Ditto, we just went through this with a customer "fitting" our boards into a card cage. Mechanical stress/flexing.

Chrys Shea has published extensively on stencil materials, coatings and paste release mechanisms. Many of the papers are available to download on her website. Just search for Shea Engineering Services. I've worked with Chrys in the past, she is defin

| Looking for articles/data comparing the quality/reliability of mass | reflowed SMT solderjoints versus hand soldered SMT solderjoints. As solder joint quality most often is subjective - that is visually compared with graphic examples, IPC is the B

Yes, I am currently using Viromet 347 at the moment for my SMT lines. 100-150, 35 sec 150-207, 40 sec 207-above, 80 sec peak temp: 225 deg C. It is compatible to SAC paste in term of solderability and wettability. But in term of mechanical property (

The UFP was a designation for "ultra-fine-pitch"; but, for the most part, you should be able to get the same placements out of both machines. Anything 0402 or above can be mechanically centered. The UFP machine will lean on optical centering for .5

We agree with "guest" above. This a "chip bonder" type material used to improve the reliability of array type devices. "A relative comparison of the N50 values is given below: No underfill = 1.0X (baseline) Corner bond = 1.3X Non reworkable underfi

| Does anyone have any experience with vibration testing of BGA packages and assemblies? We are starting to design BGA's into some of our products and we have not found very much information on vibrational test results. Any information will be help

We are working to upgrade our BGA Rework Systems to place BGA's up to 150mm in size. We are encountering an issue that I wanted to pose to this group. When we get above 50mm in chip size, which is the field of view for the vision systems Prism, the

James, if you want to get a circuit board wet, then any cleaner will do. Tighter componentry and BGAs are different. Even if you submerge a BGA, the surface underneath it will not be effected. Thus you need to force the chemistry mechanically unde

The solder joints might hook up but my opinion is you'll end up with mechanically weak joints that could fail over time. If your trying to get your Xbox back on-line at home I'd try it but not if your charging $ to fix it for someone else or re-work
