Improper washing of water soluable flux residues can be a major contributor to flux residues remaining on the board surface. ;-O That you appear to be only complaining about the pathetic state of the ability of your washer to clean under BGA, it may

| I think that in general it's best to deposit paste in order to increase the part standoff. This helps improve the fatigue-life of the joints by providing more strain relief. But I know from experience that it's tough to deposit paste during the r

My customer made a process change to overcome a design flaw. The PCB assembly mounts in a plastic housing. The PCB mounts to the front housing via plastic stand-offs. They had to change a connector on the back side of the assembly due to long term

I know there are a ton of variables that affect the overall height of a BGA after soldering to a PWB but... I'd like to know if anyone has done an analysis of (or if it's documented) as to what the pre and post reflow height dimension as measured fr

As a band-aid, consider running your chip wave when soldering these boards [Similar to Cals "dance with me babe" suggestion.] If the problem is as broad based as you say and the radial components have a tight fit, consider increasing the holes by a

I might start with the equivalent 4 or 5 mil stencil and 1:1 on the apertures. If voids are too prevalent, then I would tin the pads of the device, remove the solder, and then solder as above. You may have another hurdle, in that the resulting stan

Give us infortmation, please. What is [are]: * Height board to board side of the interposer on the low side of uBGA * Height board to board side of the interposer on the high side of uBGA * Alloy of solder balls, no paste was used correct? * Type of

Hello jdumont, I think the spheres are leaning as there is not enough meat under the spheres. In ceramic BGA devices there is a solder fillet which is generally a solder paste which is used to give the device some height before balling it. This heig

There is equipment available to clean NC residues off low standoff devices, well below 0.8mm (0.031"), from Speedline Technologies- Electrovert and Accel. See this paper under Accel: "High Reliability Underfill Performance through Proper Flip-Chip D

I am working on an application requiring removing BGAs from a board coated with parylene. These BGAs have low standoff with less than 0.015" after SMT soldering. Can some comment on a reliable and consistent process to perform such rework? given tha
