Agree with WiIIR and also can recommend to play with vaccum pump RPM . Slower vacuum increasing have help me to resolve one problem caused by the vacuum (it was solder splash from BGA balls, but the reason can be similar to your case). Also check i

Anyone know of a place to get the vacuum pads for the traverser of the LCS units? Assembleon want over $100 each for a ring of ESD foam! ! ! ! If I can't find a reasonable source I guess I will try to make them myself. James jseagle@zworld.com

...those are ESD foam rings. ....and their $107 each. ...and I'm in the wrong business. How many a month do you use?

Just refreshing the topic so it doesn't disappear into oblivion. I am still looking for help with this issue. HELP ! ! ! ! ! Thanks James jseagle@zworld.com

Hi, Looking for views and some opinions on the best systems to use to clean pads (particularly BGA) prior to carrying out replacement of parts. I'm thinking of vacuum type desoldering systems. Obviously braid is an option which we currently use, but

Hello! Do you have a better stencil design to reduce the large area of solder joint voids? Or is there a suggested way to set the reflow profile? Or are there other process improvements to make the solder joint at the LED pad less than 10% per void?

Probably just means you started out with an optimal profile. I suspect that not everyone does. ;) It seems like we did have some luck with profile adjustments in one instance with some QFN's with a large thermal pad. Like I said, though, the profi

You might try..... http://www.wpsales.com/ or SMT research They sell aftermarket nozzles etc. and if you show them a market for these Vac. pads I bet they would start carrying them (they may have them already). I'm sure there are others out there b

Solder paste flux is main contributor, Lead termination chemical-oxide by products and PCB Plating-Chemicals. Reflow profile would have very limited if not no impact really unless is way off. Paste volume control and Stencil design plays a big part

Contributors in order of importance: 1. PCB design - if you have large thermal pads, a grid of via holes should be created. Components with low profile will not let the gas to escape from the joint. The only way is going down. 2. Reduce paste volum
