| | | | I'm having a fun time between BGA rework/repair using an SRT 1000 and SPC efforts (much easier) using DEK stencil printing processes and BTU reflow with 6 Fuji lines in between. | | | | Concerning the BGA stuff, I'm getting about 60% succes

| Hello: | I would like to know what causes tombstombing and how can it be prevented? | Thx. | Nichol Hi Nichol! A tombstone happens when solder doesn't wet equally on both terminations during reflow...now why that happens can be found by looking at

| What exactly is the criteria needed to determine the right solder paste. I have been fortunate enough in the past to have a solder paste work "halfway" for me and to modify the reflow profile or simply just "drop in" a paste and monkey with the pro

Just wanted to add a few comments on the discussion of how to identify palladium parts. Generally, there is no "clear-cut" way to identify Pd versus Sn/Pb. It mainly comes with experience. Any part that is is plated prior to being trim/formed will

| I have a problem! The solder on my pc boards look great comeing out | of my reflow oven. They go thrue the rest of the prossese | and at the end at the qc station it's cold or whitish or gray not shiny. | does any one have a idea on how to correct

WOW!!! How do people get these coo toys? Comments are: * IPC-7530 is not a specification. It is merely a guideline. [IPC-7530 �Guidelines for Temperature Profiling for Mass Soldering (Reflow and Wave)�] * What makes you say a 20-micron intermetall

Individual process steps are approximately the same length of time for reworking a BGA. You seem to be comparing the use of the automated SMT line versus an off line rework station. Consider that the off line station is a complete paste print, pick

Very strange question,but interesting.Is there anyone who have conducted any experiments to figure out the results?I made a profile board,one thermal couple on pad and other one drilled into the ball of BGA.the 2 points are perpendicular to conveyor

We process a double-side reflow board (10 ups). Chips and IC's on the bottom side while chips, IC's plus thru-hole connectors and IC sockets on top side (bottom side first then top side reflow). In the past, we were not encountering any soldering pro
