I extended the pads to help ensure the component locates correctly and to allow for easier re-work should problems occur. I reduced the thermal by 5% but you may want to speak to your fabricator and ask what they require to ensure that the resist is

Earliar we had problems with board warpage, Much of our problem was due to imbalances in the copper on oppisite layers in brief on a 8 layer board the copper on layer 1 should = the copper on layer 8, 2=7, 3=6, 4 = 5. We added copper to some layers t

Good Morning, We are underfilling some of our BGA's. This is a specified customer requirement. The material we are using is Emerson & Cuming E-1216 (also specified by the customer) The material was selected because of a close CTE match with the PCB.

Both questions will depend upon the IC specifications. Check the manufacturers recommendations for temperature specification, as well as reflow profiling. As a general rule, we don't like to rework a component more than 2 times after initial reflow

First, this is a very interesting question. Second, there is no specification. Third, companies develop guidelines for rework based on their expectations for their product reliability. Things to consider are: * Motorola allows no product shipments

You can using Ersa IR550A Rework System. The unit was NOT using any hot air process. IR550A Rework System is worldwide the only system with a genuine closed loop control system. Which employs the current temperature at the component in order to regul

Here's a related question: How hot can a PBGA get before popcorn delamination becomes a concern? 100 C? 150C? I realize that the answer will depend upon the conditioning of the part, so let's assume that the part is saturated with moisture. A pra

| There is a practise within the industry of an Inspector inspecting a board, and that same Inspector performing touch-up. My opinion is that the Inspection and Touch-up operations should be separate functions whereby the Inspector is not performing
