If I'm remembering correctly, I just had a board shop I worked with supply me with a 20"x20" copper laminated piece of FR4 and used that. I believe I only used it once before I left that company, so I'm not sure how well it holds up over time.

There are solder pastes that seem to give you less voiding. Currently we are using Kester ,water soluble paste that gives us pretty good results on BGA's up to 0.5mm pitch. Stencil design was a challenge but we are getting consistent results . Here

No offence, but have you ever used a soldering iron? The usage dictates the shape you need. small pads require small tips, big pads require big tips. Then you have chisel tips, cone tips, etc... that is to your preference or what you feel more comfor

Comment: A 20 mil pad for a .5mm pitch BGA? That seems like an awful large pad for this device. If my math is right the pads will be basically touching each other. .5mm = .020". I would think that you have something else. You cannot have a 22mil

All it takes is an agreement signed by the employee upon date of hire. The employee is issued tools to do their job. They sign a document that lists the tooling inventory and replacement costs, stipulating that the employee is responsible for the too

Stencil-less printing?

However the OP is talking about a machine that replaces a placement nozzle with a dispense head. This is a $20k upgrade that runs at a fraction of the speed an inline stencil printer or Mycronic dedicated dispensing machine. Essemtec offer a similar

That�s what we consider to be practical if the 20% were the worst case we see but the reality looks different. By chance we get a -20%, sometimes worse, sometimes a "good" 10%, rarely does it hit the nominal value and never it�s a +%. In short: It lo

Daughter Board Attachment??? Help!

I have a customer that has a wrong pin out on a TSOP32. The Raw PCB is expensive, "time to market concerns", and respin lead times are forcing an alternative solution. He would like to design a "conversion" daughter board with the correct pin out to

Depending on how wrong the pinout is another possibly a little less ugly option would be to bend the wrong pins up then wire them to the correct pads after reflow of the correct pins. You may want to trim the ends of the pins a bit use heat shrink or
