Yes you can solder on to it - just tried it with some 0603's across some gold fingers with tin lead paste & a heat gun. Don't know how many times you could rework it though. Any chance you could get hold of an aold populated board from your custome

Grant, The best rule is- "If it works don't touch it". What I mean is check your component datasheet. Max allowed temperature should be there. You know the profile of your reflow oven and the temperature reached during reflow. So if there is no conf

I have used Martin, Metcal and Ersa. I would go with the Metcal. i thnk you get the most bang for your buck withthis unit. Martin service and support can be taxing on the Mind if you are in US. fairly decent unit though. would recommend if you l

We have a current problem on our packages after we bake it for 24 hrs prior BGA rework. Flux or white residues found on the connector leads and terminals that cause not contact problems during mating. Could you help us how to clean the fluxes properl

We've always used flux in reworking BGA, except with some dodgy designs, when we use paste. We see no reason to switch to paste. We do not understand your coworker's concerns, nor do we understand the impact of using paste because of the higher mel

I'm reworking lead free BGAs now, on a Conceptronics Freedom 3000. I use flux only (no-clean, Indium) all the time, with no issues. If you go to paste, you also understand that you still have to hit the same temperatures as with flux, as the solder i

What are the main advantages of having a Zevac DRS 22. I just completed a through hole and SMT soldering course and I am thinking of investing in the DRS 22. What are the chances of getting a return on a $10,00 to $15,000 investment doing rework an

Hello, we rework BGA packages that come back from the field. I've seen on occasion a black and or red "epoxy" substance from the manufacturer on the corner of some board's BGA chips that I imagine are applied to increase corner bond of the chip to th
