Don't do it.!!!! Are you nucking futs? Why is pre-bake required? Are you producing in high humidity? Is the package of the device poroues enough to suck in moisture? Think, consider you will not get an even "bake", the outside of the reel will get

Ladies and Gents: There have been several studies including (http://www.solder.net/PDFs/LeadFree_BGATesting_InitialCycling_BEST.pdf) which have shown lower fast pass yields with solder paste. Based on internal projects of 1000+ of the same BGAs we a

Hi, My oven has 5 zones each 12 inches in length , giving a total of 70 inches Heating Zone in total. I am working with a 6 layer PCB ,ENIG Finish. I am using Alpha OM338T no-clean Solder Paste. I am working to a cycle time of 4 to 4.5mins RTS p

We use SNPb for such applications (PCBA for aircraft). We tried SAC305 but recieve no good quality, so now only SNPb. If you will find good solution - please write. Because now we have some problems with BGA - no SNPb balls. And need to reball (addit

We have both DRS24 and DRS25 Lead Free rework is done for the most part on the DRS25, although the DRS24 can handle some of our smaller pbFree assemblies. We bought the DRS25 machine new, it was not an upgrade. The machine is very successful at pb

As was stated, there are a number of variables that could come into play. I have used AirVac DRS26 and SRT Machines. We are now using Shuttle Star which has IR as well as hot air heat. This works much better for us. You can view these at. http://www.

Being in the line of BGA rework and having performed much rework on boards that go into military planes, I can give you an opinion from a practical background rather than an in depth study. Basically BGA's have caused many of my customers big headac

You didn't explain exactly how you are reworking the BGA and at what point the pad comes off. Assuming it's from an iron... The biggest cause of lifted pads is too much heat. Whether it be the iron temp or the amount of time the iron is on the pad

Sal, This is a common problem experienced by several OEM's. It all comes down to heat. This is why the problem is corrected on your repair unit. I would suggest using a Slim Kic or Data Pac (mole) to thermal couple the IC prior to the reflow oven.

I have worked with the PDR type rework station on and off for 12 years and have found that the IR can offer a lot of advantages over hot air. As was mentioned the lack of nozzels is a great advantage. The back heater takes a while to warm up but on
