I almost always go with an overprint as long as it's feasible. I haven't had much problem with solder-balling when overprinting. I'd give it a try and see how it works for you.

Caumel, You should be able to find sufficient info in the archives. Solder Balls probably hold the majority of posts and should be easy to referance. You can find out what causes them in relation to board material, profile tempature, wave type, flu

Hello All, I am looking for any insight RE: reworking the Xilinx 4044XL 40x40 BGA chip. A customer of mine has no trouble removing it, however, when installing with their BGA rework station, the corner solderballs consistently collapse. Has anyone

I thought it might be something from baseball but I must admit that my concentration watching this game was more on the outfield action and on trying to understand the rules. And besides, couple of years passed since my stay in US. Yeah at first sig

Hi Chris, the same reduction as for fine pitch (10-15%)has decreased the amount of solderballs enormously. Sure, with adequate pad design and good printing equipment and processcontrol you can get the same results but it does no harm as long as you

| We have problems with solder balls after reflow. Anybody have any ideas as to what causes them? | Al: Tuffty's comments are good, but point to the broader problem in trying to make recommendations on your problem ... There's just not enough info

Used an older model of the one you described. Have used Asymtech and Fuji's as well. The Camalot is accurate, reliable, and easy to program. The only things I disliked about it was that is was slower than the fuji's, and if the pressures weren't set

As the others have stated, moisture is the killer. You have to be sure no moisture is allowed to get to the paste. If it does, you'll get solderballs. I would suggest not using a vacuum. The solvents and other volatile components of the flux will

Have never heard of solderballs during rework using solder wire. Noticed the tendency to have little balls of flux with too hot iron and lots of solder used for shields or massive cables to be connected. Seems to me a question of believe if it does

We have noticed that when you are using a no-clean flux with the wave solder process that you will have additional solderballs. One thing that we have done is to change the PCB finish to a matte finish. This has greatly reduced the number of solder
