Has anyone had (successful) experience placing testpoint vias under BGAs? We already have conventional vias, but we're contemplating converting them into testpoints (probably by enlarging the bottom-side copper diameter to .036" and opening the bott

When using a foam fluxer: 1. Bubble size is important. What stones are you using? Ever clean them? Too large a bubble will NOT help your situation. (I forget bubble size range....check with your fluxer mfgr.) 2. Thinner will help in capilary m

Cellular and PDA architectures employ this technology all the time. You have to be careful with your board supplier as well as with your plugging approach. Leave the via unplugged, I guarantee voids in the solder joint. That leaves us with, "how d

Answers: The component does take solder, no problem We get a full barrel fill with an empty PCB but only on one of the holes, the other hole has so much copper around it. The flux reached the top of the PCB when I tested the empty PCB. The IPC-A-610

It sounds like you already know the answer. Hand soldering is much more stressful to a board than mass soldering, because: * It is more localized and there is no preheat. * It is more difficult to control. [Different connections require different h

After some precursory experimentation, I am planing on employing a form of low melting temp solder for use in reworking some very dense, copper core PCB's, both SMT and THT, which were originally mounted with 63/37 solder. The main problem with the
