Can someone quote chapter and verse if this is a rejectable anomaly. In IPC-A-600F, "Non-Conforming - Class 1, 2, & 3 No lift allowed from the laminate plane to the bottom surface at the end of the copper land, whether or not resin appears on the copper land off the board." Need judgment from the gurus as what that really mean and with photos to ensure the issue is well understood.

I think that that is rejectable to 6012. There appears to be an adiquate wrap of copper. Best regards, Paul Reid ________________________________ From: TechNet on behalf of Vladimir Igoshev.

The board had vias-in-pad (in essence PTHs overplated with Cu pads) under a BGA. After a thermal stress the pads were partially flitted due to cracked laminated underneath them. To me it's a recipe for disaster (like pad cratering after assembly). However, I saw nothing about it in IPC-6012. Did I just miss it? I'd really appreciate any contractive comments. -- Best regards, Vladimir Igoshev. PhD mailto:[log in to unmask] SENTEC Testing Laboratory Inc. 11 Canadian Road, Unit 7.
