Hi Guys, Thanks for all your informative replies. I do know that Motorola is using a No Clean Eutectic Solder for their BGA's. We are in Aerospace and is using a Water Soluble Paste Flux. Now, a) Can anyone explain to me about the effect of thei

Our company if currently reviewing our BGA Screen Printing Process. The problem we are trying to eliminate has to do with BGA Ball Size Variance. Some of our vendors are allowing a +/- of 0.004" in ball size. This would allow for the possibility of a

I'm doing lead-free SMT of BGA with 450 micron ball. I found there are lots of voids under xray, there are around 2-3 voids in every balls. It is around 10% of volume ratio. I would like to ask if anyone know there is any standard of acceptable maxim

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

Hey Dreamy, Dave is correct. If you attempt to clean your water soluble (OA) flux with water only, you will turn the no-clean flux white. No inspector or end-user will accept this. If a proper cleaning system is not available to you, then I would

Q1: Can anyone explain to me about the effect of their mixture. A1: What is their �mixture�? Q2: What enhancement does my BGA will have when using a WS paste flux with regards to corrosion, 25 years life cycle of the solder joint. A2: Tough to say

Dreamy, OA fluxes / pastes have differing levels of activity. Most OA fluxes must be cleaned very soon after reflow. OA fluxes and pastes, while offering an aggressive flux package and a relatively easy removal (solubility in water), they are the

What kind of cleaning method you recommend for PCB - double side SMD (fine pitch and BGA components) and THT elements (PCB are for microwave application!!). Process technology no-clean.We have to remove grease-fingerprints, dust etc. It is low volume

Thank you for your replies. We use No-Clean Paste and some customers do not want any residue left around solder joint even so, so little. They want the residue washed completely. If we use water-soluble flux, we still need to wash, anyway. Their conc
