You have a lot to think about! What does the flux manufacturer recommend as far as specifics like water temp or pressure? Do they recommend high temp di-water a detergent or saponifier? Do you currently have a cleaning machine, batch cleaner or inl

I agree, the flux will probably burn off before it gets to do its job. Def not a good idea....

wats the thickness of your board.. and the dimension.. I would not heat the board beyond 150deg C.. coz if the board is thick and large.. it will take a long time to reach that temp..and you will burn off your flux.causing poor solder joint. Ind

If the flux you are applying by brush is alcohol based, use some alcohol on a few failed PCBs and retest. It souldn't take a lot of flux to reflow the balls to a pad that's already covered with solder and flux from the first BGA - unless you are cle

Thanks davef Bridging:- There is no heat sink on the BGA, the heat sink will be fix after relow. I do believe paste had something to do with it, but currently this defect didn't appear so oftenly, so we think that the main root cause is not from the

You need a paste designed specifically for this. They are available. Most have 2% silver in them and higher temp flux so you can reflow at "no-lead" temps. The silver aids in the intermaetalic bond and the high temp flux allows you to reflow the n

Kester R562 is a 63/37 paste. Not ideal for no-lead parts. I bet you are seeing no-lead BGAs and they will become very weak using your old proile and paste (been there - done that). You can try a hotter profile but will probably just burn off your

Steve, You are correct in that X-Ray image of a BGA will not show flux residue. So what? If you are using no clean flux then I would think it doesn't matter if there is some flux residue. Sure if you are reworking a BGA and the operator dumps t

1. SRT has been recently calibrated - problem is too many hands in the machine and careless mistakes. The profile is good and has been recently checked by a fellow from Genrad. 2. We are relying on the left over solder from the previous joint and

Here's the BGA voids-reduction profile that I used: http://img323.imageshack.us/my.php?image=profileka0.jpg Keep in mind, this was for Sn/Pb BGA with Sn/Pb solder paste. For your situation, you might want to raise the peak temperatures to at least
