Yes, moisture entrapment causes solder shorts 80% of the time. Cracks occur bottom side of the BGA. Use an acoustic microscope to find the cracks. So, what makes you think your BGA are blowing-off steam? I posted a vid on SMTnet that showed the b

You should be able to solder to brass - check with you flux supplier to get their recommendations. The flux you are using may not have enough activation to breakdown the oxides on the brass surface. A word of caution - brass (copper and zinc alloy)

| | Dear guys, | | | | I have some problem on assembling micro-BGA with solder paste (63/37). The micro-BGA we assmeble is 0.75mm pitch and with 45 pin (solder bump is 96.5/3.5Ag). The stencil is a laser-cut stencil with 5 mil thickness. We are no

Had a lot of good experience with Asys. For proximity YJ Link are not far from you. You would need a flip station to get double sided, and you would want a machine that reads back and verifies the mark. Also consider your solder resist colour as

We changed paste manufacturers rather recently and are now seeing SOT23s falling off after wave solder. These parts have a dual process... we stencil print paste, apply glue, populate then reflow. Only SOT23s fall off, chips are fine. We do not be

Just for your reference. If you need to check for surface contamination, then we shall go for microscope inspection at different modes. But this will not reflect on actual PCB performance. Solderability test will still a good option if PCBA is expe

As part of an analysis of the status of lead-free soldering National Physical Laboratory in the UK is undertaking a short survey, and would be grateful if you would spare a few minutes to answer a few questions. The SMART Group is providing five Int

Hello Dave, Solder mask rework has been performed on both bare and populated boards. There are factors that come into play with a populated board that make this type of rework more difficult, such as the density of components(especially around th
