A) The standoff height of some uBGA components does not allow water to penatrate under the component. B)Water soluable may dilute the flux and not remove it all together. This can be tested with Ion Chromatography. C) Water soluable in some cases ne

Some of this was copped from Fred. There are numerous package types that now fall under the rubric of land grid array [LGA]. Land grid devices [ie, Bumped Chip Carrier� [BCC], LGA, Quad Flat-pack No-lead [QFN], MicroLeadFrame�, etc] are essentially

If you are 100% sure that the solder has reflowed (time and temp based), then just use an wood stick to wedge the part upwards. It just takes a little bit of "lift". I used a wooden Q-Tip end that I trimmed to a wedge using an exacto blade. Wait f

| What is the best way to re-ball a BGA? Who has the best system for doing it? | To RE-Ball an IC you must re-BALL the IC! The idea of using a stencil to deposit all of the appropriate solder mass can not work. Here is the process (minus the app

olks, got one for you. What is the feeling on reusing SMT components that you have removed from an assembled PCBA? For example, you place your IC's and they are 180 deg out, you have to remove them.... but what about refiting the same devices? Are t

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

| We had some failures on an IC package that the manufacturer has put down to moisture inside the package, leading to popcorning. | This seems a bit odd, the package is a PLCC 84 which is quite thick. I have only seen this problem on thin packages. |
