Why BGA soldering ball always crack(4)? Using "copper" base material as the surface finish for PCB
Following last discussion, we learned that solder cracking is caused when the stress placed upon it exceeds the strength of the bonding force. However, it’s possible to address this issue by increasing the bonding force of the printed circuit board … Continue reading
