The methods Terry mentioned are good, but our operators are too impatient. Here's how they do site prep, after removing the BGA: * Use a soldering iron to melt the solder at the base of the ball. * Flick the ball[s] from the pad[s] with the solderin

Hi Dave I think you just provided the key to understanding the problem. By your description you are talking about a CBGA (ceramic). These typically have balls composed of 10/90 Sn/Pb which melts at a higher temperature than the 62/36/2 Sn/Pb/Ag (or

Hi, What studies? Can you post a link? I am not sure what the difference is between a ceramic BGA that the high temp solder ball is not expected to collapse, and a lead free solder ball that's run through a lead process and also does not collapse b

Larger tighter spaced balls will present a problem in sealing the vacuum cup. There will be more leakage in this case. It really depends upon the application. The BGA you mention should not be a major concern. The bigger problems are with bigger

Grant I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. The studies that I've been reading from various BGA Manufacturers have identified insufficient homogenizing / coalescing of the Sn/Pb Paste with the SnAgCu balls. Ball not touchi

What is the component ball co-planarity spec? I have encountered many ceramic and ASIC devices that specify 7 mil max. If your stencil is 4, 5, 6 mil you WILL eventually have an open joint. You must deposit solder greater than or equal to your cop

appears to be incomplete reflow on a couple of balls or they were moved during a cooldown. it also seems as though there is a deviation in ball size due to inconsistant paste application possibly. I would stop applying paste and just reflow that pa

HI Im new to this but i thought i would have a go at fixing my xbox 360 be re balling it,ive managed to remove the gpu and take all the old solder balls of and cleaned it up,then ive put it in a re balling jig with the 360 stencil fluxed the gpu wi
