Hello everyone, my company produce Alumina PCB. Till now we mount ceramic BGA on alumina substrate, but now it's hard to find ceramic components so we'd like to mount plastic BGA on this kind of substrate. Do you know problems about it? Please, if yo

I am not sure if I have seen an article comparing solder joint strength Vs pressfit although I am sure this has been researched by literally hundreds of companies before they felt comfortable going to pressfit. I know one of the issues with solder is

Hi everyone, I work in a development firm, that has a small prototype department. We have recently invested in a small automatic SMD pick&place machine. When mounting over 100 different components, the machine runs out of feedercapacity, and the res

Hi, And thanks for the advice. I have tried your method now, and it seems to be working. By visual inspection with a microscope it was almost impossible to tell the differrence between the pcb that had been in the frig and the pcb's that were normal

As the others have stated, moisture is the killer. You have to be sure no moisture is allowed to get to the paste. If it does, you'll get solderballs. I would suggest not using a vacuum. The solvents and other volatile components of the flux will

i have stored boards in the refrigerator in side a tray (with a lid) for 2 days and still had them reflow with no problems. i don't know if i would go any longer than that. i would not put any qfp's or any other device that is moisture sensative dev

Moisture would be my main concern. Even though components are plastic, they can absorb moisture. Moisture is also detrimental to the the solder itself. The water droplets that are left behind (evaporated even) could cause problems (i.e. chlorides).

The more we talk about this, the more it seems like you should use the process we've discussed to proof your design. Immediately there after, you should use a top-flight high-mix contractor to continue the prototype run for you. If you don't have t

We have stored PCB's in the refrigerator twice when our old pick and place died during production. One time the boards were in the frig for two days. I put the boards in a tray and covered the tray with plastic food wrap. We waited about two hours

No arument with others comments about moisture, but taking a different tact, consider that the volitle elements of the solder paste disppear as a function of the amount of time the paste is out of the container. [Maybe as a function of solder paste
