| | I finaly get a vacation and decide to go to the forum and low and behold it's hot air verses a small ray of sun.I read every thread and still failed to see any real argument either way? I love rework as an assembler. I hate rework as a shop owner

| Dear all, | | We've got a curious problem. We have had a major problem with BGA's occasionally being placed one to several rows or columns off the pads. We are using Universal's GSM2 platform for our general purpose placements. Our Universal re

Never heard of the DRS-22C. I have had a DRS-22 for several years now. Purchased it when we started doing BGA's. The operators like it - good optics (split view), built like a tank, X-Y table easy to manipulate for alignment. I like it because I ca

| We have some SMT components with gold plated leads. They're actually LCC led packages. A good solder alloy to use would be Indium / Lead to reduce tin dissolution into the gold and avoid the resultant brittle intermetallic compound. However, a reco

| | Hi, | | | | Recently encountered missing components problem at the SMT process. | | Among 13 chip components from the same part number mounted on the board, only 4 ( located in a same row and next to each other) were missing after post reflow. C

| | Yesterday as I was creating a profile on a plastic BGA using Conceptronics freedom 2000 rework station, I happend to discover that I was able to remove solder bridging from a plastic BGA. | | | | This is what I did. | | | | Created a removal pr

| I'm working on a prototype board that requires a 600 pin BGA. This is a metal top BGA being placed on a 11" x 17" PCB about .62" thick. | | The part is 1.77" square with a 50 mil pitch and 30 mil bump diameter. The bumps are located on the

| Has anyone had issues where bottomside double reflowed smt has fallen off in the wave when using voc-free flux? I have verified the hotter profile was not the issue by using an alcohol based flux with no problems.This voc-free flux is also not caus

To you all for comment and summary, The following things I like without endorsing (PCB/PCBA stuff - outside the great women in my life [many] and without [mostly]): 1) A good set of design rules 2) A good set of design rules meeting producibility r

| Mornin! | | We just had vendor in here pitching a "low-temperature rework system" which was intriguing, but too expensive. He did get me to thinking though, beyond heating ceramic caps before hand-soldering them, it seems like it would be ad
