Lets make it easy on the poor guy, some are correct, check you profile but remember one thing most do not apply, it is important to match the type of paste you are using with the style of oven and configuration. send a direct email and I will give so

Concerning the solder-balls, there are a few causes for this. Try to slow down your solder-speed (P.e 80cm/min). Can you measure temperature after the pre-heat zone? Are there also blow-holes in the joints? Personally I think there is some water in t

We use water soluble solder paste. When it gets a little dried out, can we add something to rejuvenate it? Liquid flux? We do not place components, just print and reflow the solderpaste so solderballs, spattering, and other issues like those are of

This may be worth checking out are you sure it is flux residue and not undercured plasicizers coming from solder resists due to the higher Lead Free temperatures killing the undercured resist, this causes many no faults found and bridging, solderball

Hello, I searched the forums and found little specific info on LGAs with interior lands. This is not a QFN with a center pad. This is a multi-row BGA without solderballs. I'm looking for recommendations on PCB land to part land ratio, stencil a

That is inherent issue with lead free, you may want to ask your customer to reconsider this specification, It was probably initiated during the pb days when an exposed pad could signify a reflow issue. Overprinting will give you solderballs and unle

Depends on the solder paste. If it has been on the stencil for 24h there is a good chance that the paste is destroyed. You can however check if it has not dried out too much by letting the stencil printer do a few strokes and see if the paste still h

easy, just dip the ICs on a very weak solution of Nitric Acid, by very weak I mean like drops of Fuming Nitric acid in a half full DI water beaker. Place the beaker on a Ultrasonic bath and dip/shake the ICs in the solution in 5~ 10 seconds only. You

Yes, unfortunately a lot of datasheets these days do not contain the temperature resistance to determine if it can handle the PIP application. In the past I have always used a 250 C at a min of 5 sec for the material. Also, the part should have sta

The dilemma with this is that the search in the archive is often not that enlighting as someone might hope. Fact is that each new question (and the answers as well) on old topics adds to the archive making it not better. Well, and than look for the r
