We have used the Stencilquik™ BGA Stencils from the same supplier to attach some LGA's for a prototype run. We were able to get a few different thicknesses to see which worked best. They worked very well for that limited application. We did not tr

Indium recommendations: 0201's: * Stencil Opening = 11mil x 16mil rectangle * Foot Print = 12mil x 15mil rectangle * Stencil Thickness = 5mils * Spacing = 9mils Note: The most common stencil being utilized, is the laser cut electropolished, and in so

Hola, We are about to start building a new PCBA using a LGA, we have not used such components in the past, is there any recomendations you can provide me? I've found some articles saying that stencil thickness is the key, what is your experince usin

Per IPC-A-610D: Target is 100% vertical fill but 75% vertical fill is acceptable for Class 1,2,3. Only needing 75% fill of the barrel when soldering plate through on an 0.093" thick board with our selective solder has been a life saver at times.

I'd check into the ASYS LSB-03 Bareboard Destacker. It isn't a gravity drop style. It uses edge clamps to clamp the top PCB on the stack and then drop it on the transport rail. So it doens't destack from bottom to top, it destacks from top down. We

Hello, We are facing solderability issues on a particular lot of board. THe Nickel thickness measured with an XRF is around 400 U inches. Spec calls out for 130 u inches Nickel and 3 - 5 U inches gold over it. Assuming there is no porosity on the g

Why soldering issues? I'd guess the nickel is corroded. It is very difficult to solder to oxidized nickel. Your SAC305 would get kicked all the way down the conveyor by nickel oxide. A lack of Ni-Sn-IMC formation will confirm this dewetting . What's

I don't have one, but a lot of ovens of this vintage are on the market because they DO NOT cope well with lead free processes. There is one of these on eBay right now and it even says ROHS is right at the limit of what it can just about manage so thi

ALso, coming to the convection the DIMA service group said : "Its full convection in the top zones. The bottom zones are heating elements mounted underneath a thick aluminium plate. So not full IR, but the head is coming from the heated aluminium p
