Demonstration of BGA rework via stencil printing. BEST's StikNPeel stencil is an adhesive backed stencil which allows users to stick the stencil in to place and simply peel it off the PCB with a temporary adhesive system. This leaves consistent print

Purpose: Compare the Surface Insulation Resistance of reworked BGA Test samples made with standard solder balls using a flux only reattachment and samples made including the StencilQuik™ product from Best Inc. with solder balls using a flux only reattachment.

Eliminate hours of solder mask damage repair time for bga sites while improving rework yield. Are you frustrated by the time it takes to repair mask damage underneath the BGA during the rework process? Are you squeezed for space on the PCB in an

The rapid assimilation of Ball Grid Array (BGA) and other Area Array Package technology in the electronics industry is due to the fact that this package type allows for a greater I/O count in a smaller area while maintaining a pitch that allows for ease of manufacture.

While experienced inspectors may be able to determine the aesthetic differences between a lead-free PCB assembly and a tin-lead version, one cannot rely on the "experienced eye". "Less wetting out to the pad edges" (Figure A) and "graininess and lack of shininess of the solder joint" (Figure B) are typical comments about some lead-free solder joints. However, in cases where a Nitrogen atmosphere was present during the reflow of the solder joint (Figure C), there will be little visual differences between the lead free alloys and their tin-lead counterparts.
StencilQuik demonstration video. This breakthrough method allows you to simplify placement/replacement saving 50% or more of time required to rework BGAs or CSPs.This is a well developed BGA rework method. More on the StencilQuik(TM) process here:

The goal of this project is to evaluate the reliability of lead-free BGA solder joints with a variety of different pad sizes using several different BGA rework methods. These methods included BGAs reworked with both flux only and solder paste attachment techniques and with or without the use of the BEST stay in place StencilQuick™. The daisy chained test boards were placed into a thermal test chamber and cycled between -25ºC to 125ºC over a 30 minute cycle with a 30 minute dwell on each end of the cycle. Each BGA on the board was wired and the continuity assessed during the 1000 cycles the test samples were in the chamber.
