Ok, that's small - I think you may need a special semi-conductor printer for this - positional accuracy on a "normal" SMT printer is no more than 20 micrometres from memory. In my semiconductror fab days we were printing with a positional accuracy

i need some inputs regarding this process. is this really eliminates voids and other solderability issues on BGA's?

For low volume work and repair, just use a brush dipped in tacky flux to apply flux to the ball array.

thanks for the inputs. we are planning to run on fuji nxt i think cycle time will not be an issue. i still have another question if we can still use the same reflow profile for paste? or do we need to create another profile?

Early on when we started looking at BGAs we tried dipping. We've done it in production for a couple decades with flipchips. Dip fluxing BGAs worked fine in the lab but we ended up starting production with screen printed flux for cycle time reasons.

IMHO I would suggest that if you are using flux only during a BGA placement on a small run, that you first tin the pads with your soldering iron, then level the pads back out with wick. Accomplishes two things; adds a little metal to the joint to ma

Hi, If your using NXT to place these BGA's then you must be doing large runs. BGA's are the most easy part to place, and don't worry about them. Just stencil paste down for them as any other component. But we use 1:1 reduction on our stencil, so we

We have been doing BGA's for years now, and I would suggest updating your profile and place a thermal couple on the BGA, keep in mind the bigger the part the more heat it will need, We stencil print all of BGA's from simple bga's to complex ones, you

What is the pro & con of using flux dispensing vs flux dipping method for flip chip assembly ?
Electronics Forum | Tue Nov 04 07:50:14 EST 2008 | davef
Sure. Here's what you should do to apply repeatable amounts of flux on BGA during rework: * Squirt some gel flux on a plate or something like that that has a flat bottom and raised sides to corral the flux. * Cut notches into one edge of an old credi
