We have a concern with moisture absorbtion/humidity effects on PWBs specifically used for automated SMT (including BGA). I'm sure there is a IPC spec on this and would appreciate the number - I've searched the IPC web-site -no results. Could you t

Head and Pillow defects beneath a BGA are difficult to find, no matter what the equipment is on hand. Since you do not appear to have access to tools that would help you, or $$ to purchase said tools, I might recommend that you use an outside source

Hi all, We are using small CSPs (10x10mm) in one of our products which has a big ground pad in the center (7x7mm). The maximum voiding allowed on this big pad is also no greater than 25% which we are finding very hard to achieve. The centre pad ha

| | I am looking for a rule of thumb regarding the maximum ramp standard components (chip capacitors) can tolerate without failure during the reflow process. The standard seems to be 3C\second, but this figure is generally derived from the average r

Hello M. We are a low volume high mix manufacturer with a total of 7 Mirtec AOI machines including a new MV-6 OMNI 3D system. I am very pleased with this machine! When we did our 3D AOI research, my team narrowed the field down to 2 vendors, Mirt

What is your solder pot temperature? We found that on a 0.093" multilayer board increasing the temp of the lead free solder from 300C to 315C helped with the barrel fill.

I see what you're saying - I'm not a process guru by any means. I was going on the premise that SAC melts at a higher temperature than SnPb. Basically I think of it as a BGA is joining solder to solder, unlike an SOIC where it is tinned metal lead t

We know nothing about your: * Solder alloy * Materials of your board * Materials of your teminal block * Process setup of your wave * Wetting condition of the board or the terminal block ... but we'll take a guess anyhow. Tin-copper based solder all

Another thing I'm curious about. What is the "functional purpose" of soldering stainless? Solder coatings generally prevent oxidation on surfaces, but why would somebody solder STAINLESS? Stainless, by nature, is resistant to rust, and hence, oxid

Who is using two sorts of tin in one selective soldering machine with to solder pots? So then the soldering program selects the correct pot (tin). What are the risks? Adding wrong tin in the wrong pot. Mixing up the nozzles?
