Plan Ahead for BGA Device Upgrades
BGA Socket Adapter Systems convert surface mount device packages to through-hole (pinned) assemblies, making it easy to plug and unplug SMT devices in the field or the test lab.

Maybe it's the thermocouple connection
If your thermal profiling readings seem inconsistent, the culprit could be your thermocouple attachment method. A recently conducted study revealed some interesting findings.

Inspecting DFN (Dual flat no lead) Packages

What are the requirements and how do we implement inspection process for DFN (Dual Flat No Lead) packages? Can this only be accomplished with x-ray?

Expert Panel Responses
Thinking of test from a structural perspective, this is a hidden joint and that makes it a viable candidate for x-ray inspection. X-ray inspection is perfect for hidden joints. That said, a good electrical solution would come with some of the advances in the in-circuit test arena. Agilent specifically has a new iVTEP solution that is less reliant on the leadframe (compared to Testjet/VTEP) to capactively couple to and therefore should be able to provide good opens coverage. Food for thought!
