Good Morning, I have seen many posts regarding BGA voiding being excessive and what can be done to better the condition. I have a customer that has an assembly that we have had a diufficult time with. We have spent a lot of time debugging the proces

Sounds like a part problem. You can SOMETIMES over come this with a hotter profile. We see this a lot with brokered parts. Seems like a lot of people are rejecting parts because a lot of companies haven't perfected their RoHS process, yet produce

I almost forgot; If the pcb have HASL (Non RoHS) surface finish, then big fine pitch QFP:s could be shifted during reflow, beacuse of the un-even pad-surface... We have been trough that scenario also... But step No.1 is to make sure that the componen

Apoligies Steve if I did not explain myself clearly. We have made the same design using the same RoHs compliant components (which I am assured by the suppliers are process temperature capable) with both lead and lead free solder. Without wishing to

Although greatly publicized and many papers on the subject, I wish to hear experiences from the field from professionals who have migrated from SnPb wave soldering to PbFree wave soldering. I am being pushed by one of my largest clients, an internati

Hello, I'm having problems with voiding on an assembly that has a GPS hybrid with balls much like a BGA. This is a RoHS assembly using no-clean solder (Kester EM907). The voids are at or above 25%. I use an 8 zone oven where I peak in zone 7 and

Hello, I have been recently bringing a new RoHS wave soldering machine into production. Unfortunately, I am finding many of the boards are experiencing blow holes. It is always silver plated PCBs and I believe it is related to moisture ingress. I n

I purchased, ran, programmed, and maintained a RPS slide for a number of years and can't say that I had any major complaints about it. It ran well as long as it was maintained well (which is no different than any other SS I've worked on). Support w

It is not OK to use leadfree BGA's with a lead process. Other parts "should" be reverse compatable. But I first saw problems over 5 years ago with Paladium leads and a lead process. Don't confuse saying "it's ok to use lead free parts in a leaded p
