John: The 180 Tg point is a sweet spot for obtaining heat resistance, cost effectivly. These high technology boards provide good thermal resistance for wire bonding, direct chip attach, and BGA mounting and rework. Since these boards are harder th

Some thing to watch out for is the cure spec for the adhesive. Will that match with your solder paste reflow spec? You will have two dissimiliar materials going through endothermic reactions at the same time. You could end up with under cured adhesiv

Hi every one I would like to have some inputs here,I would be very appreciated if you can give your suggestion; Currently we are working on 2 underfilled BGAs with SRT-1800 rework station(hot air type),one is mounted on a single sided PCB whereas the

The best station I've ever worked with is a focused IR station from PDR. The station that I had was called a; "Lightmaster Pro". They have a different model name now, but you can see a datasheet for it at: http://www.pdr.co.uk/Datasheets/PDRX410-IR-

I agree with PJC.. The mention of 2 QFPs to wave = more than likely rework to remove bridges and a potential to scrap the board, 25mil isnt as bad as 20 or less.. but the potential is still very real.$$$$$$ reflow/reflow is my 2 cents with the possib

Questions: 1. Is this a retail product sold as PCB only? Or is this in a finished chassis / case (like an external modem)? 2. Are the customers damaging only the BGA devices? Like prying them up with a screw driver? What? You can dam and fill

http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/832.html Loctite makes a version too, if I recall. Designed to be tamper evident, but yes, rework is a bear. We had similar results using one of Lord Chemical's urethane potting compounds. It was a filled black fi

Hi Martin, Have you considered printing the flux with a stencil? Stencils can be used for printing more than just solder paste. Quite regularly people use stencils for printing thermal grease, fluxes, conductive epoxy and more. The thing I like

I agree with the two other replies. Left alone, it is a defect. If it's just excess adhesive or coating, you can use IPC-7711/7721 'Rework, Modification and Repair of Electronic Assemblies' for guidance on removing. Section 2.3.1 explains how to te

A few more tricks to try: - Got a hot air rework machine? You can get more controlled heat on the area and lower the risk of damage to the fab. I never got topside fillets un unrelieve ground planes until I went to convection preheat on my waves.
