BGAs are actually easy, but proper stencil design, solder paste placement and oven profiles are a must. Especially oven profiles as this is your only indication that the inner balls have reached proper temp, since you cannot visually tell. If you g

Hi. We appear to have a basic grip on using the CAD2CAD tool v1.5 from Assembleon for our PCB designs. Can anyone offer advice on how to take our PCB design and allow us to panelize the single PCB to say 2-up or 4-up, etc. So that we can visualize th

A most evocative title to the tread, Ed. Few companies in Joysee named "C-Tech", eh? I assume we�re talking "C TECH is a distributor of low vision aids and adaptive technology for the blind, visually impaired and learning disabled." [http://www.lowv

Most of the problems that you will find with NC is visual. I have not found or heard of any real evidence that NC causes component or board failures. The residue has extremely high resistance, which actually gets higher as time goes on. It's a paradi

Thanks for your input Michael. Basically the boards had been go through from washing and even ionic contamination already. In order to eliminate or detect the flux residues, is there any equipment something like a uv lamp that can detect the flux fro

The most common method is a R.O.S.E tester. They have been around for 30 years and are an industry standard for ionic contamination (flux and other residues) testing. Manufacturers include: Zero Ion www.aqueoustech.com Omegameter / Ionagraph http:/

I have a SAC305 preform with which I am attempting to bond a gold coated component to an ENIG coated PCB pad. I've specified 2 microinches of gold for the ENIG. It worked previously but now with a new batch of boards, I am having an issue where the p

1) why is No-clean (NC) the preferred process, for BGA mounting by SMT? Probably the same reason NC is the preferred process for mounting non-area array SMT components. 2) why is water-soluble (WS) not a hot choice? There�s not reason not to use
