We use SMBJ5.0A - D0214A package component in our products.During production recently we have identified a seroius problem. The problem is, After reflow soldering the impedance becomes more / lesser and due to which the product does not work since th

Has the board been looked at under X-Ray? Have you built more than 1 of the boards in question? Do any of the other boards have the same problem? Have you made any changes to the profile between boards? One side of the BGA collapsing during reflow w

"Unfortunately breakaways aren't an option - they are large boards and we already have problems hand placing components and probing them." Not sure what this means in this context....if you frame the perimeter with a 1/2" border on a V-score, how do

We have an outdated Metcal rework station and are thinking about purchasing a new one. We need something that has heat profile capability. We don't really need anything automated, just something that's affordable, durable, and gets the job done. Does

There must be discussions about this on SMTnet but I have yet to find them. I would like to hear from all you smart people about running LF and PB BGA�s on the same board using 63/37 solder. If you run your profile up to peak at around 225C +/- (nitr

Couple of points: * We'll tell ya, although it's tough to tell from these pix, but it does not look like dewetting. It looks like nonwetting. * We don't think you're getting this product hot enough. We don't know where you measured the profile you po

Hey Daniel, N2 gas provides an inert atmosphere which help to minimise oxidation, generally a concern across the reflow zone. Although N2 provides a more shiny solder joint, it is certainly more of a cosmetic issue and does not certify joint reliabil

What is your squeegee pressure and size. Also does the pad sit on a ground plane, as it looks like it is partially reflowed so surface has gone but not coallesced properly which would indicate it is more a problem with reflow above 217-219C OR obviou

I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to clean oxides off of fine pitch components? Apparently the paste we use does not have strong enough flux to remove the oxides off of the leads of the components. I have validated the profile and that i

Thanks Sir Dave. Yeah my apologies. To clarify, we built the product PCB whcih has a Lead-Free HASL Finish using a Sn63/Pb37 Solder paste. My major concern regarding reliability is that my profile whish is between 215'C-225'C was insufficient to ref
