CMOS Camera Market
Camera Module Terminal Soldering VCM Terminal Contacts
VCM Camera Module Terminal Soldering 1. Gap Between FPCB and Pad < 200um (for better wettability on VCM and Gold Pad) Solder 2. Length of FPCB > 600UM (for better solder flow without housing burning issues) Gold Pad 3. Width of Pad with angle Tolerance > 200UM ( for 300 450um solder ball) Figure above shows the best case for Camera Module bonding
Soldering Quality of Terminal Bonding Picture above shows good solder wettability on Gold Pad and VCM. Solder covered 100% of the pad and 90% of the pin. 400µm Solder ball size was used (SAC 305) without flux.
Camera Module Bonding with 600µm solder balls Reliable wetting on the pre-soldered ground pad as well as on the titanium pin. No burnings or discoloration of the epoxy material around the solder connection, pad or pin. Minimized influence of alternating quality of the pre-soldered ground pad, with 600µm solder spheres.
