Hello, Manufacturing process with high moisture and humidity environments and long term storage will definitely see pop corning effects once high temperature from soldering and/or re-flow process. The moisture that has been adsorbed is likely the ro

Edri PCBA design and pad geometry is one of the critical factors for BGAs. Typically the pad size for collapsible balls is 80% of the ball diameter. Pad size consistency is critical. In your situation what will happen the larger pads will wick the s

gregp: Our PTH process has not changed in many years. Our products are fairly simple as far as electronics goes and everything gets potted anyways. ~90% of everything we build is single sided TH with ~ 100 solder joints per board. Each board is ~

HI, I work for a company in New England and recently had a unusually large number of boards fail after replacing a BGA on them. We use a AirVac DRS25 to remove and replace the BGA witch uses local forced hot air. We usually have at least a 90% s

Hello, yes you are absolutely correct. I agree with your point. Last week,I personally checked out my board on Heller 1088 which is a 8 zone reflow oven (4 on top and 4 on bottom) and the soldering came pretty nice. So comparing with that situation

I'm sure you considered acquiring a second FX-D and run them inline, the first dispensing half the board and the second the other half. That would automatically double your throughput. You wouldn't have to worry about a new process, consumables, et

We've actually bought a second FX-D, which is intended to mainly handle smaller, higher-volume boards. That will still serve to improve throughput. But at the same time, we're also adding another pick'n'place machine which has a rated speed that's 2

Hi Jeff, We have both a MY500 (4 years) and a 600 (8 months) and were the first in the UK to have both. They work well for us, enough so that we no longer use a stencil printer. Like yourselves we are a high mix CEM we make about 500 different part

Charlie, For the 300 cylinder (the largest Airgas sells), it's going to cost about $66/cylinder for the gas (plus delivery charges). They also charge a $99/year lease for the cylinder. Based on those costs, and a low-end N2 generator system that I
