Casey, I will start with the lack of thermo-couple control - The unit I have is based on time and temp. exclusively. What happens when a cold board gets reworked vs. a hot board? No bottom side preheat, the heating is very localized to topside a

"depending on your pad design"... To me, Wolfgang gave you the biggest secret... I guess he meant the real pad width you get on your board is the start point. Get the average measurement in mils and then cut it from the sides at the percentages he h

Jason, First, check with the manufacturer of the flux you are using. They can tell you what board topside temperature range the flux is designed for. Some other info is needed for the residue part. Is it showing up on the same board, or different boa

Frank, I am not talking about the masking on the PCB. I am actually talking about the masking on the solder side of the BGA. We have a very very high dollar BGA and are trying to reclaim alot for reuse. When we remove the BGA from the assembly, you

David Fish alerted me to this dialogue, after visiting my web site. I am one of the "anal" consultants that are trying to help people "learn from things that go wrong." I don't know where to start. Perhaps by asking you not to lump all of us toget

I have worked with the PDR type rework station on and off for 12 years and have found that the IR can offer a lot of advantages over hot air. As was mentioned the lack of nozzels is a great advantage. The back heater takes a while to warm up but on

| We are wave soldering a board having 24 similar thru hole connectors on it, using a wave soldering pallet. The problem is that one particular pin of connector in around 6-9 connectors get excess solder on the bottom side. I have tried all the par

The parameters which effect the problem you are having are flux and contact time try first increasing the flux you are applying. Next reduce the contact time in the wave by adjusting the back flow plate. If the problem is a jig design check out the j
