We are about to use BGAs on our equipment. We clean all products prior to confomally coating them - to keep moisture off the IC legs. Will this be a problem with BGAs. Will we need to get the coating underneath the BGA or will the pitch on the balls

80ppm). The CTE of your board and solder joints will typically be 18-22ppm. We have seen cases were the coating fills the gap between the component and the board, then during temperature cycling the coating expands to the point of breaking the solder

You can stop cleaning after a job when there is no more paste in the apertures. Under wiping should be done with a quality cloth and should leave no paste on the underside of the stencil (assures good contact on the next print and reduces chances of

Sorry fellas -disagree. We only clean our stencils in the ultrasonic machine at the end of the run. If the same pcb is up the next day we clean them by hand. We use Electrolube SSS and the used rolls from the in line under stencil cleaner. Wipe the

Thinner: Flux thinner, NOT paint thinner We kept a spare stone in thinner in inventory. We cut PVC pipe to size, cap in one end, screw thread on the other, stone inside, filled with flux thinner and covered with a screw cap. I don't remember who we

On the DEK Horizon there are two options for underside cleaning one is a foam cleaner and paper cleaner that advances. The Foam cleaner cleans using liquid but does not increment and foam piece and can be washed but there are still contaminents. We h

Determine the origin of the solder * Sloppy paste printing technique * Lax stencil underside cleaning practices * Sloppy misprint cleaning practices * Poor part placement practices creating solder balls * Poor material control allowing solder p

| Richard, | You may be encountering solder paste contamination | on the assembly during the printing process. Solder | will reflow on tin/lead plated lands therefore invisible. | If you are washing the assembly prior to inspection | then you are
