Do you have any picture or reference how can we determine black pad or plating contamination. I have heard about a lot of problems regarding BGA's and normally these components are only replaced or heat it and that's it ,after that the boards are wor

Actually this is for an automotive instrument cluster. From what I've been told back in the good old days we switched fluxes and after the car sat in the sun (and heat) a haze developed on the inside of the panel that was attributed to the flux.

You must try cleaning the heads with a wet head cleaner. Dry tape cleaner just scratches your heads. Demagnetizer is good to use after a good cleaning.

Thanks for the replys'. So are you saying that SMD adhesive contains a flux agent?, because at this point in the process the boards have no solder on them at all, it's all done at a solder bath after the chips have been bonded.

I am running a SMT production line but the defects are high. I do not want to encounter defects after the reflow whereby rework is costly and time consuming. Can anyone share with me the strategies of achieveing a low defect or zero defects product

Our requirement is 2 hours after printing before the board needs to go through the oven. Course we're in the humid south where on those 95%+ RH days we do get solder balling.

Many times after initially cleaning in the solvents recommended by the paste/material manufacturer, a light white haze may still be visable...try using a soft bristle brush to remove the remaining residues. By this time the residues that remain will

Hi all, Any stencil opening recommendation for 20mils pitch mirco BGA. Currently, using 12mils round opening, 5 mils thickness. Seen to have weak joints as it crack after Ict testing. thks

Hello everyone. Can someone please tell me if there are problems using No Clean solder for SMT and then using WS Flux with our Wave process? We are aquaeous cleaning after...but are there other cross-contamination issues? THANKS!!!

Yeah, there's a MELF nozzle. Check with Fuji or one of the many after-market guys, mostly Asian suppliers. Big reel, no big deal, unravel it and reload in 7" reels.
