Any recommendations/data on a superior flux to use for Package on Package assembly? Also, any guidelines on flux depth, viscosity, etc... are welcome.

Hi smtdude- I'm no expert at PoP (yet!) as we've only done a few weeks worth of experiments for a new customer but what i can tell you is 25-50% of the ball height (not diameter) is a good rule of thumb for the flux depth, at least to start. I can s

Has there been any studies on the effect of the depth of the fluxing cavity for dipping PoP components? I've heard that the cavity should be 50% of the ball diameter and I also heard that the cavity should be 2/3 of the ball height (which may or may

The top PoP part is what gets dip fluxed or dip pasted. We have had warping issues with these components before but it is almost always the top part. My guess would be bad components if your reflow profile and print process is good to go.

From our experience with our gel fluxes the depth of the flux cavity can be 30% ~ 70% of the ball diameter. You'll probably need to do some tests to find the optimum for your process. If you have really fast movement on pick and placement machine the

Hello all, does any body place PoP parts? We are running them through a regular process(paste place reflow) and we don't have good rates on these. Mostly we observe opens at the sides of the part. We are thinking to purchase a flux feeder, but I wan

The most innovative new technology today is ccoming out of Fuji. They don't really advertise, so if you haven't gone to a show lately you might not have seen it. The machine is call the XPF-W and it sets the new standard for quality, accuracy, reliab

Thank you all for the posts. From all I read lately I will probably try a different solder paste and if that doesn't work I will go for a flux feeder. I will keep you posted.

Hi Adamjs! Flux or paste is controlled at a depth of 50-60% per cent of the ball diameter prior to placement of a BGA or to place a PoP component on to a board or other device. For more details visit us at Soldertools.net

Charlie: As far as setting up a spray fluxer.. Are you spraying no-clean, voc free, water soluble? What you would want to do is to run a blank pcb through the fluxer and pop it out before the preheaters. Visually inspect for variations in uniformit
