Dave, Last question(s). What do I do about a gold porosity problem? Dave: How would I approach the board house to check for this? They use a very well known chemistry, but is that where the pblm lies? Or would it be in their process, cycle times

Tombstoning is usually oven profiling, see October 14 thread below. Aperture rules are misleading. Component mix, stencil thickness, paste factors, all contribute. Also, are you making the stencil from a paste or pad layer or from a soldermask layer?

We are not into BGA Tech (yet !), but I was discussing other issues with a knowledgable individual, who said that they do not reball BGA's. What they do, is to have a piece of glass, apply some flux to the glass and then drag the BGA across the glas

Larry Elaborating on the specific question, yes, the volatile solvents in the flux can and will evaporate. Evaporate completely in any reasonable amount of time? Probably not. What tends to happen is that the exposed paste dries on the surface and

Armin, I can supply you but wont. Why not? Because these materials have a short shelf life when packed into syringes. Your local supplier should be able to provide them but he will be obliged to make up a batch of 2 - 300 to be economical - but they

Hello all, I am trying to get some information on ENTEK CU56. I am planning to use 310M flux on ENTEK 56 cards. It will not be a double reflow (top/bottom) followed by wave. I plan to reflow, glue/cure then wave. I am concerned about burning off the

Hi Mark: Running a wire under a BGA is possible, however if you plan to mount the BGA over the wire you would want to make sure that the wire insulation will withstand the heat of the reflow temperature. A more reliable way would be to lay a trace

Hi Carol You can use a threaded standoff and put a screw through the board and into the standoff with the screw from the buss bar coming into the other end of the standoff. You should use a SEMS type screw or a internal star type lockwasher with a pl

That should not happen. There are some threads concerning BGA and wavesoldering you could look for. It�s said that you should protect the vias in the BGA-area by soldermask or at least with tented vias to prevent rereflow of BGAs solderjoints what co

We have just completed some studies of with ABPAC, who is a large subcontract assembler of plastic ball grid arrays. BT laminates can pick-up appreciable moisture in just two hours. They are using TVP demoisturizing, our product (I apologize for the
