With tacky flux, the BGA is not as reliable as one that was never repaired. I believe Dave stated that the higher offset may have something to do with it. Also with tacky flux, the ball collapse form side to side varies a bit. Sometimes a ball(s)

Again, the verdict is mixed here as well, but from the seminars, white papers, etc. the consensus seems to be that Pb BGA's are not compatible in a Pb-Free RoHS Process...but... Pb-Free SAC BGA's are compatible in a Sn-Pb process as long as your pro

I have tried just about everything avalible for BGA inspection on the market. We use X-ray which is great, even through we have a 5-d machine, I use my 2-d unit most often. We also have the expensive scope that lets you look completely through under

Hi Folks, Hope yous can help. I'm having a problem when reworking (placing) 40mil BGAs. One side seems to be collapsing more so that the other, resulting in the outer row of balls not properly reflowing and making the connection. This is only happeni

BGA defects observed with x-ray inspection fall into catagories. One catagory is the obvious defects; i.e. soledr bridges, missing balls, excessive solder voids. The second catagory is the more subtle "potential" defect. This is where variations in

I would ditto CAL, we have a jewel box 90 with the 5 axis and we love it. I really like being able to tilt,rotate,and move side to side front to back, Angle viewing under a BGA can be very informative as to the quality of reflow in seeing ball coll

A 1:1 pad to ball diameter will cause the balls to collapse more giving you less post solder component standoff. Depending on the application of this product and required reliability, you may want to stay with the padstack being used. You may try c

Just to add to my comments,solder joint voids do occur in LGA. Voids in LGA can be larger due to geometry and greater ratio of flux to solder. IPC-A-610D specifies a greater than 25% voided area is a defect for BGA, however, it does not specify the d

Yes, I have. think I have pretty good reflow profile. We use Lead-Free,No-Clean,SAC305 Solder Paste. The problem is at LGA design.The pad size is alot bigger than BGA. They are totally flat and do not have balls/spheres which melted and collapsed thr

Nice pix. The pebbly texture that you're seeing is aptly called "orange peel". Temperature appears to significantly influence the appearance of solder spheres during soldering. Indeed, when the reflow temperature is high, tin continues smelting long
