Would like to ask end users or those with experience using infra red rework equipment (specifically when the top heater is IR) the following: 1. Can you successfully rework Package On Package (PoP) type devices? With heat directed through the packa

We successfully clean WS flux on 1mm and 1.25mm pitch BGA. For 0.8mm pitch BGA, we use no clean, because we cannot remove the flux residue from under them efficiently. Use ion chromatography testing to be sure it is clean under the BGA. IC is the on

What a challenge! I think it all depends on the equipment used. Seems rereflow of BGA isn�t that good (see the advices for wavesoldering BGA populated boards). Although you might check for the tacking force by sending a sample BGA board head over thr

Youch! I know this is going to sound stupid but.... I have done it in the past in limited quantities. We placed capton (polyimide) tape at each of the four corners for a similar situation. It did work but the operator has to be careful in placing

Rob, Don't know if you bought an "H" tower with your UP or not. You did you can have a dedicated support plate made from Aluminum that has pockets machined out to match components on the bottom of the board. (Most of the workholder guys can set you

You're entirely correct. The gold is most likely gone away. [Don't forget you can check if the surface is still solderable with a hand soldering iron.] We're not sure it it will give you the results you seek, but consider using a dye penetrant fai

Larry, Yes, no matter how much you�d like to avoid using NC, you probably will have to start using the stuff, if the design [sales, in your case] types have their way. We can clean WS under 1mm and 1.25mm pitch BGA. For 0.8mm pitch BGA, we use NC.

| Have an SRT w/preheat, 18 layer board all copper, 456 BGA needs to be removed and replaced. The manufacturer is Chip Express and during reflow it warps up or down. Causing either opens or shorts on the corners. I was using gel flux with multiple

First, what on the area array package are you analyzing � * Package cracking? * Cracked solder balls? * Er, what? Second, most failure analysis discussions consider dye penetration to be a non-destructive test, but then again most failure analysis
