Russ, first step would be to get IPC-7095 on BGAs. A few notes: There can be voids in solder balls, or at the solder joints to the BGA, or at the solder joints to the PCB. Various sources or reasons can be responsible for these voids. Voids can be

I have already told you that is not possible solve this problem by e-mail, without perform a detailed failure analysis. Also I have told you to procede by exclusion. Are you sure, by tests, regarding the PCB quality ? Are you sure regarding the solde

I am looking into Vapor Phase with Vacuum and Inline Reflow with Vacuum (besides Heller I believe a German company SMT has something comparable). There are a couple of companies I found that make vacuum ovens for soldering of hybrid microelectronics

Hi, I think you cannot go wrong with Convection. If you want to experiment with VP, just get some of the fluid and put it into a pasta cooker on a standard domestic hot plate. Have a basin full of cold water so after reflow you can lift the cooker a

Hello everyone, Talking to my boss today I was able to determine what we're really looking for in terms of reflow soldering. The company is not looking to do a volume run; we're trying to solder chips for prototype boards, which are currently done w

I have been using Vapor Phase for about 5 years. We just started building our first BGA and the reflow profile is the same as most SMT assembly.We build PWA that are 25 layers thick with 0.050 heat sinks. We have done some preliminary X ray and BG

I worked for a medical instrument manufacturer a few years ago and we had to calibrate all measurement devices. That included everything from our vapor phase oven's thermocouples to 6 inch steel rulers. I don't see any logical justification if you'

Major advance: Productionization of SMT. Minor advances: * Realization and control of solder paste characteristics * Vision alignment controls in printers. * Evolution from mechanical centering [through laser alignment controls] to vision alignment
