Hi Sir Charles! Good Day! I hope you can help me about my queries. 1. What is the acceptable misregistration or misalignment of balls after reflow soldering of PBGA module on the PCB? 2. Is there any criteria for solder ball defect or solder beads

Hi Dave, Sorry that I did not explain clear enough. What I mean normally after reflow, the solder joint is very smooth and there is wetting. But now we see there is hole on the solder surface and is not on the same loaction. This product have been r

We use Indium 1074-EXR on ERSA, and it's performed miracles on our yields. Spot soldering, like wave, is all about fundamentals. Put just enough flux, preheat to prevent thermal shock and activate the flux, and then solder with enough dwell time to

Hi Mr. Necdet Ozyonum, Recently we did have same kind of problems when we use lead free reflow profile for leaded solder paste (AIM WS-483). There where solder resist lacks, we found white residue after aqueous cleaning. Not in the solder joints but

First piece of advice: build the board as you would any other board. Probably, you will be surprised at the holding force of the solder of the connections of the BGA, because the surface area of the solder is very large compared to the weight of the

I have a customer who approved and asked us to process PCB's built with Lead-Free HASL Finish using Eutectic Solder. We did as directed and inspected the result from a 10-PCB Run and couldn't find any problem with solderability or issues. What Issue

Having solder flow issues on gold pads. Issues started when supplier switched adhesive tape used to cover pads during varnish process. By running SEM/EDX and XPS analysis it has been determined that the new tape leaves behind a thicker organic residu

Hi, Do you want to replace the SB ou just reflow it again? Do you suspect there is some "colder solder joint" in one of the SB balls ? In my opinion you are heating the board a lot... Did you put some thermocouple on the ball to check the temperat

Here is our solution: We run the assembly line 40 hours per week and use 500g cartridges of solder. We take 1 cartridge out Monday morning and leave it out until the end of the Friday shift when it is put back into the refrigerator. That means you
