Vick I would not think what your seeing is normal. Just guessing without a profile but.... - not reaching peak temperature - not enough soak time or mild ramp to burn away the flux - shortened TAL, not allowing proper time for the solder to wet - lo

I think Sr is right. Miss prints are prolly a result of your tooling moving the board after the camera looks at the fids. It also could be the camera itself hitting the board from warpped board or tooling raising the board up. It may be the camera

What is the solder finish of the board?. If this is gold, maybe you should check the reflow profile and max temperature which can easely kill your gold coating so problems with bonding. Also we are using Prozone Multicore with ultrasonic to clean

We also use machinists dye. I like to pull a vacuum on the board after wicking the dye under the BGA. It seems to help fill fine cracks. I'll stick it in a warm oven if I'm in a hurry for the dye to dry. Then just bend the board to pop off the BGA.

You also need to understand when using something like a Q Cutter you should resolder the board after you cut! Your alternative is to get someting that when you put your part in it cuts and clinces the part. Contact Systems makes machines that present

Need your opinion guys.. The old timers at the plant here feel that we should clean our board after Misprints withe the solvent cleaner over water wash. This is so they don't have to rebake the pcb for 24 hours before smt again. I don't believe th

Layer 2 is the ground plane layer of a 4 layer board. After installing a 2.5 mm DC power jack and 0.1 center SIP header by hand, the ground pin disconnects and causes an open. My board supplier said they passed Electrical Test. Prepreg was within

Graham, When performing such a temperature variation test, do you attach the thermocouples so that they are in contact with the PCB's pads or are they reading the air temperature? If they are attached to the PCB, I take it you reposition the board

We just stepped into the inline wash world with a techical devices new clean galaxy plus. We are noticing a significant amount of foaming when washing our boards after selective solder. One theory is that the water soluble flux used is not being cu

Hi Ben, Yes, this could be the reason but have you ever seen solderability issues for (new) boards with LF-HAL surface finish? I have seen this only if there are surface finish quality issues for bare boards (exposed copper etc.). In this case we di
