SAC BGA in Pb Process

Electronics Forum | Mon Mar 29 16:33:29 EDT 2010 | mikesewell

SAC 305 liquidus is 219 C. A hybrid profile is often recommended with a peak of 230 C (reflow the SAC and not kill the Pb parts) with an extended liquidus of 60-90 sec to get good alloy diffusion. Or if the design (parts & pwb) can tolerate it go P

Moisture absorption in the solder paste

It could be you are drying out your solder paste. Most flux formulations are alcohol based and after a few hours can dry out. This can can lead to dewetting and solder balling as well. Especially if you do not homeplate your R's and C's. A simple

Thank's for the information Bob. I have another question, at the moment my peak reflow is at 218c, this means I am above the 210c a lot of companies run off. If I am building boards using SN63/37 solder paste with lead on my process, and using lead f

Have you tried higher peaktemp? I saw the QFP is sn90pb10, This has a liquidus of 268 - 302 C. A good paste should be able to handle 230C (or more), of course you would need to check your other components peak temp.

PCB & MSD Component baking oven

Electronics Forum | Fri Dec 03 04:11:47 EST 2010 | grahamcooper22

A baking oven over 100 C will be at zero humidity. Do you really need to store pcbs/devices at 200 C...this will surely harm some products ? IPC 33B01 allows storage of MSDs in a dry cabinet at less then 5%.....these can operate at room temp or 40 /

This was built and sold by Trek Industries. Several years ago, Stoelting purchased Trek. I believe the machine is now discontinued. I am not sure if they continue to provide support. Here is there contact information: PW STOELTING, L.L.C. A VOLLRATH
