Try spraying flux on top of the loaded PWB when you put it on the conveyor. The tackiness of the flux does a pretty fair job of keeping the axial leaded parts down to the board. This takes more cleaning, but it has worked wonders for me on assemblies

Consider NOT getting involved in those little POS chunks of sheet metal. * They're expensive. * You never have the one you need. * Even if you DO have the item you need, you probably will not be able to locate it. * It's all but impossible to c

What flux are you using to put them back on? you should be able to adequately clean the site after removal with alcohol or water depending upon the type of flux. "White grungy" usually comes from a liquid flux such as Alpha 857 being squirted on th

If there is no specific quality reason, stay with paste. More processes you add, more points of failure. They don't need a lot of paste to get attached to the board. The ones I used were 8mil round apertures, so I did cut 1:1 on a 3 mil coated stenci

Does anyone have good/bad experiences with tacky fluxes for rework? Which vendor/formula should I start with? Which ones should I stay away from? Thanks! BWET

Jinesh, My initial suggestion is you have too much solder past. Please try to reflow a few of these parts without solder paste. Colse aperture, put some tacky flux on this part location and give it a try. I bet you will not see any voiding.

As one of our small batch processes, we place BGAs on PCB without using solder paste. We apply tacky flux to a predetermined height on a pallet, "dip" the BGA into the tacky flux to wet the solder balls to the set height, and then use a BGA rework st
