Hi, yes have a few experiments initially i tried to increase the solder volume but component pin have insufficient solder. 1. The solder coverage do you calculate it by solder volume or solder area. 2. if i would achieve as you recommend 50-60 % woul

Russ, I use the R562, it has a longer tack time then the Hm531 and have found no problems with voiding on my BGAs. You may want to evaluate this formula also Larry

Russ, this post doesn't specificly address your original post but I thought it is relevant to your situation and future production. I have been having problems with voids using Kester's R596L paste. I contacted them for a solution to my problem. T

The whole thread seem's to have gone off track. Russ we've been doing a fairly big bit of work on the whole BGA voidign thing as we were so unhappy with the answer's that we were getting from around the industry, basically no one really kows all the

Dave, I've had a few intersting conversations with Dr Lee, now there's a guy who know's stuff, but as it turn's out even he doesn't have all the answers on why things void. Many of his papers point towards oxides or contamination on the ball, so age

Hey Russell. The boys at Air-Vac Engineering can help you solve your problem. Are you using an DRS system. If not, you are probably out of luck and should scrap the boards. Cheers!

I guess you don't use one. Call them and I'm sure they will solve your problems and teach you a little bit about BGA rework profiling... CHEERS!

Good points, John. Continuing to track on the voiding issue, why remove voids anyhow? * Voids are primarily process indicators. There is experimental evidence that voids retard crack propagation locally around the void on at least on a temporary bas

Hi, The acceptance level for voids is 25% and most of it on your case should be the paste. If you want to reduce / eliminate it, you gotta have the Production to practise FIFO for the usage of the paste. If it is expired paste or exposed to long

AJ, I have bought and used 2 DRS24's in the past. It is a good machine. (I don't think that I will bring up the fact that a certain package that I had kept shorting so I sent them a couple to help with the profile and all of them came back shorted
