Acceptable Rate for Head in Pillow?
Acceptable Rate for Head in Pillow?
We have rejects in 2-3 per 15,000 PCBs that look like Head in Pillow. Should we tinker with the reflow process, or is this reject rate acceptable?

Predicting Mid-Chip Solder Balling
Predicting Mid-Chip Solder Balling
Is there a calculation that can be used to predict solder balling? We would like to design our stencil apertures to ensure no mid-chip solder balls. The Assembly Brothers, Jim Hall and Phil Zarrow, discuss design suggestions to prevent solder balling.

We Bake, But Still Have Delamination, Why?
We Bake, But Still Have Delamination, Why?
When our PCBs are wave soldered and then pass through reflow most had issues with delamination. Where should we look to solve this?
