Hello, We have designed a 160ball bga substrate. Now we want to use the same substrate for the 145ball version of the product. All are the same, the package size, ball pitch, solder ball size only the number of balls will change. We will use a new s

We know nothing about Envivar UV 1244 and you weren't real clear about the details of the problem or the materials [eg, ws flux, solder mask, etc], but we'd speculate your adhesion problem goes back to the cleanliness of your board. First by 'alcoho

Q1: What is "enough surface free energy"? A1: Look here for background: http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1575 Q2: How do I determine surface free energy? A2: We look at it a relative term. For instance, a semi matte finish on solder mask

Cleaning method will depend on the type of flux > that you use in your soldering process. Yes it is isopropyl alcohol. We use "no-clean" halide free flux (Multicore X33-06i). We still cleaning and I beleive it is because we roto trim the leads aft

IPC-HDBK-830, Guidelines for Design, Selection and Application of Conformal Coatings says: A conformal coating may have several functions depending on the type of application. The most common are: * Inhibit current leakage and short circuit due to h

Several things to check are: * Ask Multicore if their flux res and your conformal coat are compatible. Conformal coats and NC flux res are notorious for having compatibily issues. * Conformal coat a bare board to determine if there is there is enoug

A reading of the pictures is: A1: Looks like pad [B1] is smaller than the other pads. It�s weird that the pads are such different colors. A2: Looks like pad [B1] is smaller than the other pads. Solder mask opening [B1] is misregistered and seems s
