Hi Steven, BGA�s are known for their ability to self align and from own experiance they do. There�s enough documentation on this one available (...don�t have the links present like Dave but I�m sure he will give you enough to spend some evenings rea

Hi ya'll, We may be getting some business here for a small (2" X 2"),ceramic substrated, double-sided SMT assembly. I've done ceramic substrates with SMT in the past, but not double-sided, and as packed as this thing will be... My question is, can

When it works right, it's a beautious thing. => When goes wrong, you have one board with some of the other board's material, not too coo. Scribed and broken ceramic has bad-butt sharp edges. You'll feel this sticky stuff on your hands, look down,

So, we've already addressed the tombstoning on these guys by adopting the mfr's (Pana.) recommendations for pad size and spacing. Problem is, we have pretty bad wetting of some of these parts. The rest of the board we use them on looks great, nice

Naw, the rest of the BOARD we use them on. Same assembly. Actually we use them on one other assembly and have the same problem. Same oven, same line, same paste, same problem. I've tried to get the production super. to move them to another line w

Steve- We had the same trouble with 0805 Panasonic film caps. We had some tombstoning and open solder joints (non-wetting). We found two problems...like you, we changed our pad design to meet their recommendation. Also, they were able to suppl

On the equipment: * Placers: Look at MIMOT and Europlacer as other possibilities * Printers: Elite may be able to to the job * Oven: Maybe RI? Alternatives: * I understand for contractors: (1) Giving-up a job is distasteful (2) Success with new cus

I've seen some glass melf's fall off in our facility due to the glue not adhering to the body very well. You could pick these off with your finger after they had cured. (With little or no effort - I never bothered to actually measure the force requir

I've heard of reliabilty problems caused by wave soldering melf's as well. We don't put Melfs on the bottom of our PCB's on newer designs. We only have to deal with gluing & putting them through the wave on some of our older legacy designs. Increasi
