Hi folks, Lately I am also having problem with BGA ball problem. We are finding more and more on X-ray analysis and is very expensive to replace. I know for sure that we could rework on CCGA but there is no certified process in industry as we speak

Hi, Another option we have used here in house is to remove the unwanted BGA balls with solder wick, and then to manually place them on the PCB foot print. This eliminates the pick and place machine's optical centering freaking out because the balls

Git otta taun!!! I never have heard of an Sn62 BGA solder ball. Several thoughts on Sn62: * Look at http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=4603&#Message17953& * Search the fine SMTnet Archives on � Sn62 �

Marc, I agree with Dennis. Your best method is to apply solder mask over the pads, then install the BGA. You can also remove the balls or completely remove the pads, but it take a skill person to do it. We do all that type precise rework in Southern

Hi Kc! I went to Surface Mount International last week, and had a chance to see a way to reball BGA's that is very simple, and not expensive at all. I've seen the advertisements in a few magazines, but this was the first time I've seen it live. It's

Are there formalized standards for the properties of solder balls? No Get IPC-7095 �Design & Assembly Process Implementation for BGA's�. General comments about array package solder balls are: * Ceramic packages use harder solder, like 90/10. * Pla

Dude, make sure you're not getting too hot, too quick. If the BGA "dogears" in the oven, or during a rework procedure, it'll either short, or get very strained, depending on which way the part moves, up or down. Also, bake the hell out of them, as if

All my studies led me to believe that it was CTE mismatch of this package. Altera was of less than 0 help in this matter. The other possibility was an ICT test fixture. Unfortunately (?) the design life of this product was at end and the new design

Not all but some were tested O.K before the failure. What are some of the other reasons for ball separation from the component body besides mechanical stress?
