I have used both the QX2 and BGA3500 hot air rework system from Metcal; both are great systems; the QX2 is a very simple system for leaded devices, easily trained and very inexpensive compared to SRT, Air Vac, and Conceptronics. The BGA3500 works on

Here is some general things I usually ask myself when having trouble with BGA's What type of BGA ? Pitch/Bump Dia etc. Smaller bumps sizes & tighter pitches require more attention. This also impacts stencil aperature design & paste selection. Was

Contractor mantra: * Profile is good * Boards are bad On profiles, the key question is: where did you take the profile? We�d guess cracked connections are giving the intermittent test results when pressing on the components. You use acoustic micro

Hi: We are about to build a batch of highly critical control cards with 5 BGA on them. We just recently had a significantly bad yield at our subcontractor in the San Jose area. We feel it is in the reflow profile that was used but are not 100% sur

8" ). For calculation of the theta angle, the global fiducials should be placed over the diagonal. Component recognition can be improved if your vision system has different light zones. The steep light should be turned off and the flat light turned

Steve, Seriously we really do that much. Don't know much about your stuff but our designs typically have as much as five 144 pin QFPs on each CCA. Boards are small and double sided with BGA and uBGA. We build some high reliability space stuff and w

Hi, What contributes to the above? I've got some BGA solder joints with a crystal like flux attached to it like a mini solder ball but do not have a perfect round shape. I had my aqueous cleaner's DI water sent for analysis and everything looks okay

Interesting!. They don't look like voids as usual meanings. The "voids" take the whole size of pads. We built millions of BGA, never seen those before. Look like the pads refused to connect with solder paste and pushed the paste away. Pads contaminat

I have several boards built at various CM's. We have prototype builds with some JTAG failures on BGA's (1-3 failures with qty 3, 1500 pin BGA's). CM's always claim reflow profiles look good. X-ray does not show bridges and they claim it looks good, b

greetings all Does anybody have any methods or recomendations for removing/reducing excessive voiding in BGAs that are already on board? Had a bad lot of paste and I believe that we are seeing some opens due to very large voids. Any and all input
