Thanks Doctor - as always, you're right. I must've been typing with my mittens on. It's starting to get cold on this part of the planet these days. I wasn't blaming anyone, just trying to take a few questions marks away so "we're" left with the an

Thank you to Dave and Scott!! What I'm delaing with is mass production test for small memory cards in volume! The reason I choose Non-operating temperature cycling is so that I can deal with volume. I can throw in quite a few memory cards in chambe

| I saw the problem of void in solder bump or in lead less component or some BGA. But I didn't have standard specification of that void is accept or reject? Do any body have the better idea or suggestion of the criteria ? | | Thank you, | Wirat

Hi, I think you cannot go wrong with Convection. If you want to experiment with VP, just get some of the fluid and put it into a pasta cooker on a standard domestic hot plate. Have a basin full of cold water so after reflow you can lift the cooker a

Yes, this scenario is fine. However, BGAs are a different story since the ball is the bulk of the solder joint. In this case, you MUST run a "hybrid profile". Look it up in the fine SMTNet archives (keyword: hybrid profile). I have "been there an

Sr. Tech, you are right in that there is no verification of the profile. We are a Class 3 high mix OEM. We have visual inspection after SMT. We have not seen problems with wetting, grainy solder, cold solder, charred boards, etc. that would indicate

We evaluated the OM338 from Alpha and it worked great! Looked like crap, though, compared to the other products out there. When I set the boards out in front of the Alpha sales guy to show him the difference in appearance between his boards and the

| We are having a small number (~2%) of our boards pass our manufacturing diagnostics, fail once they reach the customer, fail when they get back to us and then start working again after handling them for a short time. We have eliminated a lot of it

| Necessity is the mother of invention... | | The other day I loaned my last bit of high-temp solder to a co-op and never saw it again. Then I had to run a profile and I was in a pickle with no solder. | | So I ran out to the local Radio Shack to
