned from analog to digital 27 V NMOS logic
devices. They have components in storage from that time frame. There are
occasional problems with lead frames that have failed (rusted under the
gold) and occasional bad lots of die (didn't test everything before it was
placed in storage). But, mostly, they are able to service and guarantee
their work using solid state devices that were manufactured over 25 years
ago. They use (stored in their own vaults or purchased through brokers)
components that have been out of production for five to ten years; these
would include Crowbar ICs, Switch-mode regulator ICs, Bucket-Brigade ICs, OP
AMPs, Voltage Regulators and Transistors. I cannot recall getting bad (non
functional) parts but we did have our soldering problems.
Occasionally, there were differences in the performance of components that
required changes to passive component values in some designs. We believed
this was due to variation that was present at the time the components were
made rather than related to changes over time.
Relays or other Electro-mechanical devices are a concern (reed switches,
motors, valves, solenoids). We had problems with them. But it would be hard
to place a shelf life on them, are they hermetically sealed (many were to
allow chemical cleaning)? Most of the problems I experienced were with open
parts. Today many relays are open assuming no-clean processing.
Electrolytic capacitors, carbon resistors are a concern but carbon resistors
are really a thing of the past. SMT Electrolytic cans, five years would be a
very conservative limit if you are talking about function.
Solderabiltiy is your main concern Genny.

So I think we'll go for it!

Guy,
The obvious answer is that modern SMT parts are totally different animals than those of past decades.
Even the U.S. Army has major concerns about long term storage of modern components and circuitry.

Hi Richard,
If you send me the recommended footprints, I can give you some general
advice in the Pick and Place / In Circuit Test Pad design. We have done a
few duals, but I try to "prohibit" them as you use up board real estate very
quickly.

I have a situation in which my company wishes to "dual source" an IC, the
only catch is that one is an so package and the other is a sop package.
This is a new problem for me. I am looking to the experience and expertise
of this list to help me come to the correct answer for my company.
Any advise/opinion/experience will be appreciated.

These parts are castellated, are gold plated castellations, are PCB material

Moon man:
I a not so long ago life, we used these with great results. We had them
placed on a normal FR-4 board that was HASL. We had a number of 25 mil
pitch components on the board but the stencil thickness was if I remember
.007 thick. I do not remember the parts being gold plated but if they
were we had no problem with the parts in either placement or reliability.
We made a few thousand boards and as I said I can never remember any issues
with these parts.
Just my 2cents worth

A couple of questions for what has become my best engineering resource.

The window would spec ; max 2 C /sec ramp up, max 60 sec dwell above 180 C, max 220 C peak, and a 2 C/sec max ramp down. Could you live with this?
Many thanks for your help,

A good start is to get a copy of the new IPC-4101A released December 2001.
The IPC Technical Review also tracks what is happening on specification
reviews and I am sure the IPC.org web site also probably has it also. New
materials are usually added at the working sessions on specification
revision at IPC EXPO and the annual meeting later in the year at the request
of the material supplier or a user. The 3-11 subcommittee(4101A) is chaired
by Doug Sober of Polyclad Laminates.

Hey Earl,
This product construction is very similar to ours.
Last year I made several visits to a CM in the San Jose area who was having
trouble with the solder of "our" parts. Turns out that they were having
trouble with any part of this type construction, filters, vco's pll's etc.
Here's what I learned from that exercise;
1) Don't let anyone X-ray the parts. Since the castelations are so large
(compared to std leadless ceramic chip carriers) they tend to suck up
solder. X-ray analysis shows voids on the bottom pads. This is not a
problem since the electrical connection is to the top side through the "half
moon via" aka castelation. The connection is ok mechanically too, my
customers component engineer tore a part off the board with vise grips, the
PCB failed before the solder connection. (This ended our discussion with the
CM about the reliability of the solder joint.)
2) This shouldn't be a problem with EM Research but watch out for burrs in
the castelations, they inhibit a good filet.
The gold plating doesn't seem to do anything but help with this type of
part. We use it on some of our high end parts but avoid it because of cost
considerations on the commodity product lines.
Hope you find this helpful,
Dan

JIT is a discipline, a method of improving processes.
Inventory hides problems with processes. When you lower your inventory you
expose problems. Think of it this way. Your business is a ship floating on a
sea of inventory. When you lower the level you expose rocks. You need to
identify the rocks, avoid them, remove them then lower the level some more.
If you simply lower the level (Simply “Move to Just in time deliveries”) you
will crash on the rocks.
JIT is most frequently discussed in the context of quality management.
Kanban is another term for “pull systems”. Do a Google search on Kanban.
Last week someone was looking for Lean Manufacturing Information. There are
some links in the TechNet Archives. They are related disciplines.
Try this link: http://www.apics.org/ as well.

Dan,
Depends on the solder - the window you suggest may be very roughly OK for
conventional solder but if you are using lead free, then your reflow temp
will certainly need to be much higher (check the specs of the solder).
Also, in my experience, a 2 C/sec ramp up is a little conservative - if you
have a good "soak" or level period before rising to relfow you can even
things out and so ramp up a bit faster (never had troubles with 2.5 C/sec).
2 C/sec ramp down is definitely slow and there are probably advantages in
dropping off much faster, particularly from the reflow peak to well under
liquidous (maybe as fast as 4 C/sec?).
Just some thoughts.

Two part question... The first is relative to the beloved 4101; I think the
spec your looking for is actually the IPC-125 "Spec for Substrate of High
Speed/Freq" (or roughly titled like that). Once you dive into the wonderful
world of IPC specs (I am not being sarcastic) you find directional guides as
well. One such document is IPC-107 "STD for PWB Matl" it gives a title and
number run down.
Second part... Actually I don't know how to introduce "new" materials... and
shame on me for not knowing. The IPC being technical based by industry
contributions (technical input) needs some level of "volunteer time." To
that end I plan on attending the IPC west in March and being more ingrained.
The bottom-line, the material you refer to (4K series) is not in the 125 spec
(or any other). It is important to call this type of material by name and
supplier due to it does not have a direct replacement that will not require
some amount of redesign or reengineering. Even in a military environment I
use a "source/spec control" drawing.

Hi Richard,
It depends on the actual component dimensions and pinouts. Sometimes it
works out, sometimes it doesn't. Unfortunately, not all component
manufacturers mean the same thing when they say "SO" and "SOP". If you'd
like to send me drawings and pinouts of the two packages (or at least a full
manufacturer's part number for each), I'd be happy to look them over.
Something to consider is that if the pads from one component are under the
body of the other and there is not much standoff height, I could imagine
some trouble. If this is indeed a problem, you would need a separate
stencil for each variant of the assembly.

Sorry folks, I think I had a false send there... double click madness...
JIT is great, it gets you out of the inventory business. We do quite a bit
Just In Time deliveries. It requires a sound relationship and good contract.
We supply boads per week or month or in some cases there are folks who will
inventory your shelves and replenish accordingly. What's nice in the bare
board business is there is no overage gone to waste and parts can be built
during non busy times maximizing factory capacity. It is a win/win.
Wonderful.
In a more global perspective the book REENGINEERING the CORPORATION gives a
good example of Fords "workforce 2000" and their JIT.

I don't want to speak for Doug or Eric,but we are planning on addressing
that issue in the Materials Sub-committee meeting at IPC Expo.

Hi Greg,
Just in time is a great concept for reducing inventory. It depends on both
you and your supplier being able to predict your schedules fairly
accurately. It also requires that any changes in your demand or their
ability to supply be communicated a reasonable period in advance. This
means that your supplier must either have very reliable component and bare
board suppliers or be willing to inventory parts for you. Does this
describe your situation?
The just in time system works best when the design of the assembly is
stable, all processes are qualified and all supplier relationships are
tight. If a component on your assembly suddenly becomes short
industry-wide, will your supplier go to bat for you? Or will they call you
the week before a scheduled delivery and ask you to find and qualify an
alternative part that someone has 10,000 pieces of on the shelf? Similarly,
is your company willing to give your supplier adequate warning on
engineering changes or does your business require the ability to make last
minute changes?
This system is a thing of beauty when it works and your worst nightmare when
it doesn't. The potential cost savings can be easily eaten up and then some
if either party does not keep their end of the bargain. Make sure your own
purchasing department doesn't think this is a way to reduce inventory with
no extra work on their part. Then ask your supplier to show you how their
processes and supplier relationships give them the ability to reliably
deliver within a given time window. If you can, negotiate a bonus if they
stay within the window and variable penalties of they go outside it.
Finally, you need to consider if the electronics cost is a large enough
fraction of your total product cost to warrant the risk that you won't be
able to deliver to your customers on time?

Thanks for all the replies. I've guess I've gotten a partial answer. I was
unaware that 4101A and 4103 had been published. My updated copies haven't
made it to me yet.
The unanswered portion of my question is what happens as new slash sheets
are created between formal revisions of these documents? Surely the whole
100+ page documents revised just to incorporate a few new material slash
sheets, are they? Is there a subscription that I need to have to
automatically receive new slash sheets as they are added.

shame on me for not knowing. The IPC being technical based by industry

Guy,
The received wisdom I have from our design and engineering team is that
components stored undisturbed for more than 5 years may (and I stress
'may') have a significantly degraded reliability/functionality.
You talked of instruments having been serviced for 50+ years, and that was
the point I was trying to make - if equipment is in service (being used or
'exercised') on a regular basis, it tends to keep going, but degrade if
just left under 'normal' conditions. Consider a car that is left unused for
any length of time. My experience is that they never quite function
properly straight away if you then try to use it. On the other hand, a car
in regular use and properly maintained can go on for years and years.
Genny's situation is a judgement call, based on experience and risk
assesment. I agree that solderability will be the main issue, and that if
properly stored, 5 years is a conservative estimate of a component's
lifespan. Depends on the application. In my line of military avionics, we
don't like to take too many chances on mission critical equipment, and
component obsolescence/lifetime buys is a major issue with us -
increasingly so as technological changes advance at a seemingly exponential
rate. We're also increasingly having to use industrial grade parts instead
of MIL parts as availability of MIL parts diminishes. Additonal screening
to MIL levels is time consuming and expensive, so we have to minimise risks
in other ways. One of them is to limit the time for which components can be
stored. Regular exercise (power up, stimulation or whatever is appropriate)
helps to keep the parts in shape.

I was surprised by Peter's response to your post. I wonder what he means by
exercised.
I have work experience with manufactures of electronic instruments that are
serviced for 50+ years (Been in business since just before W.W.II. In the
early seventies they transitioned from analog to digital 27 V NMOS logic
devices. They have components in storage from that time frame. There are
occasional problems with lead frames that have failed (rusted under the
gold) and occasional bad lots of die (didn't test everything before it was
placed in storage). But, mostly, they are able to service and guarantee
their work using solid state devices that were manufactured over 25 years
ago. They use (stored in their own vaults or purchased through brokers)
components that have been out of production for five to ten years; these
would include Crowbar ICs, Switch-mode regulator ICs, Bucket-Brigade ICs,
OP
AMPs, Voltage Regulators and Transistors. I cannot recall getting bad (non
functional) parts but we did have our soldering problems.
Occasionally, there were differences in the performance of components that
required changes to passive component values in some designs. We believed
this was due to variation that was present at the time the components were
made rather than related to changes over time.
Relays or other Electro-mechanical devices are a concern (reed switches,
motors, valves, solenoids). We had problems with them. But it would be hard
to place a shelf life on them, are they hermetically sealed (many were to
allow chemical cleaning)? Most of the problems I experienced were with open
parts. Today many relays are open assuming no-clean processing.
Electrolytic capacitors, carbon resistors are a concern but carbon
resistors
are really a thing of the past. SMT Electrolytic cans, five years would be
a
very conservative limit if you are talking about function.
Solderabiltiy is your main concern Genny.

This chart just shows how different prepreg glass styles (construction) are
used to build up different dielectric thicknesses. FR4-04 is .11mm or
.0043", FR4-06 is .0051". -17 is .0122" thick.
From a cost point of view, prepreg costs are basically the same per sheet
regardless of thickness. The exception is 106 which has a slight premium
because it's so thin there's always an associated amount of handling damage.
When building up a specified thickness, the fewer sheets of prepreg that are
used, the cheaper the construction. Compare -19 and -20. Both are .37mm
thick but one is 2 plies of 7628 while the other is a 3-ply mis of 2113 and
7628. -19 is cheaper becuase it only has 2 plies.
The downside is that the 7628 glass has relatively large bundles making it
difficult to drill. It also has a lower resin content which can limit it's
use in some stackups. There are also other drawbacks to using 7628 is some
applications.
Of course the main driving force in specifying materials is what dielectric
thickness do you need. If you need have 10 layer board .062" thick you're
not going to be able to use -17 or-19. It just won't fit.
Your trusty fabricator should be able to walk you through selecting the
appropriate thicknesses and constructions.

No. There may be some guidelines, but no standards that I've come across.
The decision to scrap a product or rework it is up to the QA Engineer and
depends on things like customer contract conditions (levels of rework
permissible), the value of the product, the nature, time and cost of rework
vs. replacement, and a degree of common sense and practicality. Look to
those things first, and if you can't find adequate guidance there, it has
to be a judgement call.
I feel it's dangerous to always look for standards to solve every problem
anyway. They can't and they won't, and if they tried to, they would
seriously constrain individual man's ability to assess things for himself
and make decisions. Genuine processes DO require standards for consistency
and repeatability, but the paths to arriving at a decision and taking that
decision should never be "standard" - unless you're a computer or a robot.

JIT is a method of shifting your inventory into your supplier's lap.
If they can do it, great. If they can't, you have to pay for somebody who
will.
Strangely, a JIT shipment has longer lead times than any other - talk about
inflexibility!

No, there is no advantage in dropping off much faster, in fact you risk
fracturing your just formed SJs due to warping because of the thermal shock
temperature gradients.

You all can download my Lean manufacturing .ppt presentation from Seth's ftp
site. Ioan, did you get it?
Jit is Lean. Lean simply means eliminating waste. Waste is anything not
adding value to product. Waste is excess inventory, wasted motion, wasted
time, etc. The 5 S's are a good starting point for lean. It is impossible to
have lean unless all players in the supply chain are CONCURRENTLY involved
and working in accordance with specified contract requirements up and down
the supply/food chain.
Kanban is an indicator and is used in lean. Lean is linear and nothing can
be moved unless the Kanban is empty. Lean is based on a pull manufacturing
system dictated by customer demand. Customer demand is based on takt time or
a rythm much like a drum beat. Takt time sets the pace for which product is
manufactured and supplied. When the drum beat is faster so is demand.
Unlike a push system employing a highly wasteful manufacturing methodology,
that constantly clogs the system with high inventory, a pull system has no
waste. It goes on and on but it is a simple concept/methodology when understood.
Kaizen is continuous improvement. A good quality system, like ISO when
properly employed and managed, is designed to seek continuous improvement to
eliminate waste.
And on it goes,
MoonMan

Hi Werner,
Fair comment - I don't claim to be an expert. Temperature gradient on cool
down is a bit of a mystery to me still - I seem to hear a lot of ideas that
are not really compatible. It seems logical enough that components or most
dissimilar materials are going to struggle to hold together under a
temperature change exceeding 4 C/sec, but then I've heard discussion that a
fast cool down can produce a better solder joint
metallurgically....should've paid more attention in materials engineering
back at uni or at least gone back to Wassink, shouldn't I?
Anyway, what about wave soldering? How do things hold together here? On
both entry and exit temperature gradients are clearly extreme.. Should I be
taking steps to gain control over the cooldown rate as soon as possible
after an assembly leaves the wave and then hold it to something close to 2 /
sec?
Regards,
Richard van Beveren

Good morning Techneters,
I am working on DFM Improvement project. Trying to
create a complete DFM list is my first step. Even
though, each manufacture would have their own DFM due
to their specific process and organization; however,
it would be a great start to learn from your
expertises.
Any advise or guideline or example of DFM checklist

Subject: Re: MILITARY STYLE ALMOST LCCC PARTS
X-To: [log in to unmask]
Thanks Dan and others for the input and it seems mostly positive. Still, I
question the part first because it is based on the LCCC style. I haven't
tried dissecting a part yet to determine what sits atop the PCB and how the
internal device/chip is attached to it - die attache and wire bond I suppose.
My biggest concerns are the gold and bow and twist of the part and the PCB
to which it is attached. We have another out of control board situation, I
just got into yesterday, and its warpage problem I am now solving
(completely unbalanced MLB construction - what else but an unqualified
supplier). The gold bothers me because I do not know its thickness and
whether it is electroplated.
With regards to gold, if electroplated, are you or anyone else solder
dipping to remove it before attempting assembly. Just don't want
embrittlement some where down the line.
Thanks again,
MoonMan

This is not my field but I have been following this with interest. It might
be interesting if it were possible to ask what train companies do - their
signalling equipment is safety critical, legislated/regulated, long lasting
and therefore subject to much the same strictures as mil stuff in terms of
operational requirements interchangeability and so on.

Subject: Re: [TN] How old is old?
Guy,
The received wisdom I have from our design and engineering team is that
components stored undisturbed for more than 5 years may (and I stress
'may') have a significantly degraded reliability/functionality.
You talked of instruments having been serviced for 50+ years, and that was
the point I was trying to make - if equipment is in service (being used or
'exercised') on a regular basis, it tends to keep going, but degrade if
just left under 'normal' conditions. Consider a car that is left unused for
any length of time. My experience is that they never quite function
properly straight away if you then try to use it. On the other hand, a car
in regular use and properly maintained can go on for years and years.
Genny's situation is a judgement call, based on experience and risk
assesment. I agree that solderability will be the main issue, and that if
properly stored, 5 years is a conservative estimate of a component's
lifespan. Depends on the application. In my line of military avionics, we
don't like to take too many chances on mission critical equipment, and
component obsolescence/lifetime buys is a major issue with us -
increasingly so as technological changes advance at a seemingly exponential
rate. We're also increasingly having to use industrial grade parts instead
of MIL parts as availability of MIL parts diminishes. Additonal screening
to MIL levels is time consuming and expensive, so we have to minimise risks
in other ways. One of them is to limit the time for which components can be
stored. Regular exercise (power up, stimulation or whatever is appropriate)
helps to keep the parts in shape.

I was surprised by Peter's response to your post. I wonder what he means by
exercised.
I have work experience with manufactures of electronic instruments that are
serviced for 50+ years (Been in business since just before W.W.II. In the
early seventies they transitioned from analog to digital 27 V NMOS logic
devices. They have components in storage from that time frame. There are
occasional problems with lead frames that have failed (rusted under the
gold) and occasional bad lots of die (didn't test everything before it was
placed in storage). But, mostly, they are able to service and guarantee
their work using solid state devices that were manufactured over 25 years
ago. They use (stored in their own vaults or purchased through brokers)
components that have been out of production for five to ten years; these
would include Crowbar ICs, Switch-mode regulator ICs, Bucket-Brigade ICs,
OP
AMPs, Voltage Regulators and Transistors. I cannot recall getting bad (non
functional) parts but we did have our soldering problems.
Occasionally, there were differences in the performance of components that
required changes to passive component values in some designs. We believed
this was due to variation that was present at the time the components were
made rather than related to changes over time.
Relays or other Electro-mechanical devices are a concern (reed switches,
motors, valves, solenoids). We had problems with them. But it would be hard
to place a shelf life on them, are they hermetically sealed (many were to
allow chemical cleaning)? Most of the problems I experienced were with open
parts. Today many relays are open assuming no-clean processing.
Electrolytic capacitors, carbon resistors are a concern but carbon
resistors
are really a thing of the past. SMT Electrolytic cans, five years would be
a
very conservative limit if you are talking about function.
Solderabiltiy is your main concern Genny.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Fellow Technetters,
I'm in the middle of a 'frank and forthright' discussion at the moment on whether it is possible to justify substituting a set of environmental
tests carried out in parallel on a device i.e.. 10 devices go through vibration, another 10 go through high temp operating etc... for a customer
requirement for sequential testing i.e. take 10 devices and put them through all the tests.
I'm of the opinion that even if you up the severity of each parallel test it still isn't the same as a sequential test because you won't catch the
failure mechanisms that results from a combination of effects e.g.. high humidity weakening an adhesive joint which then fails the shock test. You
wouldn't see a failure if you tested 10 devices for high humidity and another 10 for shock.
I'd be interested in some opinions or some literature references which discuss this issue.
Regards,

Hey Earl,
This subject brings back a time of trials and tribulations concerning solder
joint crack propogation using LCCCs and "like" devices. Beginning with the
Coffin-Manson Law and the Engelmaier (Sir Werner's) equation, it was
determined that solder joint volume needed to be increased and the
"acceptable geometry" needed to be modified, almost to point of "the bigger
the blob the better the job". Without getting into too many specifics, the
pad dimensions for these parts require augmentation from the norm by
increasing the pad length that extends outward from the device periphery to
a length equal to the pad length that is under the part. The idea is to
increase the solder joint volume up the castellation and outward to the pad
creating a "bulbous" fillet -- this portion of the joint contributes to 85%
of the solder joint life with respect to crack formation and propogation.
The attained solder joints do go against general Rf rules of thumb (the
shortest path is best) but I was unaware of any performance issues with
applications below 2gHz. As one Rf designer told me years ago, ..."don't
put a stress relief bend on that ribbon, just add more solder..."
Hope this helps, if not, sorry for adding clutter to your cave!

Hi technos,
first I want to say to the Moonman "got your lean thing, as well as all the
other documents you put there. Big thanks to you and Seth".
Now, my question to the forum is: what are the rules in determining the
diameter of vias? Has it anything to do with the current or the power? Can a
power supply board, stepping down from 600V to 220V, have 0.018" vias?
I know it sounds trivial, but I'm no EE.
Thanks,

Yes Steve,
Those were the days. Still active for some but for constraining or tailoring
core requirements for CTE. Don't have that problem here as after taking one
of the little beasts apart, there's really nothing inside that would
override the CTE matching characteristics both on the part and the MLB.
So, life is good but for getting the gold of the part's solder termination
areas. No problem there either.
Straigtening out the MLB's radically unbalanced construction, based on
impedance requirements, has been a bit more interesting but positive as
well. I have a .5 oz. plane on the bottom of the six layer structure and one
on the 4th layer. The space between layer 1 and layer four has to be 39
mils. So, I made the dielectrics up of 2 plies of 7628, sandwiched between 2
plies of 1080, in each of the two dielectrics. Then I made the layer 4 plane
out of 2 oz. Cu foil. The other dielectrics are all 2 ply 2113. Therefore,
when fabricated in a qualified supplier's carefully managed relamination
process, under specified time, temp, and pressure, with a well managed cool
down cycle, the boards will be flat.
Thanks and how's that for one day's work, or was it two?
Earl

Hi Earl! Never a dull moment in that cave of yours! Sorry, I don't have any

Hi Richard! There was a considerable discussion several years back on the
"potential" solder joint thermal cycle reliability life improvement by
attempting to create a given solder joint microstructure. However, a number
of industry presentations/papers (by Werner, Klein Wassink, etc) have
demonstrated (based on metallurgical principles) that it is not possible to
"freeze" the solder joint microstructure for a given use environment - the
solder joint microstructure changes even at room temperature. The industry
focus was shifted from solder joint microstructure to solder joint geometry
and wetting attributes. With the implementation of PbFree solder processes
I am guessing the issue will be reexamined.

Hi Werner,
Fair comment - I don't claim to be an expert. Temperature gradient on cool
down is a bit of a mystery to me still - I seem to hear a lot of ideas that
are not really compatible. It seems logical enough that components or most
dissimilar materials are going to struggle to hold together under a
temperature change exceeding 4 C/sec, but then I've heard discussion that a
fast cool down can produce a better solder joint
metallurgically....should've paid more attention in materials engineering
back at uni or at least gone back to Wassink, shouldn't I?
Anyway, what about wave soldering? How do things hold together here? On
both entry and exit temperature gradients are clearly extreme.. Should I
be
taking steps to gain control over the cooldown rate as soon as possible
after an assembly leaves the wave and then hold it to something close to 2
/
sec?

Thanks for the input Dave,
Our posts probably just crossed paths as I just replied to Steve Sauer

the gold before soldering to my warped all to hell board but soon not to be.
Just a note about my cave situation as Werner tried to match me up with a
ground hog. Hog maybe, or a bear, but not of the ground variety. Certainly
more esciting lately outside the cave than in it.

Subject: [TN] Environmental Testing - parallel vs. sequential
Fellow Technetters,
I'm in the middle of a 'frank and forthright' discussion at the moment on
whether it is possible to justify substituting a set of environmental
tests carried out in parallel on a device i.e.. 10 devices go through
vibration, another 10 go through high temp operating etc... for a customer
requirement for sequential testing i.e. take 10 devices and put them through
all the tests.
I'm of the opinion that even if you up the severity of each parallel test it
still isn't the same as a sequential test because you won't catch the
failure mechanisms that results from a combination of effects e.g.. high
humidity weakening an adhesive joint which then fails the shock test. You
wouldn't see a failure if you tested 10 devices for high humidity and
another 10 for shock.
I'd be interested in some opinions or some literature references which
discuss this issue.
Regards,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1). Most stencil manufacturers can produce a stencil with a tolerance of
less than 0.5mil, but only if you work from electronic data. So if tolerance
is important, don't send a film and a sketch to a stencil manufacturer ---
send them an electronic file (Gerber 274X is the preferred format, other
formats can be used) showing the apertures you want. You can send a separate
electronic drawing file of the step-and-repeat data, etc. If you do send a
film and sketches, be prepared for some loss in accuracy.
2). Most stencil manufacturers (including A-Laser, ooooops no plugs.) have a
website where you can find an order form which includes almost all the
questions they may want to ask you.
3). That depends mostly on YOUR ISO document. What does it say you need to
do? If it says that you have to verify that your supplier can supply you
with good stencils, go try out the supplier.
4). Ehhh, may be I should pass on this one, but I can give you some
suggestions by phone.

Primary advantage is that there will be no silver leaching from the plating
on components which are susceptible.
Secondary advantage is the softening of the melt point which can help with
tombstoning of 0402 and maybe even 0201 capacitors.
Primary disadvantage is the increased cost due to the silver content. 2%,
and 0.5% are two commonly seen percentages in the alloys out there in
production.

To All
I have a question about what is used as a reference designator for a
mechanical part that is added to the PCB during the assembly process and
is not a post soldering process. This part is a mechanical part that is
soldered to the PCB as a keying feature. Similar to a 7343 part. What do
you use to denote this type of part?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

What will be the price difference (in %) between 2 layer boards and 4
layer boards using Roger's material? Both are impedance control boards.
4 layers board is 62 thick while 2 layers board is 25 mil thick. The
size of the board is 3"X5" for both layer counts.
I know it will be a volume specific so let's assume 100, 500 & 1000

hi,
i'll take a run at this. we don't use a reference designator for purely mechanical parts. they are identified on drawings with a 'find no.' (ie a reference to a parts list). reference designators are associated with schematics, among a lot of other things. they are put on assemblies to assist electronic types in troubleshooting assemblies. mechanical parts are not all that important to them.
a caveat for my response is that i don't consider connectors to be a mechanical part. if you do, then go to an ansi document and look up the reference designator for them (eg j1-e).
so, this is a long way to say that i've never seen reference designators assigned to mechanical parts. of course that doesn't mean they aren't.

I have a question about what is used as a reference designator for a
mechanical part that is added to the PCB during the assembly process and
is not a post soldering process. This part is a mechanical part that is
soldered to the PCB as a keying feature. Similar to a 7343 part. What do
you use to denote this type of part?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Steve,
I would like to hear the pad layout specifics since I have an assignment to
generate recommended PCB layouts for all of our package styles. We plan to
publish them on our web site so I would really like the most technically
accurate design possible.
Thanks,
Dan

Twin-Cone, fine wire abrasive stripping is done routinely on our magnet wire
which has a thin film of insulation. It may work on yours as well.

Phil,
The simplest method is to dip the wire in a solder pot (~500=B0F, =
260=B0C).
This removes the coating and tins the wire at the same time. Most=20
polyurethanes and nylon coatings are in thermal classes of 105=B0C, =
130=B0C,
155=B0C and 180=B0C which should be removable while immersed in molten =
solder.
The dwell time will be significantly longer than what is used to tin
temperature sensitive components.
Another method is thermal strippers.
The least favorite and hardest to control is abrasion using an exacto =
knife.

It is not so much that "Just In Time" gives you all these wonderful
benefits, but if you implement JIT without dedication, functionality,
management backing, strong focus, DFM/CE orientation, using rules and
keeping track of quality you will GENERATE an awful lot of waste in machine
and people time, sitting and waiting for usable parts to show up.
In JIT you only should now be receiving the parts you now need, no spares,
no parts for next week --- so if there is a problem with the parts you are
down. Therefore everybody (hopefully) has a very good reason to do it right
the first time.
Have fun,
Ahne.

Paul,
For what its worth I have seen certain mechanical part with ref deg's. Most
notably HS for heat sinks, critical if not installed. These were usually
noted on the schematic and appeared on the silk screen. I have also seen ref
degs on silk screens when stand offs of different lengths were installed on
the same PCB. I think what I'm getting at is standards are fine but we do
what we have to get repeatability out of our process.

Subject: Flipfet devices
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello Technetters,
We have been asked to produce circuit boards with solder resist defined
pads for flipfet devices. The pads are 10 mil in diameter and are
finished with electroless nickel gold. No solder resist thickness has
been specified. We are told that ultimately 5 mil pads will be called
for. My gut feeling is that it will be difficult to solder to the pads
due to the solder being unable to deform round the solder resist into
the hole.
My questions are: -
Are my concerns justified?
Is it usual to have soplder resist defined pads this small?
What solder resist thickness should be specified?
Would an alternative finish be appropriate?
Thanks in advance
Roger Hammond.

In a word; yes. Your concerns are justified. Here's a good *.PDF file that
addresses the assembly of Flipfet devices, it's at:
http://www.eetasia.com/ART_8800066987_499505,499512.HTM
Soldermask defined pads are less reliable than non-soldermask defined pads,
and using ENIG finish, gold embrittlement could be a concern with solder
joints that small...

Good day,
Did you come across with these defect terms - Manhattan and
Billboard ? If yes do you know what is the meaning?
I assume that Manhattan means either a lot of tombstoned parts on
PCB , right up.
Billboard?
Please can you explain the meaning ?
Thank you
Regards
Vit Sklenar MGE4VS

Well, neither Coffin-Manson Law and the Engelmaier (Sir Werner's) equation
would suggest more solder joint volume, only taller solder joints.

This "bulbous" SJ idea did not work very well, as the results provided by
Martin-Marietta during the Industry Days of this Air force clearly showed. In
order to bring any improvement at all, it was necessary that all four sides
of the LLCCCs had identical SJs in terms of their geometry--something that
proved hard to do.

Hi Eric,
You are right. Parallel and sequential testing will likely produce different
results...BUT there are big problems. They are primarily related to how the
results can be extrapolated to product reliability.
For instance, you will get dramatically different results if you first
T-cycle solder joints and than vibration load them or the other way around.
So, you really need to think carefully about what it is you REALLY are trying
to accomplish.

My prod floor used to HALT specific models (scrap) without warning, to
confirm process. Repeating material/process related quality, off the line
occasionally, makes sense.
Doing full/combined test on fewer numbers is more effective.

Hi Vit!
I've never heard the term "Manhattan", but I think it is the same as a
"Drawbridge" which means that the part (normally passives) aren't quite
"Tombstoned" but have lifted one termination enough to cause a open solder
connection.
"Billboards" are passive components that have been placed on edge, resembling
a Billboard, instead of laying flat on the pads, the component is on edge,
90-degrees from what is supposed to be...that is rooted in the placement
process.

Vit,
I'm unsure about a Manhattan, but a billboarded part is typically an SMT
chip component that is soldered to both pads, yet its orientation is
vertical rather than horizontal.
Hope this helps...

Eric,
Opinion: I'm with you in that each part must go through all the tests for
the very reasons you mention. In operation, the parts will be meeting (or
should be meeting, if the tests have been chosen correctly), ALL the
conditions you are qualifying your product to, not just one or some.
Since your customer is requiring sequential testing, that is what you have
to provide or you fail to meet their requirements. What you get then is an
unhappy customer and a lot of wasted time conducting the wrong type of
testing. I can understand your opposition's desire to conduct parallel
testing - 1) it greatly reduces the development time and 2) you stand a
greater chance of passing individual tests, which always looks good on
paper, but when you start getting a load of field failures, how good will
it look then in practice?
I can't offer any literature references on the subject, but I would have
thought common sense and a sense of the company's reputation (damage
thereto) would prevail, even with the most ardent cost-cutter. If you trash
your reputation by not following customer requiremetns and not properly
qualifying your product, how much business do you hope to secure in the
future? ["You" does not mean you personally, of course.]
Good luck with the fight.

Fellow Technetters,
I'm in the middle of a 'frank and forthright' discussion at the moment on
whether it is possible to justify substituting a set of environmental
tests carried out in parallel on a device i.e.. 10 devices go through
vibration, another 10 go through high temp operating etc... for a customer
requirement for sequential testing i.e. take 10 devices and put them
through all the tests.
I'm of the opinion that even if you up the severity of each parallel test
it still isn't the same as a sequential test because you won't catch the
failure mechanisms that results from a combination of effects e.g.. high
humidity weakening an adhesive joint which then fails the shock test. You
wouldn't see a failure if you tested 10 devices for high humidity and
another 10 for shock.
I'd be interested in some opinions or some literature references which
discuss this issue.
Regards,

Hi, Ioan,
I'm no EE, either - just a confirmed ME, but from the experience I've had,
via hole diameter is dependant on 3 things: 1) current-carrying needs, 2)
board thickness and 3) plating thickness.
1) If you know the power that the via hole has to carry, you can determine
the cross-sectional area of the copper plating you need in the hole.
2) Adequate plating inside a hole depends partly on the plating process
capability of your fab house and partly on the hole's aspect ratio
(diameter to depth). Ask your fab house what their minimum hole diameter
and aspect ratio is for achieving even plating thickness down the hole.
From the thickness of your board, you can then determine whether you can
use the minimum hole diameter as a baseline or diameter based on aspect
ratio as a baseline.
3) Once you also know from your fab house the minimum hole plating
thickness they can achieve, you have all the information you need to
determine your finished hole sizes. Knowing the plating thickness and the
X-sectional area of copper you need, you can simply calculate the length of
copper required, which, of course will be the same as finished
circumference of your finished hole. Divide it by Pi and you have the
diameter. Obviously if your calculations come up with a hole diameter
smaller than you fab house's minimum or, likewise, too large an aspect
ratio, increasing the hole diameter won't do any harm - it only adds a
margin of safety (which you should do yourself in any case).
There is no maximum plating thickness, but bear in mind that you often get
thicker plating on the board outer surfaces than you get in the holes. You
don't want it to get too thick, or you run into over-etching problems,
uneven coverage, etc., etc. You're safe enough with assuming a 1/2 oz (0.7
mils) min hole plating thickness for your calculations.
Conversely, for the future, you can work out that if the current carrying
requirements of a via are less than a certain value, you don't need to
calculate hole diameters, since your fab house's minimum size will cope
with it.

Hi technos,
first I want to say to the Moonman "got your lean thing, as well as all the
other documents you put there. Big thanks to you and Seth".
Now, my question to the forum is: what are the rules in determining the
diameter of vias? Has it anything to do with the current or the power? Can
a
power supply board, stepping down from 600V to 220V, have 0.018" vias?
I know it sounds trivial, but I'm no EE.
Thanks,
Ioan

Stencil data is output as part of the Gerber data that defines the PCB
itself. You will additionally need to specify the stencil thickness (or
thicknesses if you need a stepped stencil), whether you want it made by
etching or laser cutting, what side angles you want on the apertures as a
lead in to minimise solder paste sticking in the stencil, and maybe a
stencil number and revision to be etched onto its surface.
To control it, you add a note to your assembly drawing to state the stencil
number and revision to be used to screen paste onto the board.
Supplying an artwork won't do, as it's imprecise as far as accurate data is
concerned (subject to physical damage, expansion/contraction, etc) and
it's non-modifiable without a replacement artwork. Gerber data is what's
required.
Can't recommend a stencil manufacturer that's useful to you, as I'm in
Singapore. While we have quite a good one that our CM uses, it's maybe a
bit far away for you.

I need some information I hope you can supply:
1) What do I need to supply a stencil manufacturer to get a stencil made?
Will a 1:1 artwork of the pads and an array drawing suffice?
2) How do I document that information? Stencil Drawing? Work sheet? Other?
3) How should I control it so that I meet ISO?
4) Any recommendations on stencil manufacturers?

Phil,
The simplest method is to dip the wire in a solder pot (~500°F, 260°C).
This removes the coating and tins the wire at the same time. Most
polyurethanes and nylon coatings are in thermal classes of 105°C, 130°C,
155°C and 180°C which should be removable while immersed in molten solder.
The dwell time will be significantly longer than what is used to tin
temperature sensitive components.
Another method is thermal strippers.
The least favorite and hardest to control is abrasion using an exacto knife.

Anyone have a reliable safe method of removing the polyurethane and nylon
coating that protects magnet wire so that the wire can be used to solder as
a jumper wire. I remember using a hot chemical salt type stripping bath
many years ago but was hoping that someone has found a better way to do
this since then.

Just as a basic thought: It is not the goal of a test to be as severe as =
possible but to proof that a product/process meets the requirements. To do =
so, the tests performed have to be chosen carefully and designed to show =
any week points but not to wreck the specimen on any account.
Now, you talk about different philosophies and different goals:
- Parallel testing:=20
The idea of sequential testing is to find the answer of a specimen on a =
particular stress. There is no sense in starting combined tests is one =
doesn't know how an item to be tested reacts if it is exposed to let's say =
high temperature.
- Sequential testing:=20
As I get it, you want to evaluate the effects of combined environmental =
stress on a specimen by exposing the specimen to the stresses one after =
the other. See, as soon as you get into combined testing the whole thing =
gets quite complex. Your thought is right, if the stresses do occur one =
after the other. One example is the degradation of roads due to frost. =
Firstly water penetrates into small cavities of the surface. When freezing =
the water expands breaking pieces out of the road. However, if the =
combined stress occurs simultaneously the attempt to simulate their =
combined effect by sequential testing seems fruitless to me. Just as an =
example for this thought we can take diffusion. As you know, diffusion =
through a membrane is driven by the temperature and by the difference of =
the concentration of a certain substance on both sides of the membrane. =
High temperature accelerates diffusion and so does a large difference in =
concentration. According to your thought one could theoretically perform a =
test where a specimen is firstly exposed to an environment with high =
temperature and a low difference in concentration dC ( or even worse not =
caring for the dC) and then making a test with the same specimen where it =
is exposed to a high dC with low Temperature (or similarly to above not =
caring for the temperature). As you see clearly, this test is absolutely =
meaningless when it comes to find the effect of the combination of temp. =
and dC. If you want to find that you have to run tests where the dC and =
the high temperature occur together.
I think I mentioned this earlier. Designing sensible tests is a difficult =
business and requires a lot of knowledge of physics of failure and =
incorporates some math. To learn about the mathematical part read =
Montgomerys "Design and Analysis of Experiments". For the physics of =
failure part I am afraid you have to go through some literature dealing =
with physics, failure analysis and material science.

Guenter et al,
Thanks for the input.
The point of environmental testing - in this instance - is to demonstrate=
that the product is fit for service in the environment the product will =
operate in for the lifetime of that product.
In my view parallel testing will demonstrate that a product can or cannot=
withstand a single type of 'stress'. This is useful and of course gives =
an insight into fundamental properties of some aspect of the design. Howe=
ver in real life a product is subjected to many 'stresses' at the same ti=
me and parallel testing will never test for this. Therefore parallel test=
ing may tell you that a product is unfit for service but will never tell =
you that it definitely is. My view is that it is useful as a precursor to=
sequential testing.
It would probably be best if one could apply a lot of 'stresses' simultan=
eously but that is generally impractical. So one is left with sequential =
testing. Yes, it is probably impossible to devise a test spec that will c=
over every possible failure mode. However to say it is therefore not wort=
h doing is like saying half a loaf is no better than no loaf at all. It s=
eems to me that careful consideration of standard test specs e.g. EN 6006=
8 which are based on an accumulation of experience combined with one's ow=
n specific product knowledge should result in the best qualification prog=
ramme.

Hi Richard,

solder joint metallurgically....
Yes, this was a bit of red herring in the early 80's. Faster cooling produces
finer grained solder joints which in accelerated testing show about a factor
of 2 longer life. Unfortunately, the grain structure of solder coarsens with
time and temperature and after one year on the shelf you cannot tell the
difference. That is why both IPC-SM-785 and IPC-9701 strongly recommend
artificial aging to coarsen the solder grain structure prior to T-cycling to
prevent unrealistic high test results.

Subject: ENIG black pad issues
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
We have used ENIG as our primary BGA board finish for many many, many
boards built for cellular communications without issues regarding this problem.
We have a major PWB fabricator telling us that they cannot control what
appears to be a "black pad" problem and that we should be changing to
Entek's OSP combined with a selective gold process for our standard finish.
I cannot say that we have never had this problem before but usually it was
more a case of unrinsed soldermask on a pad rather than corroded nickel
plating beneath the gold finish.
I did the cross sectioning myself and took some great pictures of the
contaminated pad surfaces that were yielding when subjected to drop testing.
I am convinced that ENIG is a solid finish but I know that it can be
susceptible to nickel wetting problems. I have three questions:
1) What kind of frequency are the rest of you finding "black pad" to occur
on ENIG boards?
2) What finish do you use for high density BGA/CSP double sided boards
that have surface contact (gold) plating requirements?
3) Are any of you using underfill to hopefully negate the solder joint
brittleness that the black pad surface inherently creates?

Been down this path many times. It has twist and turns not conducive to high

Not trying to seem harsh, but I don't used suppliers who cannot prove they
have this problem licked. If you look at Proto Engineering's web site you'll
see they have a plant tour. About two thirds of the way through it, you'll
see how they ensure black pad defects are eliminated.
I use about 6 shops around the country. I have qualified them all to ensure
all processes are effectively managed. I have only had one occurence of
black pad with one of them in the early days of enig.
The enig process is capable of being very well managed and over the past
three years most everyone has caught on how to do it.
So my answer to your question lies above.

Hi Phil,
A good article just came out addressing "black pad".
Might want to read it.
www.pcfab.com/db_area/archive/2002/0202/cullen.html
Sounds like your vendor has a process control issue. Or solder mask issues.
We have over 20 boards with BGA's and CSP's and have not had any issues with
black pad.
We do not underfill.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [TN] ENIG black pad issues
We have used ENIG as our primary BGA board finish for many many, many
boards built for cellular communications without issues regarding this
problem.
We have a major PWB fabricator telling us that they cannot control what
appears to be a "black pad" problem and that we should be changing to
Entek's OSP combined with a selective gold process for our standard finish.
I cannot say that we have never had this problem before but usually it was
more a case of unrinsed soldermask on a pad rather than corroded nickel
plating beneath the gold finish.
I did the cross sectioning myself and took some great pictures of the
contaminated pad surfaces that were yielding when subjected to drop testing.
I am convinced that ENIG is a solid finish but I know that it can be
susceptible to nickel wetting problems. I have three questions:
1) What kind of frequency are the rest of you finding "black pad" to occur
on ENIG boards?
2) What finish do you use for high density BGA/CSP double sided boards
that have surface contact (gold) plating requirements?
3) Are any of you using underfill to hopefully negate the solder joint
brittleness that the black pad surface inherently creates?

Morning Olivia,
Back in my mil-spec days we had a requirement for periodic re-certification. This training was done in house and consisted of reviewing accept/reject criteria with the operator (the theoretical part). Followed by assembly of a practice/test part (the practical part). The assembly was then sent through normal QC inspection, if the assembly passed the operator got their cert.
For this to work we had to have a mil spec certified trainer in house. This lucky individual was rewarded with periodic trips to China Lake to maintain *their* certification. Should be a lot simpler now a days.
Hope you find this helpful,
Dan

Subject: hole not to spec for compliant pins
To all,
I have a test board, that is gold over nickel, and .200 thick.
The problem I have is that the holes for the compliant pins should
have been drill at .045, and plated down to .040. The holes however
have finished at .045. (hole count is 1456)
The range that the assembly house can live with is .040 +/-.003.
I would have to somehow replate the barrels of the holes
with a minimum of .001-.002 mils to get within the compliant pin spec.
Soldering the pins in, is not an option.
If anyone has seen this problem before, could you please respond ASAP, with
any possible solutions, or the name of someone who might be able to fix
these boards.
Thank you,

Those are the best examples of dendritic growth as I've ever seen! Where

Hi Steve,
Thanks for offering to post my pictures of the dendritic growth. It
will
be interesting to see what the consensus is although since I sent the
email
out I have been able to get my hands on the defect and take a close
enough
look to answer the question. Let's put the picture up and see what the
responses are.

Hi Phil,
I can only comment on the last of your questions from a laboratory failure
analysis viewpoint. We have one customer whose PCB assemblies exhibited the
"black pad" separations on a BGA component. They thought that underfilling
the BGA would help hold the solder balls onto the board, but cross-sections
after the underfill process showed that the balls separated anyway. I don't
know if would happen with every type of underfill process, but it did not
seem to have a positve effect for this customer.

Those are gorgeous!!
The only time that I remember battling dendrites like that was on a high
voltage divider resistor. The problem occured only in the areas where the
volts/m where high. Sorry, but I dont remember the numbers anymore. So I am
curious about the field strength across this area. I ended up covering the
resistor with thick layer of a low dielectric constant material that adhered
very well to the surface of the resistor (plasma cleaning before applying!).
The electric field is going to concentrate itself in the material with the
lowest dielectric constant. So if that is represented by small crosssection,
you will find a very high field strength in that location and therefore a
strong tendency to grow dendrites there. That is also why I expect that by
far most of your samples have dendrites growing starting in the narrow spots
in the middle of the part (capacitor?, high voltage?, short distance?).
Any more details available?
Ahne.

GREAT pictures.
Now the what (chip caps/resistors and size), where, when, how long, and
voltage levels would be VERY nice!

Hi Techneters,
please, can somebody help me to find manufacturer of TO220 power transistors
and their equivalents - I, so far, can not find any reference either to
manufacturer ( Korea ) or type:
40871 NPN
40872 PNP
mnfr abbreviation is SM.
Thank you
Vit

These are RCA part numbers that were discontinued when the company was
bought by Harris(GE).
100V 7A 40W switching transistors in ~TO220, (not particularly fast).
Try TIP41C, TIP42C originally from TI, but produced now as commodity parts.

Great Pictures
I would like to know the ionic cleanliness by Ion Chromatography of the parts
and flux residues. We have seen similar dendritic growth due to the
component cleanliness, as well as, the cleanliness of the assembly.

Terry,
I'm sure you didn't see dendrites because of component/assembly
cleanliness, but rather lack thereof!!! :-)
Best regards,

Subject: Request for ENIG finish primer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
For many years I have followed the various threads concerning ENIG finish on
PCB's and have only casually followed them enough to know just a little.
Without clogging the net with a set of questions, does anyone know of a
website or texts that represents a primer about the finish? I guess I'm
looking for real basic stuff here, things like when to use it, when not to
use it, pros and cons, process concerns, can it be selectively placed on
circuit boards, etc. and so on and so forth.
Any and all responses will be appreciated.

Hi, Phil,
1) I haven't had enough board volume to give you much of a feel for black
pad occurance, because we've only had about 40 ENIG boards made so far, but
with no problem. Some are well over a year old now and still solder well.
2) Pass - haven't had such a requirement yet.
3) I prescribed underfill for our 21mm sq CBGA and 35mm sq PBGA and several
other types as well - all 1.0 or 1.27mm pitch. The very first ENIG boards
we had with BGA's mounted were designed and assembled for us in the US
(we're in Singapore), and they failed miserably the first time they were
put into any level of vibration. The problem was very poor-looking assembly
processes - balls looked dry-jointed, very coarse with a lot of striations,
different shapes and sizes.
I had 3 more assembled locally, keeping a close eye on all the processes
used, and we got 3 good-looking boards. As a precaution (or extra
insurance), I opted to underfill them as well. The boards are military
avionics boards, subjected to all manner of TC and vibration, so I felt the
extra process was probably worthwhile. I chose a capillary-action type
underfill that is a) reworkable and b) doesn't limit me to the fluxes
contained in the 'no-flow' type of underfill that is applied to the BGA's
prior to assembly and tends not to be reworkable. So far, these new boards
have passed all the tests required of them.
Underfilling is reckoned to improve the reliability of BGA solder joints
under conditions of temperature cycling and vibration by a factor between 3
and 5 times that of joints with no underfill by helping to dissipate the
stresses built up in the joints through CTE mismatches during thermal
cycling, and through vibration. I should say that underfilling won't help
offset the effects of Black Pad and shouldn't be expected to. With Black
Pad, you won't have much of a solder joint, if any, to support with
underfill, and the more brittle nature of the oxidised Nickel plating won't
be made any less brittle with underfill either. Underfilling is intended to
further support good joints on a stable surface against the conditions
mentioned above. I'ld get your boards made right, rather than putting
sticking plasters over damage (if that's what you're [contemplating]
doing).
Hope this helps a bit with whatever you're looking into.

We have used ENIG as our primary BGA board finish for many many, many
boards built for cellular communications without issues regarding this
problem.
We have a major PWB fabricator telling us that they cannot control what
appears to be a "black pad" problem and that we should be changing to
Entek's OSP combined with a selective gold process for our standard finish.
I cannot say that we have never had this problem before but usually it was
more a case of unrinsed soldermask on a pad rather than corroded nickel
plating beneath the gold finish.
I did the cross sectioning myself and took some great pictures of the
contaminated pad surfaces that were yielding when subjected to drop
testing.
I am convinced that ENIG is a solid finish but I know that it can be
susceptible to nickel wetting problems. I have three questions:
1) What kind of frequency are the rest of you finding "black pad" to occur
on ENIG boards?
2) What finish do you use for high density BGA/CSP double sided boards
that have surface contact (gold) plating requirements?
3) Are any of you using underfill to hopefully negate the solder joint
brittleness that the black pad surface inherently creates?

Hi, Steve,
Just tried looking up your site to see these beautiful dendrite pictures,
but found you have a bully muscling in on your link. Instead of getting to
your site I was beamed off to http://www.megago.com/l/, who then asked me
if I wanted to make them my home page. S.. Off! I thought, but I had to
type your site address manually to get to the pictures.
Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Phil!
The pictures are up! Go to:
http://www.stevezeva.homstead.com
Those are the best examples of dendritic growth as I've ever seen! Where
did this take place? In a SIR chamber?
-Steve Gregory-
Hi Steve,
Thanks for offering to post my pictures of the dendritic growth. It will
be interesting to see what the consensus is although since I sent the
email
out I have been able to get my hands on the defect and take a close enough
look to answer the question. Let's put the picture up and see what the
responses are.

I once read that one of the possible causes of Black Pad was an electrical
imbalance in the plating baths, though that hypothesis was pooh-poohed by
many, because the plating processes are electroless. There are different
metals involved, though, and it's quite possible that some kind of battery
effect is created. If these effects aren't balanced, either in the design
or in the plating process, and it is a cause of Black Pad .....
The question is then, how does one determine if a design is appropriate for
ENIG finishing or not? Or another question is, how to tailor the plating
process for particular design features. It would be interesting to know if
the Fab House who passed this story on to you, Kathy, knows if the black
pad occured in the same area(s) of the boards each time or more randomly.
Also if the board design had anything apparently unusual about it.
A nice thesis for some PhD student!

I had spoken to a PCB supplier FAE a couple of weeks back and he was
mentioning that awhile ago he knew of a situation where a PCB had a problem
with black pad and the customer thought it was poor supplier process
control. But when the product was moved to a PCB house that had been doing
this finish and had never had black pad before tried to build these same
PCB's now had a black pad problem. If this is the case then couldn't black
pad be tried back to a design and process mismatch? Anyone else know of
any further such stories? Is this a possibility?

I think the problem is that you used the mis-typed URL in Steve's first
message, and not the correction that he posted a bit later, which was to
http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com - this works for me, whilst I agree that
megago seem to have beamed in on the 'homstead' version.

For those who, like me, made the side trip to Megago.com, look at the
spelling in the link. Steve misspelled "homestead". Correct the spelling
and you go right to Steve's page.

Sunny asks:
I'd like to know which type of Ion Chromatography can measure the local
dot ionic cleanliness. Anyone can tell me which company produce this
equipment?
Doug Pauls responds:
No company that I know of builds ion chromatography equipment to do spot
ionic checks. IC equipment merely analyzes extract solutions. If you want
to measure localized ion concentrations, you have to develop a localized
extraction technique. This might involve immersion of a portion of the
assembly in extract solution, or building some time of non-contaminating
enclosure around the area to be extracted. Once you can localize the
extraction, collect the solution an analyze it with the IC equipment

Bill,
Do you have a copy of the IPC-4552 Proposal on Electroless Nickel/immersion
Gold plating? The committee head is George Milad. You can reach him at
"[log in to unmask] (George Milad)" I think the document is in interim final
status, but maybe it is ready for publication. George can send you a copy,
or tell you if you can get a copy at "TechDoc" on the ipc server.

OK, here is the background on this particular dendrite growth:
It is a field failure unit and upon closer inspection, this dendrite
follows a crack in the capacitor from one termination to the other. In my
opinion, the crack was there first, and was filled with contaminated
moisture while the cap had battery voltage (5V) across it, causing the near
perfect dendrite to form along the walls of the crevice.
This CCA was produced on our no clean assembly line, of which the
cleanliness is monitored on each lot of boards produced. We believe that
the solder flux residues are not related to this defect. The soldering
residues do not migrate to this area of the capacitor.
The condensation moisture alone would not seem to be enough to have
generated this dendritic growth so we are investigating other possible
contamination that may have been present such as moisture dripping off of a
dirty shelf above, and also the component cleanliness itself. If the crack
was there from the beginning then the contamination could have been as well.
We have seen shorts across this capacitor before but usually only as random
faint carbon tracks that are nowhere as defined as this one was.
This one is so perfect, it almost looks like an organic plant like a small
fern.
This is an ongoing investigation so all comments are welcome and I will
provide an update at some point in the future.

Subject: Solder Spatter
I am looking for some help concerning solder spatter. I manufacture
ceramic hybrids that have gold plated terminal blocks (50 mil square)
placed near the edge of the hybrid. We contiually see solder spatter
randomly located on the top of the blocks at at yield hit of anywhere from
2 to 30 percent. We have set our oven profile such that there is the
minimum amount of preheat ramp, and we reflow in air. Could anyone provide
some help on how to deal with this? Any good resources for information,
abstracts, etc. that would help out?

Subject: Upper and lower specification limits
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
Dear All,
For a stencil of 5 mils, how does one arrive at the upper and lower
specification limits (USL and LSL) of the solder paste to be deposited? I
have read papers on stencil printing that have used the USL and LSL for
arriving at a stable process. Are there any industry standards to arrive at
the USL or LSL or these values have been arrived at based on experience?
Thanks and have a nice day.

Phil,
Do the photos show the top side of the capacitor or the bottom side
after it was removed? Do you know what cracked the capacitor? My first
reaction is that I think I'd be more concerned about the crack than the
dendrites.

Phil,
I assume that CCA stands for Conformally Coated Assembly. If so what chemical family did the coating
fall into (acrylic, urethane, etc...)
How long was this device "in the field" and how much exposure did it receive to humidity above 80%?
BTW those "faint carbon tracks" are usually all that left when the dendrite vaporizes due to current
flow.
I will send you a copy of my paper "Avionics Systems, Reliability, and Harsh Environments". it should
provide some useful info for your investigation.

Hi Phil! Good summary! I have been through this issue on a couple of
projects. Use a SEM and confirm what elements comprise the dendrite. Under
typical conditions there is usually not enough ionics running around on an
adequately cleaned assembly to promote the electromigration of the tin/lead
capacitor metallization. However, there will be enough ionic material
present on the assembly to form dendrites provided you: have condensation
moisture, an electrical bias (5 volts is enough) AND there is access to
the silver/palladium capacitor end cap metallization. The crack could
provide access to the Ag/Pd metallization (many capacitors have a Ag/Pd
metallization layer as part of the end cap finish stackup) - Ag is a much
more "migratory" metal than tin or lead. If the dendrite is comprised
mainly of tin/lead then you have more ionic contamination than you think,
if the dendrite is comprised of mainly Ag/Pd then time to stop getting
components with cracks. And if its neither of those two possibilities I'll
have to go get another Coke and really do some brainstorming. Good Luck.

Subject: Re: [TN] Dendritic Growth...
OK, here is the background on this particular dendrite growth:
It is a field failure unit and upon closer inspection, this dendrite
follows a crack in the capacitor from one termination to the other. In my
opinion, the crack was there first, and was filled with contaminated
moisture while the cap had battery voltage (5V) across it, causing the near
perfect dendrite to form along the walls of the crevice.
This CCA was produced on our no clean assembly line, of which the
cleanliness is monitored on each lot of boards produced. We believe that
the solder flux residues are not related to this defect. The soldering
residues do not migrate to this area of the capacitor.
The condensation moisture alone would not seem to be enough to have
generated this dendritic growth so we are investigating other possible
contamination that may have been present such as moisture dripping off of a
dirty shelf above, and also the component cleanliness itself. If the crack
was there from the beginning then the contamination could have been as
well.
We have seen shorts across this capacitor before but usually only as random
faint carbon tracks that are nowhere as defined as this one was.
This one is so perfect, it almost looks like an organic plant like a small
fern.
This is an ongoing investigation so all comments are welcome and I will
provide an update at some point in the future.

Mark,
I know of no written resources about this, but I would recommend an extra
thorough cleaning of your reflow oven. It could be that what you are
getting is the redistribution of "captive" solder balls that have been
hanging around inside your oven. I wouldn't fool around with the reflow
profiles too much without first talking to your paste vendor.

I am looking for some help concerning solder spatter. I manufacture
ceramic hybrids that have gold plated terminal blocks (50 mil square)
placed near the edge of the hybrid. We contiually see solder spatter
randomly located on the top of the blocks at at yield hit of anywhere from
2 to 30 percent. We have set our oven profile such that there is the
minimum amount of preheat ramp, and we reflow in air. Could anyone provide
some help on how to deal with this? Any good resources for information,

There are other issues as well. One very important is flux residue
entrapment in the overhead escape route to the vents. If excess residue
build up is apparent (several ways to determine) severe problems and effects
will present themselves as solder balling and poor solder joint formation.

Doug,

assembly. Acronym overdose!
How long was this device "in the field" and how much exposure did it
receive to humidity above 80%?
*I seriously doubt this information would be recorded or known. Most units

Phil describes a possible "sheltered outdoor" enclosed unit. I wanted to use the ISO 9223 chart (see
below) to get an idea of the
type and duration of the environmental exposure. The possibility of dripping water from a rack above
indicates very high
humidity/condensation or a serious leakage problem.

Subject: Intermetallic thickness
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I'm looking for information on intermetallic growth, for a good solder
joint, what is acceptable and what is unacceptable as being too low or too
high.
As far as I know, it depends on the elements and thermal cycles.
Assume: Cu-Sn63Pb37 and NiAu-Sn63Pb37,
90 seconds in liquidus, 2 thermal cycles.
How does the intermetallic thickness change if I had to change the paste
from eutectic to Ag2-Sn-Pb? (not even to mention lead-free paste)
Is there any formula that can help in undestanding what would be the
intermetallic thickness if I had to undergo another thermal cycle, or if I
had to change the liquidus time on my oven profile?
Any information will be very welcome.
Thanks,
Ivanoe

I am not aware of any tools, of the type you describe, that meet your
requirements. I think you would be able to find solder extractors by Pace,
Metcal, Air Vac, Hako and Ersa (to name a few) that would meet your
requirements but they are not the simple mechanical design you are seeking.

More thinking produced this line of reasoning.
The act of triggering a device like the one you describe will generate an
electro-static charge. The problem is how to move the charge away from the
tip as it is generated.
I think you would have to ground the tool. If the case of the tool is
conductive and the tip is connected to the case, it should be possible to
ground the tool.
You should be able to check the tool using the same tool you use to check
voltage transients on the tip of your soldering Iron.
Good luck.

X-To: Guenter Grossmann <[log in to unmask]>
I've been reading IPC-D-279 with great interest. However, I get a little
more confused about thick IMC layers especially after reading the following:
IPC-D-279
A-3.3 CAVEAT 1 ? SOLDER JOINT QUALITY
The solder joint fatigue behavior and the resulting reliability prediction
equations. Eqs. A-1 through A-2, were determined from thermal cycling
results of solder joints that failed as a result of fracture of the solder,
albeit sometimes close to the IMC layers. For solder joints for which
layered structures are interposed between the base material and the solder
joints, these equations could be optimistic upper bounds if the interposed
layered structures become the ?weakest link? in the surface mount solder
attachments. Such layered structures could be: metallization layers that
have weak bonds to the underlying base material, or are weak themselves, or
dissolve essentially completely in the solder; oxide or contamination layers
preventing a proper metallurgical bond of the solder to the underlying
metal; brittle IMC layers TOO THICK due to too many or improperly long high
temperature processing steps.
Guenter, I'm sure you, Werner, and Dave H. and all others on this planet can
end my pain. I'm talking, of course, about the last, very long paragraph in
the caveat.

Subject: input on pressing cPCI connectors
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
We have recently designed a 6U board that has the J1 & J2 compact PCI
connectors on it. I used the manufacturers spec for the hole sizes and the
board shop fabricated within the tolerance and specification. The problem
is we can not get the connectors to actually press into the holes.
I would appreciate input from anyone who has some experience with these
connectors!
My understanding of the press tool was that it was nothing other than a
flat piece of metal in a bench press. Is that correct?
What finished hole sizes are being used? With all manufacturers? I have
noticed some dimensional differences in the drawings between Erni & FCI/Berg.
Can anyone give me an idea of what the press tools actually look like?

Hi,
We just received a new rev of a PWB in house. It has not been populated
yet. It looks like it has been built correctly - the right layer order,
connections, etc - but it looks different than the rest of our 4 layer
boards. Normally the traces on the inner layer that is closest to the
surface appear dark in colour and the deeper layer appears lighter. This
board is the opposite. The layer closest to the surface is light in colour
and the deeper layer is dark. Also, the FR4 seems much easier to see
through than usual.
Any thoughts or explanations for this?
Thanks for your time.

Hi, I have not used the forum before but am currently at the centre of an
internal company clash, and would appreciate any help on the issue below.
My problem involves In Circuit Test ;-
Our Logistics department here (which includes production, test and
deployment) are demanding quite strongly that ICT be done on each PWB we
design, and that every signal and every component value be tested, i.e. =
100%
test point access on traces (even N/Cs).
The Engineers are not quite so keen as most have used JTAG and Boundary =
scan
etc to evaluate the devices they deem critical. They are also worried (and
rightly so) about the effect that test points may have on traces with
controlled impedance, or those on critical timing paths, but are not =
adverse
to giving test point access where possible and where the design will not =
be
affected.
The boards we design here are also very complex, we mount SMDs on both =
sides
and often have 10 or 12 copper layers in (usually) 1,6mm thick FR4, the
boards are also very dense with real estate at an absolute priority such
that we use the smallest devices available. Currently we have 0,8mm pitch
uBGAs whose routing must be resolved vertically, i.e. blind and buried =
vias,
with obvious drawbacks for ICT.
We have in the past used the Specctra autorouter to allocate test point
access but the best result so far is about 80% (of course I could use bad
placement to improve this!), and even here we used the smallest possible
access points 0.03" on the smallest possible grid 0.05". On some boards it
is below 50% access. Our usual via holes only have land of 0.024", so =
these
cannot be used.
I could of course try to manually allocate access points, by increasing =
via
land where appropriate, or thickening and exposing traces where possible =
and
deploying all other tricks I can, but the time and effort here would be
enormous, and other projects may suffer as a result.
Any advise or knowledge that can be offered here would be most welcome.
Is this problem common to other companies?
How is the Industry thinking about ICT at the moment?
Are there better autorouters?
Are there ICT houses that can use smaller nodes on tighter grids?
Is there new technology just around the corner?
Etc Etc.

Subject: [TN] input on pressing cPCI connectors
We have recently designed a 6U board that has the J1 & J2 compact PCI
connectors on it. I used the manufacturers spec for the hole sizes and the
board shop fabricated within the tolerance and specification. The problem
is we can not get the connectors to actually press into the holes.
I would appreciate input from anyone who has some experience with these
connectors!
My understanding of the press tool was that it was nothing other than a
flat piece of metal in a bench press. Is that correct?
What finished hole sizes are being used? With all manufacturers? I have
noticed some dimensional differences in the drawings between Erni &
FCI/Berg.
Can anyone give me an idea of what the press tools actually look like?

Hello Ginny:
I would suggest that the layer in question is not coated with oxide.
The next layer down (assuming it's a plane) did receive an oxide coat.

Hi everybody,
I was just approached by one of our engineers whose customer told her that
the Air Force has issued a directive disallowing the use of no-clean fluxes
on any of their hardware. The customer is flowing down that requirement to
us. Do any of you know of this directive or what they could be referring to?
Thanks,

Just depends on which layer you look at - one on the back of the top layer

Genny,
Sounds like your board supplier is using various types of materials and
processes if you are recieving boards from the same supplier. As you
explained
if your inner cores are lighter in color they probably used an oxide
replacement
or double treat copper which will not give you the "black oxide" or very
dark
coloration. If your traces on the outside appear darker they may have
switched
to an adhesion promoter for the soldermask, but usually you would not see
this unless the board has ENIG, white tin, or other aggresive finish which
do in fact
attack the mask.

I've found that the scrap developed in this sort of part is pointless if
wave soldering is required anyways. We used only two of the pins for
retention (recommended press-fit), allowing the wave to do the rest of the
work (oversize).
This was in higher power connector, where a damned worm-screw or vise was
necessary to get insertion half the time. Manual, expensive and error-prone.
Only really justified in no-solder assembly (wish on!).

Sometimes a change in oxide type or a switch to double treat will cause this
appearance. Ask your supplier.

Subject: [TN] The board looks funny...
Hi,
We just received a new rev of a PWB in house. It has not been populated
yet. It looks like it has been built correctly - the right layer order,
connections, etc - but it looks different than the rest of our 4 layer
boards. Normally the traces on the inner layer that is closest to the
surface appear dark in colour and the deeper layer appears lighter. This
board is the opposite. The layer closest to the surface is light in colour
and the deeper layer is dark. Also, the FR4 seems much easier to see
through than usual.
Any thoughts or explanations for this?
Thanks for your time.

That is kind of what I was wondering, Moonman.
Does it appear that our board manufacturers usually etch the copper on the
back of the top sheet of FR4, and instead this manufacturer etched it on the
top of the inner sheet of FR4, so we are seeing the other side of the
copper? As far as I figure, the layer spacing would be effectively the
same, so can anyone see any problems with one type of construction over the
other?
The deeper layer is dark like the close layer usually appears, so to me it
looks like the same processes were used but both inner layers were etched on
the inner sheet of FR4, versus etching them on the inside of the outer two
sheets.
Or, considering the other answer I received regarding no oxide coating, or
double treatment: are these bad things?
Thanks.

Just depends on which layer you look at - one on the back of the top layer
or one more down

It sounds like your PCB was built with two B stages with FR4 between the copper layers and the prepreg
between layers 2-3.
Similar to this Most 4-layers
1- cu 1- cu
FR-4 pre-preg
2- cu 2- cu
pre-preg Filler FR-4
3- cu 3 - cu

They may have also used double treat copper which would negate the use of an

Dee,
On some early designs done by one of our customers, they found similar
issues. Laying out the board for FCI wouldn't allow AMP connectors to
be pressed in. They ended up using the AMP layout and we haven't had
issues since. I believe AMP and ERNI are virtually identical in spec.
In our experience, tooling is critical, especially underboard support
and even pressure on entire connector. You might check out the AMP site
for documents on their tooling and installation. They have quite a bit
of information available on this.

Subject: [TN] input on pressing cPCI connectors
We have recently designed a 6U board that has the J1 & J2 compact PCI
connectors on it. I used the manufacturers spec for the hole sizes and
the board shop fabricated within the tolerance and specification. The
problem is we can not get the connectors to actually press into the
holes.
I would appreciate input from anyone who has some experience with these
connectors!
My understanding of the press tool was that it was nothing other than a
flat piece of metal in a bench press. Is that correct?
What finished hole sizes are being used? With all manufacturers? I
have noticed some dimensional differences in the drawings between Erni &
FCI/Berg.
Can anyone give me an idea of what the press tools actually look like?

Like Paul said, there are two ways to effect the structure. I haven't
designed, built, or used 4 layer boards in years. Most all 4 layer boards,
in ancient times, were core laminated wherein two double sided "boards" were
laminated together with whatever amount of preg was needed to effect the
required thickness. Mass lamination techniques were, and maybe still, used
extensively using core lamination after printing and etching the inner layer
details.
Most all, if not all, "sophisticated" MLB's are foil laminated with preg
facing the outer most layers with thin core materials making up the rest as
printed and etched details.
Everyone else pointed to oxides and double treat foils. They would impact
you visually as pointed out.
In any event, your boards should be reliable and functional unless your
supplier looses the recipe for effective process management.
Enjoy Genny,
MoonMan

Thanks Paul. I believe you have hit the nail on the head. This may seem
like an elementary question, but is it better to spec more pre-preg, like
your standard second sketch, or go with your first sketch?
I guess I don't have a good concept of what prepreg is or when it should be
used. What I think I know about it is that it is not fully cured FR4 and
that the pressing of the layers together is what finishes the cure process.
I think I believed that it was sort of the 'glue' that held a multilayer
board together and thought it should be placed in the middle.
We have only just started to try to be more specific in what materials we
spec, and before, we trusted the manufacturer to figure out what to use. I
believe we probably used to get a construction based exactly on your second
sketch. But this board is built like your first sketch, which, amazingly
enough, was what we spec'd in our brand new revised readme file.
It is comforting to know they read my readme file...even if I don't know
what I am talking about.
Thanks. Any good sources of info on what pre-preg is and where it should be
used would be much appreciated...

It sounds like your PCB was built with two B stages with FR4 between the
copper layers and the prepreg
between layers 2-3.
Similar to this Most 4-layers

Alan,
We too have the same situation as you do in regards to ICT of complex PWA's. Our design engineers have not included test points, wide traces or anything else that would allow for the in circuit testing of our boards. Our boards are very dense in component population and use a mixture of fine pitch, SMD and thru hole components on them. They are 10"X18" boards that have 8 to 12 layers. As big as they are there is just no room to fit any test points on there. That's ok because, the designers have no intentions of going back and re-routing the boards to allow for this.
So we have had to compensate by finding an assembly house that has AOI. They do 100% inspection on every board they assemble. When we receive the boards we add several more components by hand and then we do a visual inspection. After that we use a meter or curve tracer to check the power planes for shorts between them and ground. Finally comes what we call the "smoke test". This is were the board is plugged into a test chassis and turned on. You will soon find out if you still have any shorts are reversed components that you missed. Believe it or not this has been successful for us in getting boards built and working. ICT is obviously much faster in testing the boards, but not always more accurate or successful(Test programs are never complete and constantly changing). One of the big reason this works for us is because we have low volumes and a high mix(ICT is expensive for low volume, very complex boards).
You have to balance the cost of adding ICT into your designs and to your assembly costs against the cost of visual inspection and more labor intensive test procedures. For us it was about the same cost and the quality has not suffered by omitting ICT.
Hope this helps,
Paul

Hi, I have not used the forum before but am currently at the centre of an
internal company clash, and would appreciate any help on the issue below.
My problem involves In Circuit Test ;-
Our Logistics department here (which includes production, test and
deployment) are demanding quite strongly that ICT be done on each PWB we
design, and that every signal and every component value be tested, i.e. 100%
test point access on traces (even N/Cs).
The Engineers are not quite so keen as most have used JTAG and Boundary scan
etc to evaluate the devices they deem critical. They are also worried (and
rightly so) about the effect that test points may have on traces with
controlled impedance, or those on critical timing paths, but are not adverse
to giving test point access where possible and where the design will not be
affected.
The boards we design here are also very complex, we mount SMDs on both sides
and often have 10 or 12 copper layers in (usually) 1,6mm thick FR4, the
boards are also very dense with real estate at an absolute priority such
that we use the smallest devices available. Currently we have 0,8mm pitch
uBGAs whose routing must be resolved vertically, i.e. blind and buried vias,
with obvious drawbacks for ICT.
We have in the past used the Specctra autorouter to allocate test point
access but the best result so far is about 80% (of course I could use bad
placement to improve this!), and even here we used the smallest possible
access points 0.03" on the smallest possible grid 0.05". On some boards it
is below 50% access. Our usual via holes only have land of 0.024", so these
cannot be used.
I could of course try to manually allocate access points, by increasing via
land where appropriate, or thickening and exposing traces where possible and
deploying all other tricks I can, but the time and effort here would be
enormous, and other projects may suffer as a result.
Any advise or knowledge that can be offered here would be most welcome.
Is this problem common to other companies?
How is the Industry thinking about ICT at the moment?
Are there better autorouters?
Are there ICT houses that can use smaller nodes on tighter grids?
Is there new technology just around the corner?
Etc Etc.
With many thanks in advance, and regards,

Jim, this is the first I have heard of anything along these lines and we
build LOTS of stuff for the Air Force. On the other hand, we clean our
hardware, so they may not feel the need to talk to us on this issue. I
would think that levying such a requirement on *existing* hardware would be
next to impossible since you affect thousands of contracts. You might want
to determine if this is a requirement for NEW designs. Since many
companies do manufactur hi-rel equipment with no-clean processes, I would
be curious as to the technical rationale for such a requirement.

(More wood to the bonfire...)
In addition to the other comments, to expand on what Moonmeister said,
possible that your vendor is using foil construction now versus core
construction. For 4-layer boards, foil construction starts with a core
board already processed and adds laminate/prepreg to the outside with copper
foil added last, then processed. Core construction uses 2 cores (Layers 1 &
2, then Layers 3 & 4) with laminate/prepreg in between.
Does the master (or drill) drawing define board construction, or is it left
to the vendor's discretion?

That is kind of what I was wondering, Moonman.
Does it appear that our board manufacturers usually etch the copper on the
back of the top sheet of FR4, and instead this manufacturer etched it on the
top of the inner sheet of FR4, so we are seeing the other side of the
copper? As far as I figure, the layer spacing would be effectively the
same, so can anyone see any problems with one type of construction over the
other?
The deeper layer is dark like the close layer usually appears, so to me it
looks like the same processes were used but both inner layers were etched on
the inner sheet of FR4, versus etching them on the inside of the outer two
sheets.
Or, considering the other answer I received regarding no oxide coating, or
double treatment: are these bad things?
Thanks.

Hi Jim,
This sounds like a dissident to the DOD Acquistion Reform Policy instituted
back in the mid 90s that did away with the "how to" spec's/std's (i.e.
MIL-E-5400, MIL-STD-275, MIL-P-55110 and MIL-STD-2000) and relies upon the
performance specification to determine the product requirements. In other
words don't tell the manufacturer how to
design/build/qualify/produce/warrant equipment because it costs too much,
tell her/him what you want the equipment to do, for how long, in what
environment and all with minimal risk and a reduced cost -- yeah right!
If I were a betting man, I would say that an Air Force Program Manager (not
the whole Air Force) has been bitten by the misuse of no-clean chemistry on
a previous program or contract. So, in a sense, this may be the second time
and it is not going to be shame on the PM.
This reminds me of years gone by while with the Navy -- after MIL-STD-2000
was cancelled, NAWCADLKE-MISC-05-MT-0002 was developed and released by the
same Navy folks (I'm one of the guilty) who supported the SOLD program.
This document found its way into contracts and product specifications not
without notice but there was little the bigger DOD folks could do.
Remember, you get what you pay for and if that Air Force PM wants no-clean,
he probably has a damn good reason why.

You should take a look at the Agilent web site
(http://www.ate.agilent.com/emt/index.shtml)... they look at testing issues
a a combination of AOI, AXI (xray), and of course ICT... with each of the 3
overlapping each other capabilities. We run their AXI with our ICT on
similar boards that have limited conventional test access.

Depends on which surface is an original bond and which surface is laminated
in process.
Relative opacity could just be prepreg type, processing requirements. Color
largely irrelevant.
It's a sign that their process has changed, though, so you'd best be on your
guard for more serious deviations.

Jim,
Not really an answer, but I am curious to this directive??? Do you have any
idea why the Air Force would disallow such no-clean products. I would have
thought it was more of an issue that some contractors are applying very
aggressive rosin based fluxes to their boards, to the point of having to
clean the residues off. I am a firm believer in no-clean products, I have
always used no-clean wave solder fluxes, and re-work fluxes, and I would
never even consider using fluxes that require cleaning. Our process window
fits the no-clean directive, and I am experiencing perfect solder results.
Surely, the situation of applying possibly corrosive fluxes to a board and
then having to clean these boards would pose more of a threat to
military/air force applications????
Curious,
Mike

Doug Pauls, ever calm and collected, responds.
Jim, this is the first I have heard of anything along these lines and we
build LOTS of stuff for the Air Force. On the other hand, we clean our
hardware, so they may not feel the need to talk to us on this issue. I
would think that levying such a requirement on *existing* hardware would be
next to impossible since you affect thousands of contracts. You might want
to determine if this is a requirement for NEW designs. Since many
companies do manufactur hi-rel equipment with no-clean processes, I would
be curious as to the technical rationale for such a requirement.

David,
No I have not, but where is the onus placed? After reading what you
provided, it implies that the buyer is responsible to perform these
evaluations after the hardware is built. In no certain terms, with or
without this new document, design it + build it + qualify it + produce it +
warrant it = prove it, is the mandated acquisition process.

was cancelled, NAWCADLKE-MISC-05-MT-0002 was developed and released by
the
same Navy folks (I'm one of the guilty) who supported the SOLD program.
This document found its way into contracts and product specifications
not
without notice but there was little the bigger DOD folks could do.
Remember, you get what you pay for and if that Air Force PM wants
no-clean,
he probably has a damn good reason why.

...the Air Force has issued a directive disallowing the use of no-clean

on any of their hardware. The customer is flowing down that requirement
to
us. Do any of you know of this directive or what they could be

to?

I didn't build your boards, but I build them for a living. After reading
numerous comments, I offer the following:
Be careful about specifying the materials. If you spec the glue into the
middle, as you say, then you increase the cost of the boards with no real
benefit. It is cheaper and just as reliable to build the boards with a
single double-sided core and prepreg on both sides against foil
outerlayers. This is the preferred method of manufacture... it costs less
because it is easier to build and the materials are cheaper, but the
pricess itself is every bit as good as the "old way".
The best oxides are no longer black in appearance. If your traces on layer
2 are silver-colored now, this is probably a good thing. Your supplier may
be just improving his quality and forgot to brag about it.
The new oxides are now lighter than the treatment used by laminate
manufacturers. Laminators use a treatment that is tan or reddish colored.
When it was contrasted by black-oxided traces, it appeared light. But now,
against the silver of the new oxides, and covered with soldermask, it can
seem quite dark.

I have also faced "requirements" like this several times. Though is
achievable on lower complexity products, it is typically not possible for
the type of boards you describe. Your boards are the specific test scenario
that led the industry to develop boundary scan test methods and the JTAG
interface. They were invented to give visibility to buried or otherwise
unreachable nodes, thus making higher density products feasible. They did
not come about to make test development easy.
It sounds like your Logistics Group is simplifying their own life and
covering their collective posterior at everyone else's expense. This kind
of mindset is similar to requiring that every component specified has
multiple manufacturers and be in stock at multiple distributors. While
these are laudable goals, if you take these as requirements, you will design
products that are easily manufactured and tested but are too large or
technologically backward for the end use, i.e. they won't sell.
This is a tough nut to crack because 100% test access is not a requirement
for assuring a conforming, quality product. It is a requirement for
enabling someone to do their job without thinking. Being conservative and
insisting on processes that you can stand behind is a reasonable starting
point. When it precludes your achieving customer requirements, it's time
for _them_ to come up with some alternatives.
Complex, dense boards are challenging to create a test strategy for and
there is no avoiding it, at least with today's test technologies. You will
likely have to use a combination of technologies to fully test your product.
The SPECCTRA router is a very capable design tool and there is no magic
bullet here. IMHO, double-sided 12-layer boards and 100% test access are
incompatible.

Alan,
You have my heartfelt sympathy, and I can only help relieve a tiny portion
of what you're asking, as I'm a Jack of all Trades and Master of the
Inverse.
There are various techniques for grouping and isolating components in a
layout such that they can be tested with fewer test points. The pad sizes
and spaces you quote are at the limit from what I know, but I understand
that probe technology is having to improve all the time to keep pace with
ever-developing miniaturisation. I suggest you talk closely to Agilence, or
similar ICT tester experts to see what they have to say. And don't
necessarily listen too hard to what the jig manufacturers have to say. The
ICT test machine manufacturers will tell you what it's possible to test and
how. All you have to do then is find a jig manufacturer who can comply.
Only relax your requirements as you beat a strategic retreat from the
apparently impossible to the just possible.
Another two cents' worth is - we also have densely populated, double-sided,
12 layer boards, and we opted to manually route them. We couldn't rely on
any autorouter to efficiently route a board and maintain our design rules,
as we wound up with critical traces being routed all over the place and via
a number of layers instead of being 'as short as possible' and limited to
one layer. Manual routing gave us infinitely more control over what was
routed where, and it didn't change out of all recognition with every minor
amendment. It takes longer and is possible to prone to at least the same
number of errors (albeit human rather than machine), but it worked better
for us when laying out how many ICT pads we really needed and where they
should go.
FYI, The routers we s/c to use PADS, Allegro or Mentor, each at latest
versions, which, when comparing results, is a good spread of routing
software in terms of quality.

Hi, I have not used the forum before but am currently at the centre of an
internal company clash, and would appreciate any help on the issue below.
My problem involves In Circuit Test ;-
Our Logistics department here (which includes production, test and
deployment) are demanding quite strongly that ICT be done on each PWB we
design, and that every signal and every component value be tested, i.e.
100%
test point access on traces (even N/Cs).
The Engineers are not quite so keen as most have used JTAG and Boundary
scan
etc to evaluate the devices they deem critical. They are also worried (and
rightly so) about the effect that test points may have on traces with
controlled impedance, or those on critical timing paths, but are not
adverse
to giving test point access where possible and where the design will not be
affected.
The boards we design here are also very complex, we mount SMDs on both
sides
and often have 10 or 12 copper layers in (usually) 1,6mm thick FR4, the
boards are also very dense with real estate at an absolute priority such
that we use the smallest devices available. Currently we have 0,8mm pitch
uBGAs whose routing must be resolved vertically, i.e. blind and buried
vias,
with obvious drawbacks for ICT.
We have in the past used the Specctra autorouter to allocate test point
access but the best result so far is about 80% (of course I could use bad
placement to improve this!), and even here we used the smallest possible
access points 0.03" on the smallest possible grid 0.05". On some boards it
is below 50% access. Our usual via holes only have land of 0.024", so these
cannot be used.
I could of course try to manually allocate access points, by increasing via
land where appropriate, or thickening and exposing traces where possible
and
deploying all other tricks I can, but the time and effort here would be
enormous, and other projects may suffer as a result.
Any advise or knowledge that can be offered here would be most welcome.
Is this problem common to other companies?
How is the Industry thinking about ICT at the moment?
Are there better autorouters?
Are there ICT houses that can use smaller nodes on tighter grids?
Is there new technology just around the corner?
Etc Etc.
With many thanks in advance, and regards,

Hi, Jim,
I haven't heard of a specific directive banning the use of no-clean, but
having worked all my life in the aerospace manufacturing industry, I
wouldn't naturally us no-cleans to start with.
As has been said before in this forum - no-clean does not mean no-residue.
In the operating environments that expensive aircraft frequent, ANY
residues affect the life and reliability of a board and not predictably so.
Their effect in an aerospace environment is many times more significant
than they are in, say, a PC or VCR, which operate only in relatively very
benign conditions.
If your company is not a specialist CM for aerospace boards - i.e. you're
more commercially oriented - then the directive is possibly issued
specially so that you're not tempted to use no-clean processes.

Hi everybody,
I was just approached by one of our engineers whose customer told her that
the Air Force has issued a directive disallowing the use of no-clean fluxes
on any of their hardware. The customer is flowing down that requirement to
us. Do any of you know of this directive or what they could be referring
to?
Thanks,
Jim

Subject: REALLY EXCITING STUFF AND A BUG IN MY CAVE
Hell, It ain't that exciting but it sure got my attention. I asked Steve,
again, to post three pics on his outstanding site. The first shows the
overall view, top down of course, of solder columns at 10x. The second has a
bug in it at 60x. Probably one of those little brown "lady bug" like
creatures infesting us all (damn they're bad, aren't they?). The third is a
more slanted view showing the "columns" that seem partially formed solder
joints that didn't take.
The strange thing, to me, is the CSP/DSP parts fell off the board on
arrival. However, a large ceramic BGA on the same board exhibited perfect
solder ball squat and joint formation.
My question is how do these columns form into almost perfect structures
without reflowing around and into the balls? Eutectic means, I'm told, going
from a solid state to a liquid state without going through a plastic state.
Again, how did this occur without reflowing and effecting a solder joint?

One more cent's worth is to enhance the board's own built-in test (BIT)
capability, wich reduces the amount of ICT tesing required.

Alan,
We too have the same situation as you do in regards to ICT of complex
PWA's. Our design engineers have not included test points, wide traces or
anything else that would allow for the in circuit testing of our boards.
Our boards are very dense in component population and use a mixture of fine
pitch, SMD and thru hole components on them. They are 10"X18" boards that
have 8 to 12 layers. As big as they are there is just no room to fit any
test points on there. That's ok because, the designers have no intentions
of going back and re-routing the boards to allow for this.
So we have had to compensate by finding an assembly house that has AOI.
They do 100% inspection on every board they assemble. When we receive the
boards we add several more components by hand and then we do a visual
inspection. After that we use a meter or curve tracer to check the power
planes for shorts between them and ground. Finally comes what we call the
"smoke test". This is were the board is plugged into a test chassis and
turned on. You will soon find out if you still have any shorts are reversed
components that you missed. Believe it or not this has been successful for
us in getting boards built and working. ICT is obviously much faster in
testing the boards, but not always more accurate or successful(Test
programs are never complete and constantly changing). One of the big reason
this works for us is because we have low volumes and a high mix(ICT is
expensive for low volume, very complex boards).
You have to balance the cost of adding ICT into your designs and to your
assembly costs against the cost of visual inspection and more labor
intensive test procedures. For us it was about the same cost and the
quality has not suffered by omitting ICT.
Hope this helps,
Paul

Hi, I have not used the forum before but am currently at the centre of an
internal company clash, and would appreciate any help on the issue below.
My problem involves In Circuit Test ;-
Our Logistics department here (which includes production, test and
deployment) are demanding quite strongly that ICT be done on each PWB we
design, and that every signal and every component value be tested, i.e.
100%
test point access on traces (even N/Cs).
The Engineers are not quite so keen as most have used JTAG and Boundary
scan
etc to evaluate the devices they deem critical. They are also worried (and
rightly so) about the effect that test points may have on traces with
controlled impedance, or those on critical timing paths, but are not
adverse
to giving test point access where possible and where the design will not be
affected.
The boards we design here are also very complex, we mount SMDs on both
sides
and often have 10 or 12 copper layers in (usually) 1,6mm thick FR4, the
boards are also very dense with real estate at an absolute priority such
that we use the smallest devices available. Currently we have 0,8mm pitch
uBGAs whose routing must be resolved vertically, i.e. blind and buried
vias,
with obvious drawbacks for ICT.
We have in the past used the Specctra autorouter to allocate test point
access but the best result so far is about 80% (of course I could use bad
placement to improve this!), and even here we used the smallest possible
access points 0.03" on the smallest possible grid 0.05". On some boards it
is below 50% access. Our usual via holes only have land of 0.024", so these
cannot be used.
I could of course try to manually allocate access points, by increasing via
land where appropriate, or thickening and exposing traces where possible
and
deploying all other tricks I can, but the time and effort here would be
enormous, and other projects may suffer as a result.
Any advise or knowledge that can be offered here would be most welcome.
Is this problem common to other companies?
How is the Industry thinking about ICT at the moment?
Are there better autorouters?
Are there ICT houses that can use smaller nodes on tighter grids?
Is there new technology just around the corner?
Etc Etc.

Quite an interesting one this, with implications beyond the obvious.
Firstly, despite what Mike says, I think most of us would agree that a
properly cleaned board, even soldered with a reasonably aggressive flux,
is less likely to be unreliable than an uncleaned one, under some given
conditions. Experience has proved this.
Then there are some "no-clean" fluxes/pastes which are REALLY dangerous,
so it is easy to imagine that someone could have been bitten.
However, I strongly suspect, reading between the lines, that this notion
may apply to conformally-coated boards. Here, there is a distinct
problem with "no-cleans" unless the homework is VERY carefully done and
the process is constantly requalified, including checking the
contamination on every batch of incoming components. Personally, I would
never advise a client to use "no-clean" products if the products were to
be coated. It could be a time bomb waiting to go off under your feet
even years later (especially, no pun, with armament electronics which
may be stored for 15 years and then used for the first and only time
during a period of a few minutes).
Finally, a PCB design which is optimised for use with a mild "no-clean"
wave-soldering flux or paste would be better redrafted if it were to be
changed to a less mild flux and cleaned. Many such boards would be
totally unsuitable for cleaning and the result may be worse than ever,
in terms of reliability, if there were no re-design.
I would therefore want the rumour to be substantiated before any action
was to be taken.

Well this really a very long sentence and I had to red it twice to get it. =
However, it sais a lot and nothing. Especially regarding the IMC layers.
The problem is, that IMC's are strong and brittle. This means that usually =
IMC's don't deform in thermal cycling. However, as in all brittle =
materials, a notch or crack propagates very fast through the material ( in =
fact almost instantaneously) due the stress concentration occurring at the =
tip of the crack. To do so a certain stress is needed. Note, degradation =
in solder is strain driven, in the IMC it is stress driven. But, a brittle =
material with a notch needs less load to crack than one without a notch.
The problem of the thickness of an IMC is quite tricky. That's why the IPC =
is somewhat wishy washy about that.=20
- Firstly, the thicker the IMC the more structured is the interface =
solder- IMC, this means the more notches you have.=20
- Secondly, in the gap between a component and the pad you have a limited =
thickness of solder to accommodate the strain forced into the solder joint =
during a thermal cycle. Since stress and strain rate ( It's getting =
academic did you note it? ) are in a direct relationship in creep, this =
results in higher stress the thinner this layer is. Considering the fact =
that IMC's are formed with the solder available one can say that the =
thicker the IMC the thinner the remaining solder gap and thus the higher =
the stress occurring in thermal cycling.
However, who can say how much solder you have between your component and =
the pad. I feel, if 30um of solder between the IMC and the connector of =
the component is left no problem is to expected in an environment above 0 =
deg.C and temperature ramps below 4 deg.C per minute.
Regarding the thickness, well as I said before: I believe the IMC should =
be as thin as possible but there must be one because that's the alloying =

look after it.

Subject: MLB - spotwelding
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
We constructed our own machine for spotwelding mlb lay-ups prior
to pressing. It works fine for 6 and 8 layers (standard FR4 thin
laminates and prepreg). However, for higher layer counts especially
12 layers we seem often to loose internal layer / layer registration.
Could anyone kindly suggest a set of operating parameters
(temperature / pressure / time etc) to give more reliable welds for
higher layer counts. Pressed thickness about 1.6mm. Panel sizes
are relatively small - 14" x 11" would be typical, with 3 welds on
each long side about 4" apart.
The welder heads have a round flat point 10mm diameter and
existing settings are as follows:
Air pressure on the 16mm dia. welder cylinders is 5.5 bar, head
temperatures are controlled at 280C and weld timer set at 90 sec.
Any other input on this subject will also be welcome.

Guenter my great friend, if I may address you that way, I almost understand
all you say to the point of thinner might be better. Of course, I am totally
fact free as well.
Not in any way will an academic point of view make me any more informed. I
want the beef - the facts. If the IPC says something a bit wishy washy,
considering the status of 279's chair (sir Werner) and its fine staff, how
can I even pretend to understand the situation and even feel a bit warm and
fuzzy about solder joint reliability.
I know most of my non academic solder joints are fairly reliable but I still
question how so or much or or or or (cave talk down here)? The photos I
asked Steve to post, defy logic but point to a very messed up process not
even based on IMC formation. However, I did send some others to Werner and
Dave, and based on some findings by Collins and TI that found the IMC layer
to be too thick therefore effecting castration of the balls from the part.
Yes, much to ponder and, seemingly, much more for us all to learn about
solder, solderability, soldering, solder joint formation, and solder joint
reliability.
Are we getting close yet?

Hi MoonCaveMan Shacking Up with Ground Hogs,
When we wrote this, we simply wanted to convey the message that if SJ failure
is in any other failure mode than fracture in the solder per se, it will be
earlier than the SJ reliability design equations estimate. At that point in
time people were having an awful time with ENIG and so we wanted to cover all
the bases.
Best regards,
Werner Engelmaier

No pictures on Steves site yet, but I have observed that CSPs are harder to
heat than BGAs, I have worked on boards that exhibited beautiful solder
connections on 1.27mm pitch BGAs and insufficient reflow under .5 mm CSPs.
Finally, there are CSPs out there with 90/10 solder bumps.
I had an experience with a bug once, a fruit fly must have landed in the
solder paste just prior to placement of an 1206 chip resistor. The result, a
solder fillet with wing, eye, and two legs protruding . . . they did not
exhibit good wetting.

IMO the use of pre-preg should be evaluated based on the operation of the circuit that you are
designing on it. If I had a High Speed circuit the less pre-preg is better since there are less
variables to control. If on the other hand I was creating a low speed power supply type etc., PCB I
would be less likely to be concerned with the materials in the PCB and be concerned with the overall
cost. Remember that the board house builds a panel and if they can build your board in one process it
is easier to control. Work with your board house to see what works better and if it fits in there
process. I hope that helps answers your question.
If you have access to the IPC Standards
One place to start to look at is the IPC 2222 Section 4. for Laminate PrePreg.
IPC
In the assembly of PCBs the Pre-preg is a resin material that has rigid properties until you apply
the necessary heat and pressure at which time the material will flow providing the necessary adhesion
between foil layers and cores. I have found in the past that most manufacturers will have a different
recipe for your PCB depending on the type of process that the vendor uses, the build-up, material
availability, and cost. If your PCB has impedance properties be sure that if you are concerned about
this that the fabricator is aware of your requirements. Various types of Pre-preg have different levels
of glass content and will exhibit different dielectric properties. Ask your board house to provide you
with the build tickets for the two revisions and then you can see what was different about the builds.
This build ticket travels with the PCB throughout the fabrication process.
If you go to the web and search Pre-preg you can find a lot of information some good some bad.

As an example a region in Southern China has been mentioned where approx. 100'000 workers together with their families disassemble old computers and are exposed to poisonous substances. The electronic waste has already contaminated the groundwater to such an extend that drinking water has to be brought to the site. Large amounts of contaminated waste and plastics are burned and deposited in farmlands and irrigation channels.

Guy,
Appreciate the input as always. The strange part of the story is the CSP's
literally fell of the board as clearly shown in the photos now up on Steve's
site. Stranger is the fact the CBGA soldered perfectly and was right next to
the CSP/DSP's.
You can see the solder paste columns as if the stencil was just lifted off
the board. Stranger still, they didn't wet to the CSP balls.
I do have a bit of criticism about your bug findings. I have bugs in my cave
that solder wet rather well. You ever seen these little bbb's (bastard bitch
bugs) some asshole introduced to this country to eat some other crap bug or
larva. You know, the little brown bitch bastard ones looking like lady bugs
but are brown. They're insidious and the winter cold don't kill them though
they do come in out of the cold and bite hell out of you. They solder great.

Mike,
I'm missing something or have grown way to old. Why weld anything? Don't we
still float the preg with pins in slots, etc?
Misregistration is mostly caused by improper, nonhomogeneous core and preg
selections introduced as too many up books in a press opening that may or
may not be properly calibrated and is not properly managed. In a well
managed relamination process, a very predictable flow front is effected so
everything moves associatively. Therefore, without confining the dynamics of
the process, there is little misregistration.
I need to go back to school on this, I guess, or not.

Subject: Re: REALLY EXCITING STUFF AND A BUG IN MY CAVE
I think Guy got it right. Relooking at the recently posted board level
photos and comparing them with the CSP images, it seems clear the solder
balls were detached and became part of the board columns. Hence, the
following exchange:
How did you get those images? Looks like the image of a collapsed solder
ball with the BGA removed.
Were the CSPs installed using solder paste or tacky flux? Are we looking at
the bottom of the CSP or the board?
My dear friend,
I told you it was really exciting stuff. I got the images with my trusty
rusty Intel Play microscope after cutting the hell out of the printed circus
board.
You are looking at the PCB surface and what I believe to be solder paste,
but how can that be when adjacent component solder joints were formed but
cold. The solder balls never wetted or collapsed. The solder columns still
are visible with solder balls seemingly in suspension unless I don't know
about that which I'm talking.
As the device solder balls did detach, maybe we are looking at them and not
just solder paste. That's why I posted them so informed folks like you could
rationalize the situation.
Keep the information coming. Also, revisit the CSP photos taken from the
bottom of the device showing clearly they detached.
What's going on here?
MoonMan
Guy,
I just went back and looked again. You have to be right. The balls detached
from the device and are shown present on the board's solder termination
areas.
Thanks for the observation,
MoonMan
So, back to ground zero. How could those balls detached in such a way? TI
has promised the problem is solved though they admitted too thick an IMC
layer was to blame

I'm looking for a 'flip-over' assembly fixture for large PCBs (20" x

quantity of through-hole parts, close a cover and flip over to solder
the parts manually. I've found ones that handle 16" wide boards but
none wider. Does anyone know of a source for this type of fixture?

I tried to look in the archive for anything relating to warranty
issues and could not find anything. So with that said my company had a board
design built a year ago, we are now getting boards sent back because of
contamination issues. There are over 120 boards that show signs of active
flux contamination some next to fine pitch parts and some all over the
board. The board vendor has been contacted, the response from them was the
warranty is up and we can not issue a RMA#. Has anyone ever had to face this
issue before and if so how was it handled?
Thank you

Mr. Pollak,
High copper content in your solder can cause spikes... or amateur hand
solderers like myself are very good at forming spikes. There may be other
reasons that some of our "older" regulars can contribute.
I looked in IPC/EIA J-STD-006 and it lists max impurity levels for different
elements, but does not give reasons why they are individually considered
impurities. You may be able to find this info from some of the more common
reference books for our industry, the titles of which you can find by doing
a search of the TechNet archives from the IPC homepage.

Firstly, despite what Mike says, I think most of us would agree that a
properly cleaned board, even soldered with a reasonably aggressive flux,
is less likely to be unreliable than an uncleaned one, under some given
conditions. Experience has proved this.
Then there are some "no-clean" fluxes/pastes which are REALLY dangerous,
so it is easy to imagine that someone could have been bitten.
However, I strongly suspect, reading between the lines, that this notion
may apply to conformally-coated boards. Here, there is a distinct
problem with "no-cleans" unless the homework is VERY carefully done and
the process is constantly requalified, including checking the
contamination on every batch of incoming components. Personally, I would
never advise a client to use "no-clean" products if the products were to
be coated. It could be a time bomb waiting to go off under your feet
even years later (especially, no pun, with armament electronics which
may be stored for 15 years and then used for the first and only time
during a period of a few minutes).
Finally, a PCB design which is optimised for use with a mild "no-clean"
wave-soldering flux or paste would be better redrafted if it were to be
changed to a less mild flux and cleaned. Many such boards would be
totally unsuitable for cleaning and the result may be worse than ever,
in terms of reliability, if there were no re-design.
I would therefore want the rumour to be substantiated before any action
was to be taken.

I am also facing the decision of whether to choose no-clean/no wash
process for boards to be conformally coated at customer's site. I am
conducting full qualifying run to confirm the compatibility between
paste/flux and coating material. Unfortunately you rarely can get
confirmation from flux manufacturer about reliability of conformal
coated over noclean boards.
Can anyone share their experience on the risk, precaution steps, and
process control for conformal coat over noclean?
Rgds,
Peter

OK, there are three issues at stake here.
1) The residues from "no-clean" products (and yes, there are residues -
always) may impede adhesion of the coating layer to the substrate
2) Many of the "no-clean" products rely on a slow sublimation of the
residues from the surface, requiring a few weeks to achieve optimal
performance. Sealing these in will prevent this from happening.
3) By definition, all soldering fluxes are ionic. Some may be slightly
hygroscopic, as may also the metal salts formed by the reaction between
the oxides and the flux acids. Some of the rheological additives to
pastes may leave slightly hygroscopic residues. This is an open
invitation to promote vesication, with a potentially very serious loss
of reliability. At the very least, a good "pressure cooker" test is a
must both in qualifying the process and at frequent intervals to check
that it stays on the rails.
I am not saying that coating should never be applied over flux residues.
What I am saying is that anyone who does it without a really thorough
qualification and process control is being professionally irresponsible,
if the products must be reliable. After all, conformal coating is really
a high-rel process and "no-clean" chemistry started as a low-rel
process, creeping up to its present status of medium-rel. It is
therefore really a paradoxal conflict to try and combine the two, likely
to present the disadvantages of both processes with none, or few, of the
advantages.

Hi, Earl,
What a neat castration job!
Observations:
1) Ball adhesion to the package only seems to have been at the perimeter.
2) Some voiding but nothing too detrimental.
3) Focus on the board-end SJ's isn't so good, but although they look well
wetted and formed, they look a bit barrel-shaped themselves, not filleted
nicely to the balls (unless that's an optical illusion or trick of the
light).
4) Lots of barnacles and whiskers appearing on the balls in picture #3.
5) The bottom right quarter of picture 1 shows a reddish glow - is this
reflection of the hell fire that caused this problem?
6) The brown deposits among the balls in picture 1, I took to be substrate
remains, but the close-up view in picture 2 makes me doubt that.
Questions:
1) Is this the only thermally massive component on the board, or are there
others? How are they distributed?
2) What thermal profiling, temp cycling, rework has the board been through?
3) How old is the BGA?
4) Do you know what the brown deposits are?
5) Under what conditions was the BGA so summarily neutered? Vibration?
Sudden shock (e.g. dropped)? It just came off in my hand, honest!?
6) Are these eutectic balls (PBGA's) or HMP (CBGA's)?
7) Is the soldering process clean or no-clean?
8) Is the board double sided, and subjected to two reflows? And are there
then and through-hole parts that are wave soldered? How many times has this
poor specimen been through the oven, or at least near-reflow temp?
Opinion:
Neither very academic, nor drawn from the wisdom and knowledge of great
experience, but you may have the result of a component that's been around a
while (IMC build-up between balls and component body, causing poor adhesion
to the substrate) being soldered using a profile that may be too low temp
for too long.
I had a couple of boards last year that failed vibration testing very
quickly and the balls looked a bit like those in the pics - maybe not quite
so 'warty' but showing as very coarse and full of striations as if
partially reflowed and solidified again.
Have you done any sections on this one yet? An ESM picture of the result
might be interesting, especially at the interfaces.

I'm not an expert in this but have had some experiences of this in
recent months, as we've had problems with applying conformal coating
over boards assembled with a "no-clean" process.=20
Our customer had decided to use conformal coating as extra insulation in
HV areas of the board ,so the coating was selectively sprayed over
roughly half of the PCBA area. Basically the coating didn't adhere to
the board well enough, and it was noticed that we were getting arcing
between adjecant points when high voltages were applied to the circuit.
We were using Electrolube coatings, and after much discussion with them,
they advised us that the coating wouldn't adhere properly if the boards
weren't cleaned. We asked our board assembler to change processes, the
boards are now throughly cleaned before the coating is applied, and the
problems are much reduced.
Another supplier of coatings did take a different view, suggesting that
clean boards weren't essential to the process, but our experience seemed
to indicate that, in this application at least, cleaning the board prior
to coating was essential.
Suggest you discuss this with the coating supplier to get their advice.

Peter,
Sorry I don't have much time now to answer all your questions. Some I can't
anyway.
However, Steve's site has all the photos of this mess posted as CSP1 - CSP4,
Kester Reflow profile, Successful by Kerry profile, TI no balls CSP board
bottom, and the ones you are referring to. The TI CSP board bottom photo
shows clearly the mating male view where the balls came off and the balls
are shown in the pics to which you refer. The CSP1 - CSP4 images are the
x-sections with CSP4 supposedtly showing the thick IMC formation or so says
TI and Collins labs.
The C clamp photo no longer is up. I thought the folks here were only
joking, but they tell me 4 of 7 of these parts just fell off the board with
little or no interference.
There are several other BGA's on the board and one is a ceramic type that
soldered very well. TI supplied these parts as the X version. This means
they were prototypes and they admitted, after these occurences, one of their
suppliers, whatever that means, had problems with ball attachment - no joke
there.
We have some new parts in now. However, we are going to a new assembler with
older, but not X variety, parts. I ordered new boards as well so
solderability and other MLB issues will be resolved.
I do appreciate the careful observations. I'll talk more when more time is
available.
Earl

Electrovert once published a wave soldeing troubleshooting chart. I have a
ragged old copy. It lists many poential causes of the condition.
Process Related: solder temp too low, wave height too low, wave uneven,
solder contaminated (use J-STD-001 to evauate solder purity J-STD-006 is
intended for new alloy material), preheat temp too high or too low, flux
contaminated, flux specific gravity too low, flux no nolonger active, flux
not making contact, flux foam head low, flux uneven, flux blow-off
excessive, pallet too hot, conveyor speed high, conveyor vibration, conveyor
angle low, early removal of board, board not seated properly.
Assembly Related: board contamination, component contamination, component
leads too long, improper board handling.
Board Fab Related: Board Oxidized.
Design Related: Pallet design, large plane on solder side, large unfilled
holes.

There was a discussion on arbitration last year (2001) that may help you.
IMHO you may have discovered the difference referencing J-STD-001C on a
procurement agreement and referencing IPC-A-610C.

What's really unfortunate is the amount of emotional claptrap that's fostered off
as science. There is nothing inherently dangerous about electronic waste. What does
appear to be dangerous, is simple mishandling, and careless disposal.
Using the faulty logic that the Silly Valley Toxic Coalition apparently uses, if
people dumped junk cars into their water supply, the auto industry would be responsible
for generating "toxic waste".
The real "toxic waste" is the junk science quoted as fact.
IMHO, of course!

Well, as Brother Brian copied me on his response about no-cleans and
conformal coat, I took it as a subtle hint to throw my two
cents/shillings/micro-Euros into the mix.
I am of the general opinion that you can make almost any material set do
what you want with sufficient time and attention to the selection of the
materials and the associated process parameters. I know of companies out
there who successfully use no-clean assembly processes and conformally coat
over the residues. Delco Electronics is one such company. They make more
assemblies in a month than Rockwell makes in a year. Many of their product
lines are no-clean and they coat over them. And the under-the-hood
environment of a car is a pretty nasty environment with lots of thermal
cycles, humidity, and salt environment (if you are from the north). I know
that they put a tremendous amount of time into the selection of the flux
and the selection of the process parameters, such that conformal coat would
adhere to whatever they left on the board. There are other companies as
well that manufacturer to Class 3 high-reliability standards that use
no-clean and conformally coat. And all of them spent a lot of money tuning
the process. As Brian said, the person who tries to combine these two
without diligent process control and process qualification is
irresponsibile. I would agree.
Keep in mind what a low solids flux residue represents. The amount of
residue depends on how much you apply and the thermal reflow profile you
use. If you throw huge amounts of 5% flux on an assembly with lots of
entrapment sites, then expect to have lots of residue after soldering. If
you lightly spray on a 1% flux, using no more than you absolutely must
have, and you tune your reflow accordingly, then most or all may flash off
in reflow. Secondly, the flux residues after soldering will have different
characteristics, depending on how you processed the flux. A low solids
flux (LSF) must reach some minimum activation temperature before the
residues fully react and reach the "benign" stage. If the flux is not
fully reacted, then portions of the high molecular weight high boiling
point solvents remain, making the residues mildly conductive. This may be
why Lorraine Reid saw arcing in a high voltage application. The flux
residues may not have been fully reacted, and so did not have the same
dielectric strength as a fully reacted residue. I have seen this failure
mechanism numerous times where the assembler did not fully realize that
throwing more flux at the assembly was not a wise thing to do. One
critical mistake that many assemblers, new to the field of no clean make,
is that they do not understand how a LSF works. With a water soluble flux,
you have a chemical etching that goes on from the point of application to
the point of reflow. For a LSF, you do not get fluxing action until you
drive off the carrier solvent and the crystals of the weak organic acids
(usually one or more dicarboxylic acids) melt, which then provide the oxide
stripping mechanism. So OA flux experience tells an operator that if you
have soldering problems, throw more flux at the assembly, but with a LSF,
if the board reaches the wave wet, you get no oxide removal, so the
solution is to throw less flux at the problem. For the same reasons, you
don't want to squirt liquid LSF on a board as part of hand soldering. The
flux goes a lot farther than the heat from the soldering iron reaches.
That isopropanol carrier takes that flux places you would not believe.
Keep in mind that flux manufacturers can work to tailor the properties of
the residual flux. One example that I know of is Indium SMQ-92 and
SMQ-92J. The residues in the 92J are harder and glossier than those of the
92. Indium did that to make the 92 easier to penetrate in probe testing.
I have found it useful to look at the flux residues as if it were a
material that I design into the board, rather than a process effect. If I
have a great big honkin' electrolytic capacitor, I know that I have
laminate between the through-holes, and solder mask between the through
holes. I would evaluate both the laminate and the solder mask to determine
if they had sufficient dielectric strength for the application. Now, add
to that a layer of flux residue remaining after processing. Does that flux
residue have adequate dielectric strength for the application. Then, if it
does in the fully reacted state, what kinds of processing controls do I
need to have in place in order to make sure that the flux residue reaches
that dielectric state during processing? This is where I see many no-clean
assemblers failing. They fail to take into account the residues as a
dielectric material, affecting dielectic strength, cross talk, impedance,
rise time and propogation in RF, etc., or they fail to make their assembly
process robust enough against these factors.
As Brian pointed out, many of the LSF residues are hydroscopic in nature,
which has to be remembered when considering conformal coating. If you have
a case where you have unreacted flux residues, or a board that has an
unacceptable level of ionic contamination on it, conformal coating will NOT
help you.
I had a number of clients when I was at CSL that had problems identified on
their boards. Maybe it was the unreacted flux, maybe dirty bare boards,
maybe dirty assemblies. Some did not want to spend the time or money to
attack the true cause of the problem, which were the ionic residues. Their
solution was to slap a layer of conformal coating over the problem and ship
product. Of course, choosing the cheapest solution, the acrylic coatings,
which have the higher water permeability of them all. If you remember the
old commercial with the auto mechanic "You can pay me now or pay me later",
that was what happened. Nine months to a year later, they came back saying
"Uhhhhhhh, it didn't work". Conformal coating only buys you time since
moisture WILL go through the coating.
You can't really fault the coating manufacturer either. Assemblers often
expect the coating manufacturers to make a coating that sticks to any
surface, no matter what the assemblers have done to the board, and for low
cost. Most components have plastic release agents build in, most solder
masks have smooth surfaces that may be difficult to adhere to, and now you
throw in residues with a highly variable surface tension, and you have an
adhesion nightmare. You have this nighmare in fully cleaned assemblies
too, so don't be too quick to blame the coating for not sticking to your
residues.
If you have a choice in conformal coating, I would recommend a urethane, I
would recommend it over an acrylic. The acrylic is simply a dried film
over the surface, with limited chemical interaction to the substrate in
terms of bonding. In addition, you might also have the solvents in the
coating soften and attack the LSF residues, changing the properties (keep
that in mind). The urethanes or epoxies tend to chemically react better
with the substrates, forming a better bond, but they are also more
difficult to rework. If your manufacturing process is mature and
controlled, the tech staff of the coating manufacturer should be able to
help you choose a coating for good adhesion. On the other hand, if your
process is not controlled, you will probably get the generic "Well, the
assembly has to be clean before you coat" response.
So, if you are working with a no-clean assembly processes, you should be
doing the following:
1. Working to understand the dielectric properties of the residues
2. Determine what your processing windows need to be in order to make sure
the flux residues are fully reacted
3. Minimize the amount of flux you are applying
4. Work to use a lower percent solids in the process to leave fewer
residues on the board
5. Select your flux for desirable properties for conformal coat adhesion.
6. Tune your process to get the residue properties you want (in
conjunction with #2), such as a matte finish rather than a hard glossy
7. Select your conformal coating so that the solvent system is compatible
with the flux residues and so that the coating sticks to the residues.
As this message is nearing "the Ellis Zone", I will wrap up by saying that
you CAN manufacture hi-rel equipment with no-clean, you CAN make it
reliable for long life, you CAN make coating stick to it for the design
life, IF IF IF you have done your homework and know what you are doing.

Earl Moon,
Thank you for the response and input.
Unfortunately, I can't comment on what other people are doing, we
practice our craft in relative isolation at the southern extreme of
Africa.
We assemble multilayers on lightweight registration fixtures on
multiline pins, then 'spotweld' the edges (while still on the fixture),
to hold the layer / layer position during pressing (off the fixture). It
is assumed that the prepreg in these 'spots' has sufficiently gelled
or cured to hold their position. There is no use of heavy caul plates
/ pins etc. only 2mm separators in the press (with packing to
achieve correct time / temp profile).
This does work great up to 8 layers, OK for 10 but then gets a bit
wobbly from 12 up. I was hoping that someone else had already
done their homework on this one so that I could crib the answers
without having to do the hard work myself. We currently limit
ourselves to offer MLB's only up to 10 layers, but would like to go
the next step - customer demand!
Mike.

I am, unfortunately, becoming too knowledgeable about this subject

To confirm my understanding, you are putting EN down on to Electroplated

So, you use a catalyst. Look at your catalyst activity. Too much catalyst
can cause this problem. What can cause too much catalyst activity will
depend on which catalyst you are using, but this is a key area to
investigate.

To confirm my understanding, you are putting EN down on to Electroplated Copper?<BR>
<BR>
So, you use a catalyst. Look at your catalyst activity. Too much catalyst can cause this problem. What can cause too much catalyst activity will depend on which catalyst you are using, but this is a key area to investigate.<BR>

A document which may help you out is the IPC-TR-460A, Trouble Shooting
Checklist for Wave Soldering of Printed Wiring Boards. If your in to surface
mount the document is IPC-S-816 SMT Process Guideline and Checklist.
These documents should be able to help you out.

Electrovert once published a wave soldeing troubleshooting chart. I have a
ragged old copy. It lists many poential causes of the condition.
Process Related: solder temp too low, wave height too low, wave uneven,
solder contaminated (use J-STD-001 to evauate solder purity J-STD-006 is
intended for new alloy material), preheat temp too high or too low, flux
contaminated, flux specific gravity too low, flux no nolonger active, flux
not making contact, flux foam head low, flux uneven, flux blow-off
excessive, pallet too hot, conveyor speed high, conveyor vibration, conveyor
angle low, early removal of board, board not seated properly.
Assembly Related: board contamination, component contamination, component
leads too long, improper board handling.
Board Fab Related: Board Oxidized.
Design Related: Pallet design, large plane on solder side, large unfilled

Mike,
I really appreciate your situation. I've just never even thought of doing it
the way you describe. Glad it works for you to a point.
Instead of doing real work in board shops anymore, I just kind of hang
around during evaluation and qualification processes. All I see is pretty
standard stuff using vacuum presses, or not, preg punches, with attendant
hardware as caul plates, separatory sheets, release materials, thermal lag
materials, tooling pins, details precisely aligned via the pins, and prepreg
slotted to float during the relamination process.
I'm not being sarcastic, but is there a reason you're not doing the above?
Again, I might be out of touch but I've recently worked with 52 and 40 layer
boards with relative ease and good quality/yields when the right design
rules are applied and processes are managed effectively. I, and many others,
during the military days 20 plus years ago were doing many designs over 24
layers even up to 60 in a few cases.
Wish I could help more, but I feel I'm missing something.
Enjoy,
Earl

Guy,
Where can I find information on the discussion you mentioned? This
board was sent out before I became involved in the design and assembly of
our circuit boards. Before me no one knew what IPC stood for or the benefits
of understanding, and utilization of the documents IPC has to offer.
I am trying to find out if anything can be done or if this is going
to be a very painful lesson for our company.
Regards,
Ted

Pete,
Do you have analysis that shows the separation you are experiencing is
an adhesion of the electroless nickel to the electoplated copper? I'm
assuming you are seeing some separation of a part soldered to a ENIG
board (Cu/ENi/IAu). If you are seeing a "clean - flat" separation I'd
look to see if it is a brittle fracture beween an IMC and the ENi.

Can somebody shed some light on possible causes of adhesion problems
between electroless nickel and electroplated copper, that occur at
random intervals? Analysis of both baths show they are in order, and the
nickel plating is not permitted to dry or passivate before going into
the copper.

You bring up an interesting point. Your contractual agreement with the
subcontractor who built the boards should have been qualified to verify that
they in fact can build the product to your requirements. Many time people
get boards built by subcontractors and don't understand the impacts of the
manufacturing process on their products either through chemistry being used
or materials and tools being used.
By specifying on your contract what your cleaning requirements were, the
manufacturer would then be able to decide whether or not they could
manufacture the product or let you know what their process could provide so
you could make a decision as to whether or not go with those folks. We see
this quite often with people requiring the use of Low Solid content flux on
their products then asking the manufacturer to clean the product. Many times
incompatibilities are created between the flux chemistries and the cleaning
process and customers become unhappy with the results.
There were a couple of TechNet message within the last couple of weeks that
talked about the use of Low Solid content fluxes and their ability to be
cleaned and conformal coated.
In closing Soldering may appear and feel like a simple process, but there
are so many variables in the equation that many things can and will go wrong
if one goes about using the process in the wrong way.
Hope this helps. If you want to talk some more about this, please send me an
email of line at [log in to unmask]

it's the other way around: elecrolytic copper on EN, which is plated onto aluminum.

Subject: Re: [TN] No No-clean?
Well, as Brother Brian copied me on his response about no-cleans and
conformal coat, I took it as a subtle hint to throw my two
cents/shillings/micro-Euros into the mix.
I am of the general opinion that you can make almost any material set do
what you want with sufficient time and attention to the selection of the
materials and the associated process parameters. I know of companies out
there who successfully use no-clean assembly processes and conformally coat
over the residues. Delco Electronics is one such company. They make more
assemblies in a month than Rockwell makes in a year. Many of their product
lines are no-clean and they coat over them. And the under-the-hood
environment of a car is a pretty nasty environment with lots of thermal
cycles, humidity, and salt environment (if you are from the north). I know
that they put a tremendous amount of time into the selection of the flux
and the selection of the process parameters, such that conformal coat would
adhere to whatever they left on the board. There are other companies as
well that manufacturer to Class 3 high-reliability standards that use
no-clean and conformally coat. And all of them spent a lot of money tuning
the process. As Brian said, the person who tries to combine these two
without diligent process control and process qualification is
irresponsibile. I would agree.
Keep in mind what a low solids flux residue represents. The amount of
residue depends on how much you apply and the thermal reflow profile you
use. If you throw huge amounts of 5% flux on an assembly with lots of
entrapment sites, then expect to have lots of residue after soldering. If
you lightly spray on a 1% flux, using no more than you absolutely must
have, and you tune your reflow accordingly, then most or all may flash off
in reflow. Secondly, the flux residues after soldering will have different
characteristics, depending on how you processed the flux. A low solids
flux (LSF) must reach some minimum activation temperature before the
residues fully react and reach the "benign" stage. If the flux is not
fully reacted, then portions of the high molecular weight high boiling
point solvents remain, making the residues mildly conductive. This may be
why Lorraine Reid saw arcing in a high voltage application. The flux
residues may not have been fully reacted, and so did not have the same
dielectric strength as a fully reacted residue. I have seen this failure
mechanism numerous times where the assembler did not fully realize that
throwing more flux at the assembly was not a wise thing to do. One
critical mistake that many assemblers, new to the field of no clean make,
is that they do not understand how a LSF works. With a water soluble flux,
you have a chemical etching that goes on from the point of application to
the point of reflow. For a LSF, you do not get fluxing action until you
drive off the carrier solvent and the crystals of the weak organic acids
(usually one or more dicarboxylic acids) melt, which then provide the oxide
stripping mechanism. So OA flux experience tells an operator that if you
have soldering problems, throw more flux at the assembly, but with a LSF,
if the board reaches the wave wet, you get no oxide removal, so the
solution is to throw less flux at the problem. For the same reasons, you
don't want to squirt liquid LSF on a board as part of hand soldering. The
flux goes a lot farther than the heat from the soldering iron reaches.
That isopropanol carrier takes that flux places you would not believe.
Keep in mind that flux manufacturers can work to tailor the properties of
the residual flux. One example that I know of is Indium SMQ-92 and
SMQ-92J. The residues in the 92J are harder and glossier than those of the
92. Indium did that to make the 92 easier to penetrate in probe testing.
I have found it useful to look at the flux residues as if it were a
material that I design into the board, rather than a process effect. If I
have a great big honkin' electrolytic capacitor, I know that I have
laminate between the through-holes, and solder mask between the through
holes. I would evaluate both the laminate and the solder mask to determine
if they had sufficient dielectric strength for the application. Now, add
to that a layer of flux residue remaining after processing. Does that flux
residue have adequate dielectric strength for the application. Then, if it
does in the fully reacted state, what kinds of processing controls do I
need to have in place in order to make sure that the flux residue reaches
that dielectric state during processing? This is where I see many no-clean
assemblers failing. They fail to take into account the residues as a
dielectric material, affecting dielectic strength, cross talk, impedance,
rise time and propogation in RF, etc., or they fail to make their assembly
process robust enough against these factors.
As Brian pointed out, many of the LSF residues are hydroscopic in nature,
which has to be remembered when considering conformal coating. If you have
a case where you have unreacted flux residues, or a board that has an
unacceptable level of ionic contamination on it, conformal coating will NOT
help you.
I had a number of clients when I was at CSL that had problems identified on
their boards. Maybe it was the unreacted flux, maybe dirty bare boards,
maybe dirty assemblies. Some did not want to spend the time or money to
attack the true cause of the problem, which were the ionic residues. Their
solution was to slap a layer of conformal coating over the problem and ship
product. Of course, choosing the cheapest solution, the acrylic coatings,
which have the higher water permeability of them all. If you remember the
old commercial with the auto mechanic "You can pay me now or pay me later",
that was what happened. Nine months to a year later, they came back saying
"Uhhhhhhh, it didn't work". Conformal coating only buys you time since
moisture WILL go through the coating.
You can't really fault the coating manufacturer either. Assemblers often
expect the coating manufacturers to make a coating that sticks to any
surface, no matter what the assemblers have done to the board, and for low
cost. Most components have plastic release agents build in, most solder
masks have smooth surfaces that may be difficult to adhere to, and now you
throw in residues with a highly variable surface tension, and you have an
adhesion nightmare. You have this nighmare in fully cleaned assemblies
too, so don't be too quick to blame the coating for not sticking to your
residues.
If you have a choice in conformal coating, I would recommend a urethane, I
would recommend it over an acrylic. The acrylic is simply a dried film
over the surface, with limited chemical interaction to the substrate in
terms of bonding. In addition, you might also have the solvents in the
coating soften and attack the LSF residues, changing the properties (keep
that in mind). The urethanes or epoxies tend to chemically react better
with the substrates, forming a better bond, but they are also more
difficult to rework. If your manufacturing process is mature and
controlled, the tech staff of the coating manufacturer should be able to
help you choose a coating for good adhesion. On the other hand, if your
process is not controlled, you will probably get the generic "Well, the
assembly has to be clean before you coat" response.
So, if you are working with a no-clean assembly processes, you should be
doing the following:
1. Working to understand the dielectric properties of the residues
2. Determine what your processing windows need to be in order to make sure
the flux residues are fully reacted
3. Minimize the amount of flux you are applying
4. Work to use a lower percent solids in the process to leave fewer
residues on the board
5. Select your flux for desirable properties for conformal coat adhesion.
6. Tune your process to get the residue properties you want (in
conjunction with #2), such as a matte finish rather than a hard glossy
7. Select your conformal coating so that the solvent system is compatible
with the flux residues and so that the coating sticks to the residues.
As this message is nearing "the Ellis Zone", I will wrap up by saying that
you CAN manufacture hi-rel equipment with no-clean, you CAN make it
reliable for long life, you CAN make coating stick to it for the design
life, IF IF IF you have done your homework and know what you are doing.

One of my customers has
selected the Alox 2028D for use as a protective coating on their CCAs.
Can anyone share any info on the benefits of this product (if any) in
electronic packaging?
It is mainly Naptha, Trimethylbenzen, hydrocarbon and parrafin wax.
Described as a metalworking fluid additive.
I can envision a lot of problems with wash chemistry incompatibility,
insolubility and rinse water treatment etc.
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks

Kathy Kuhlow asks:
Not to use was explained to me as such: No clean leaves a residue that with
heat can reliquify and then start to move which will cause an air bubble
where the flux was originally at and now isn't.
So the question comes to: does and at what temperature would it take for
the no clean residue you are using to reliquify if it does at all? Then if
it does liquify is there any activation that is occurring? Does the
coating withstand the proper adhesion for the application if the air bubble
does occur?
Doug Pauls, now fully tanked up with Dew, responds.
Kathy, you are treating the low solids flux as if it were a single animal
with tightly identified characteristics. The residues that you have on the
board can be generically called weak organic acids, or dicarboxylic acids.
A paper by Al Schneider (who has forgotten more about flux than I will ever
know) a few years back listed the menu from which a flux manufacturer has
to choose. If I recall, that information found its way into J-HDBK-001,
section 4. The list is over 36 materials, each of which would give you a
different blend of properties in the final residue. A residue that is 50%
adipic and 50% maleic acid would give you different characteristics than
one that is 33% succinnic, 33% glutaric, and 34% fufu dust / gnats noses.
So the question of "what point does the residue soften and creep" depends
entirely on what flux you are using and a generic classification cannot be
made.. Your flux manufacturer would have to answer the question. They
would also have to address the issue of whether or not the residues had any
kind of chemical activity in the softened condition.
Think of it this way: At what temperature does solder reflow? Kind of
depends on the alloy, right?
Some residues will soften under high heat and may creep. It depends on
whether the residue acts more like a thermoplastic or more like a
thermoset. The latter will resist heat better. If your application has a
high amount of heat, or point heat sources, then LSFs may not be good for
that application, or topical cleaning may be needed for that area. In my
experience, you either want to leave a LSF residue totally alone, or
totally remove it. Doing a half-ass job of cleaning results in an amalgam
of cleaner, flux, and interactive products. Not a pretty sight and often
detrimental.
If you have conformal coating over a residue that will soften and creep, I
would suspect you would have adhesion problems and blister formation. The
same problem arises when solder mask is put over a melting metal. The
metal melts and moves, wrinkling or blistering the mask. Same with
conformal coat.

When you are seeing spikes on wave solder there are a number of things to
consider.
1. Is the boards being fluxed correctly and is the temperature profile
correct.
2. Could the dwell time in the solder be too long.
3. If the spikes are on one component it may be worth checking the
solderability.
It is unlikely that the copper content in the solder will be too high as the
rate at which copper dissolves in solder reduces as the copper content
increases so at normal operating temperatures it tends to be self
regulating. However, you should be doing regular checks on your solder
anyway to be sure!

Mr. Pollak,
High copper content in your solder can cause spikes... or amateur hand
solderers like myself are very good at forming spikes. There may be other
reasons that some of our "older" regulars can contribute.
I looked in IPC/EIA J-STD-006 and it lists max impurity levels for different
elements, but does not give reasons why they are individually considered
impurities. You may be able to find this info from some of the more common
reference books for our industry, the titles of which you can find by doing
a search of the TechNet archives from the IPC homepage.

Doug,
I like your answer. One needs to know what animal they are dealing with
before one can determine that the characteristics are. "No Clean" means
different things to different people. There are no clean low solids
fluxes (No-Clean LSF) based on dicarboxylic acids. There are even
No-Clean LSF's which have a rosin content. In my years with Lucent we
used typical RMA (89% metal 11% flux vehicle)solder pastes and RMA
liquid fluxes (5-40% rosin solids) and we didn't clean them off so many
people referred to them as No-Clean but I liked to call them "leave
behind" systems. I don't like the No-Clean name because it doesn't give
one much information.

George

Subject: Re: [TN] No No-clean?
Kathy Kuhlow asks:
Not to use was explained to me as such: No clean leaves a residue that
with
heat can reliquify and then start to move which will cause an air bubble
where the flux was originally at and now isn't.
So the question comes to: does and at what temperature would it take for
the no clean residue you are using to reliquify if it does at all? Then
if
it does liquify is there any activation that is occurring? Does the
coating withstand the proper adhesion for the application if the air
bubble
does occur?
Doug Pauls, now fully tanked up with Dew, responds.
Kathy, you are treating the low solids flux as if it were a single
animal
with tightly identified characteristics. The residues that you have on
the
board can be generically called weak organic acids, or dicarboxylic
acids.
A paper by Al Schneider (who has forgotten more about flux than I will
ever
know) a few years back listed the menu from which a flux manufacturer
has
to choose. If I recall, that information found its way into J-HDBK-001,
section 4. The list is over 36 materials, each of which would give you
a
different blend of properties in the final residue. A residue that is
50%
adipic and 50% maleic acid would give you different characteristics than
one that is 33% succinnic, 33% glutaric, and 34% fufu dust / gnats
noses.
So the question of "what point does the residue soften and creep"
depends
entirely on what flux you are using and a generic classification cannot
be
made.. Your flux manufacturer would have to answer the question. They
would also have to address the issue of whether or not the residues had
any
kind of chemical activity in the softened condition.
Think of it this way: At what temperature does solder reflow? Kind of
depends on the alloy, right?
Some residues will soften under high heat and may creep. It depends on
whether the residue acts more like a thermoplastic or more like a
thermoset. The latter will resist heat better. If your application has
a
high amount of heat, or point heat sources, then LSFs may not be good
for
that application, or topical cleaning may be needed for that area. In
my
experience, you either want to leave a LSF residue totally alone, or
totally remove it. Doing a half-ass job of cleaning results in an
amalgam
of cleaner, flux, and interactive products. Not a pretty sight and
often
detrimental.
If you have conformal coating over a residue that will soften and creep,
I
would suspect you would have adhesion problems and blister formation.
The
same problem arises when solder mask is put over a melting metal. The
metal melts and moves, wrinkling or blistering the mask. Same with
conformal coat.

I was following with great interest the subject. Right now, I am in the

I fully agree with Phil. Surely they jest! Naphtha and trimethylbenzene
have reasonably high boiling points but they are still flammable solvents
and should be treated with respect. The latter has reported mutation
effects in lab animals (not specifically chemists). "Hydrocarbon" is very
broad, but usually means a cut or two above naphtha on the distillation
column. I would be concerned about higher boiling residues creeping into
switches, connectors; their effects on some of the cheaper plastics and
their really good ability to "suck" airborne dusts onto the circuit pack.
As far as the wax, which I presume is what they actually want to put on
their product, they might as well get my grandmother to melt some jam wax in
a double boiler and just pour it on their boards - just kidding!

It is mainly Naptha, Trimethylbenzen, hydrocarbon and parrafin wax.
Described as a metalworking fluid additive.
I can envision a lot of problems with wash chemistry incompatibility,

Hi ya Charlie!
Alox 2028D is covered under MIL-C-81309 Type 3 Class 1 . It's an avionic
grade "soft film" used to temporarily prevent corrosion when shipping
components (up to 1 month) . The Navy uses this stuff. A website:
http://www.ciaci.com/aloxcorporation.htm
<http://www.ciaci.com/aloxcorporation.htm> (although some of it is in
Brazilian I think).
I can see why you'd be concerned.
Hans
MIL-C-81309E
MILITARY SPECIFICATION
CORROSION PREVENTIVE COMPOUNDS, WATER DISPLACING,
ULTRA-THIN FILM
6.1 Intended use. The ultra-thin film, corrosion preventive compounds
covered by this specification are intended for use on any metal surface. It
can be used both for initial protection during shipment and storage and for
in-service treatment. It should not be used around liquid oxygen fittings.
The ability of these materials to prevent corrosion and to displace water
and their ease of application when packaged as class 2 (pressurized spray
cans) make them particularly suited for service use. These materials are
intended for indoor protection and short term protection outdoors where
surfaces can be recoated when required. These materials are not intended as
a substitute for other corrosion preventatives specified for protection of
surfaces for periods of more than one month.

Subject: Re: [TN] Alox 2028D
I fully agree with Phil. Surely they jest! Naphtha and trimethylbenzene
have reasonably high boiling points but they are still flammable solvents
and should be treated with respect. The latter has reported mutation
effects in lab animals (not specifically chemists). "Hydrocarbon" is very
broad, but usually means a cut or two above naphtha on the distillation
column. I would be concerned about higher boiling residues creeping into
switches, connectors; their effects on some of the cheaper plastics and
their really good ability to "suck" airborne dusts onto the circuit pack.
As far as the wax, which I presume is what they actually want to put on
their product, they might as well get my grandmother to melt some jam wax in
a double boiler and just pour it on their boards - just kidding!

Subject: [TN] Alox 2028D
One of my customers has
selected the Alox 2028D for use as a protective coating on their CCAs.
Can anyone share any info on the benefits of this product (if any) in
electronic packaging?
It is mainly Naptha, Trimethylbenzen, hydrocarbon and parrafin wax.
Described as a metalworking fluid additive.
I can envision a lot of problems with wash chemistry incompatibility,
insolubility and rinse water treatment etc.
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks

FW: Water soluble w/BGAI would be the first to admit I am not an expert, but
cleaning under a low stand-off BGA is a major problem. And water soluble
flux residues are definitely not something you want left on a board.

Hey Jim,
That's a good one. Ha! If there's an AF wide directive it hasn't gotten
out this way & you'd think they'd let us Hardware guys know.
It's like Doug, Mel & others have already said, some program (manager or
engineer) might have outlawed no clean for their stuff. But, if I got all
my ducks in a row and convinced my Chief Engineer to sign-off on such a
design change then it rules.
I'm not sure how such a directive could be implemented or paid for!

Hi everybody,
I was just approached by one of our engineers whose customer told her that
the Air Force has issued a directive disallowing the use of no-clean fluxes
on any of their hardware. The customer is flowing down that requirement to
us. Do any of you know of this directive or what they could be referring
to?
Thanks,

We have success where we use WS on 1mm pitch BGAs and 1.25 mm pitch BGAs.
For .8mm pitch BGA's we use no clean. Cannot remove the flux residue from

Hi Mike,
I think you will find misregistration kills this lay-up method for higher
layer count panels. It comes down to basic physics - material expansion,
prepreg flow, thermal variations in the lam stack that some thing has to
maintain registration during the lamination process. I've heard of a shop
in Az (Phoenix or Chandler) that uses rivet lay-up for 10 layers or less and
the more reliable 4-pin lay-up for higher layer counts (12+ layers). (Can't
remember the name off the top of my head.) What you're describing is a step
up from mass lamination. What registration are you trying to maintain? Why
not switch to the standard 4 pin lay-up? What kind of press cycle/lam book
do you run?

Subject: [TN] MLB - spotwelding
We constructed our own machine for spotwelding mlb lay-ups prior
to pressing. It works fine for 6 and 8 layers (standard FR4 thin
laminates and prepreg). However, for higher layer counts especially
12 layers we seem often to loose internal layer / layer registration.
Could anyone kindly suggest a set of operating parameters
(temperature / pressure / time etc) to give more reliable welds for
higher layer counts. Pressed thickness about 1.6mm. Panel sizes
are relatively small - 14" x 11" would be typical, with 3 welds on
each long side about 4" apart.
The welder heads have a round flat point 10mm diameter and
existing settings are as follows:
Air pressure on the 16mm dia. welder cylinders is 5.5 bar, head
temperatures are controlled at 280C and weld timer set at 90 sec.
Any other input on this subject will also be welcome.
Thanks,
Mike Holst

Pete: A few things to consider.
1. Even though you say the nickel is not passivated how do you know for sure
that it is not? Whether you are running an automated or manual line there
could be delays in transfer time between nickel activation - rinse - copper
plate that could occasionally lead to passivatioin of the surface of the
nickel. See if there are certain cycles or timing issues that could cause
this.
2. What are you using for nickel activation chemistry? Is the time, temp,
chemical concentration and bath life correct and being properly maintained?
You could be on the edge of the window on one or a combination of these that
causes the problem to intermittently show up.
3. Are your rinse water temps too hot causing premature drying of the part
during transfer? Are they too cold causing insufficient rinsing of the
previous chemistry resulting in contamination of down stream baths and on
the surface of the part?
4. Is the electrolytic copper rectification working properly? Delays in
applying current or insufficient or excessive current can cause adhesion
problems. In the same vein high or low current density areas can result in
the same type of problem.
5. Check your copper bath for excessive organics.

Mary Jane wisely asks:
I wanted to present this question out to the experts; What do you think
about the validity of using water soluble flux with BGAs? Do you see a
"residue" issue? Thanks.
Doug Pauls, now way overdosed on Dew, replies:
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyybe.
What water soluble flux?
What reflow method? Vapor phase, IR reflow, laser, hot gas?
What cleaning process?
Adding anything to the water?
In-line or batch cleaning?
Itty bitty BGAs or big-honkin' BGAs??
Full array or perimeter array?
What standoffs?
Are your boards clean going into it?
What do you mean by residue?
What end use environment?
What reliability requirements?
What is the service life of the product?
What are the consequences of failure?
Are you underfilling the BGA?
Why does the other line always move faster?
Is giving a year's supply of Captain Crunch cereal to my nieces a fitting
revenge on my sister?
I should probably stop now. Too much Dew. Definitely too much Dew!!

Hans,
Thanks for the info. When I read the quote your provided, it seems to me
that it only speaks to protecting 100% metal surfaces (like Phil's bicycle
chains). I would NOT take this to mean component leads or contact with
non-metal items like component bodies and circuit boards. Is this how you
all read it?
Bev

Hi ya Charlie!
Alox 2028D is covered under MIL-C-81309 Type 3 Class 1 . It's an avionic
grade "soft film" used to temporarily prevent corrosion when shipping
components (up to 1 month) . The Navy uses this stuff. A website:
http://www.ciaci.com/aloxcorporation.htm
<http://www.ciaci.com/aloxcorporation.htm> (although some of it is in
Brazilian I think).
I can see why you'd be concerned.
Hans
MIL-C-81309E
MILITARY SPECIFICATION
CORROSION PREVENTIVE COMPOUNDS, WATER DISPLACING,
ULTRA-THIN FILM
6.1 Intended use. The ultra-thin film, corrosion preventive compounds
covered by this specification are intended for use on any metal surface. It
can be used both for initial protection during shipment and storage and for
in-service treatment. It should not be used around liquid oxygen fittings.
The ability of these materials to prevent corrosion and to displace water
and their ease of application when packaged as class 2 (pressurized spray
cans) make them particularly suited for service use. These materials are
intended for indoor protection and short term protection outdoors where
surfaces can be recoated when required. These materials are not intended as
a substitute for other corrosion preventatives specified for protection of
surfaces for periods of more than one month.

Subject: Re: [TN] Alox 2028D
I fully agree with Phil. Surely they jest! Naphtha and trimethylbenzene
have reasonably high boiling points but they are still flammable solvents
and should be treated with respect. The latter has reported mutation
effects in lab animals (not specifically chemists). "Hydrocarbon" is very
broad, but usually means a cut or two above naphtha on the distillation
column. I would be concerned about higher boiling residues creeping into
switches, connectors; their effects on some of the cheaper plastics and
their really good ability to "suck" airborne dusts onto the circuit pack.
As far as the wax, which I presume is what they actually want to put on
their product, they might as well get my grandmother to melt some jam wax in
a double boiler and just pour it on their boards - just kidding!

Subject: [TN] Alox 2028D
One of my customers has
selected the Alox 2028D for use as a protective coating on their CCAs.
Can anyone share any info on the benefits of this product (if any) in
electronic packaging?
It is mainly Naptha, Trimethylbenzen, hydrocarbon and parrafin wax.
Described as a metalworking fluid additive.
I can envision a lot of problems with wash chemistry incompatibility,
insolubility and rinse water treatment etc.
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks

I am burning the midnight Guinness at the moment after finishing a
particularly difficult assignment - writing a PWB (PCB in Europe) test
strategy from scratch.
I know this is not a chatroom, but I sincerely wish to thank all those who
assisted by responding to my first mail to the forum.
In particular "Peter (ST Aero)", Seth Goodman, 'Paul', Charlie McMahon and
Bill Raymond who's website link proved invaluable.
I will be a regular reader of all mails to the forum whether they affect my
immediate (work related) concerns or not.
Thanks also to IPC for setting up such a needed, specific forum ;- your
standards and documentation may be a little 'wishy washy' to the experts,
but to a grunt like me they are the only standard!
Moonman, what's your buzz?
Sir Groove to you!

Bev,
I wonder how this stuff would react during an SIR test? (Keep the fire
extinguisher handy!!!)
I don't think I would like to power up a unit with this stuff on it!

Subject: Solder Paste - When is Ambient Temperature Reached?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
TechNetters,
I'm wondering if anyone can give me an idea of the amount of time needed for
a jar of solder paste to reach ambient temperature once it is removed from
refrigerated storage. The container is 90 mm tall and 80 mm in
circumference. The net weight is 1 kilogram, and the product is stored in a
40 degree F environment. Our facility consistently ranges from 70 to 72
degrees.
I understand condensation will form if opened prior to reaching room temp.
I had planned to insert a thermometer into the middle of the jar to get an
actual reading, but I also really hate to waste an expensive jar of paste to
perform such a simple experiment.
Thanks in advance for your input!

I don't have a source for your flip tables, but we used to use lots of those
tables with mass lead cutters. Maybe a mass lead cutter supplier can give
you a lead. [Is that too may uses of the word "lead"?] Try:
