Thx. There is not enough of mfg trick to compensate half hearted design.

By the way, there are non-collapsing balls available for Pb-free as well---they are just not made of solder.

If, say 5% - 20% collapse should be achieved by reflow, anything else, such as cte mismatch or pcb warpage would attributed to the bad design (I.e. Un balensed board, selected wrong pcb material) if such acceptable guideline can not be established, it would be a finger pointing game. As much as I like the computer game (hehehe), but not any "finger pointing" type. , -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry ----- Original Message ----- From: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Mon Mar 01 23:31:01 2010 Subject: Re: [TN] BTC rework, Square SJs Hi Joyce, No such valid shortcut--why not do the analysis? Or better yet, hire me. Maybe it is time for Bev to bring me up for a workshop. But it is really not that difficult.

However, the old Pb rich ball solder to the board using eutectic can be ensure the proper stand off achieved. At current lead free, there is a little attention being paid to achieve the proper standoffs. As for the good workmanship and process, regardless the size and cte mismatch, should ipc establish a proper guideline, if not spec for establish % collapse of ball standoff requirements? Rather than depends upon individual case of cte, parts? I have seen some squarches bga joints almost look like LGAs. Sure it is not "good". Can't wait for rel data to establish each of them. Can so guru come out a number that universally acceptable? At least meet the "intend of the design" in term of reliability. Any takers? -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry ----- Original Message ----- From: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Mon Mar 01 19:09:37 2010 Subject: Re: [TN] BTC rework, Square SJs Joyce, That depends on the reliability you want to achieve, the package size, the delta-CTE and the cyclic delta-T.

Werner -----Original Message----- From: Chris Mahanna <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Mon, Mar 1, 2010 12:15 pm Subject: [TN] BTC rework, Square SJs Are square joints simply due to the small mass of the components, or is it possibly an indicator of insufficient heat? We have no indication that any of the paste didn't flow. Wetting looks good. All evidence is from microsection.
