There is no standard for baking an assembled board prior to BGA rework, nor should there be. The amount of time required to bake a board varies with: * Board material. * Board construction and layers. * Board size. * Components on the board. If som

While separating individual pcbs from a panel, operators have caused delamination of the edge of the board, at the tabs that were cut. How can these boards be repaired? The delamination causes them to fail J-STD-001C 9.2.1.1.d. Also, what would yo

While J-STD-001 specifies an upper limit for acceptance of assembly, we use Resistivity Of Solvent Extract testing as a process control. In truth, this "LT 10.07 �gm/sg in NaCl equivalent" measurement has substantial limitations, not the least of wh

J-STD-001C, 7.2.1 Flux Application says words to the effect of: When an external flux is used in conjunction with flux cored solders, the fluxes shall be compatible. Regardless of whether these are or not flux cored solders, this begs the question:

J-STD-001C requires removal of gold from (through-hole) component leads when the thickness of the gold layer is above 2.5 microns to prevent problems with embrittlement. The thickness of gold on an ENIG board typically is around 0.05 micron, resultin

We have a customer enquiry that requires PCB assemblies to be cleaned to J-STD-001 / -004 class 3. We use both water based and no clean process chemistries. No clean flux residues are not permitted and would therefore have to be cleaned. My question
