Here's some notes from IPC APEX 2015: * Black underfill is Heraeus. It needs to be preheated to 180-200*C for rework. Above 200*C it changes state and becomes difficult. * Clear underfill is from an unknown Korean supplier. * People from Heraeus w

Hello Ron, Successful removal of an underfilled BGA requires the use of a reworkable underfill, which Zymet manufactures. For more information on such products, send an inquiry to info@zymet.com. Regards, Carol

The melting point of the solder itself does not change when you have underfill. If the underfill conducts heat better than air, it will take less heat (and/or less time) from your rework station to get the solder up to the melting point. That makes

With heat, most underfills soften just before the solder melts. So, keep poking the underfill until you see it soften. Then, wait just the correct amount of time until the solder melts and quickly snap or torque the part from the board. BR davef

This is true but even the so called reworkable underfill takes a lot of effort. We use a loctite reworkable that requires heat to soften the underfill. Once the component is removed we use acetone and a swab to scrub the pcb clean. This can be very t

My company is researching the use of re-workable underfill for use on our avionics boards. We are currently testing Hysol UF3810. The Rework machine we use has a vacuum based removal system witch isn't strong enough to overcome the underfill. We have

It's not underfill is it? Sorry, but i don't know what is underfill, if you mean BGA, yes it is BGA !also sorry for very very late reply

We are involved in a project for microBGA SAC rework. The pitch is 0.4mm and the devices are underfilled (softening 150C). The underfill comes off fairly easily but the pressure underneath the package as the underfill softens pushes up on the undersi
