In the past I have worked on 600 Amp FET Blocks. The rule was no voids. The circuit board would be heavy copper. 4 times normal plating time. Not particularly high resolution on the board say 20 mils. To help with the heavy plating. The boards were t

Being in the line of BGA rework and having performed much rework on boards that go into military planes, I can give you an opinion from a practical background rather than an in depth study. Basically BGA's have caused many of my customers big headac

Below is an email that I copy and pasted from my customer's engineer about his concerns with the issue of the chips not reflowing (which is why I was asking about X-ray the chips to make sure they reflowed): Can you let me know your thoughts on his

| Hello: | BACKGROUD: SMT components soldered on the top-side of boards that also require wave soldering have the potential to reflow during wave soldering. Reflowing these components during wave soldering is not good. It can cause cold joints, op

Robert: Out of curiosity, by "BT" do you mean: � Bismaleimide triazine, the stuff used to increase the tg of resins used in some BGA interposers. � British Telecommunications plc, the guys with bad teeth. � BrookTree, the RAMDAC supplier, that�s par

I'm not exactly sure of your problem...but I'll give it a shot. I assume the screw is on the solder side of the board. If you wave solder the screw the head will fill in with solder. Try a water solouble mask or peelable laytex mask over the screw

Wow, someone read the fine SMTnet Archives!!!! Scary, get their name!!! [OK, I�ll stop ... Several points are: * Most of the stuff in the fine SMTnet Archives is all the bad things that we can make-up to respond to the questions people ask. Ther

Deon Response: Hello Will, Yes, you can reflow a double sided board using 63/37 solder paste on both sides. There are some limitations as far as the mass of the components to reflow the second time. If you have doubts or are concerned that a compone
