Oooo, the solder on the pad and PGA ball is flowing during reflow down the via to the secondary side? Why didn�t you say so?? ;-) Why would you expect that gravity and capillary action wouldn�t force solder to flow down the solder plated via to the

Mr. Wizard is not currently available. You get the wizzer. Maybe your dream date will show later. Get your own lab tests done. Show your potential customer that your boards are clean. That�s the issue. The issue is not how you go about cleaning

Here's my 2 cents....... I worked for a small company that manufactures pick and place machines and had the task of testing/troubleshooting and the dreaded calibration. These machines used vision for part orentation and have what I considered aweso

How do you know that "approx 450�C" is "too high"? As a side, the temperature on the temperature sensor is: * Inaccurate. * Not the temperature at the solder. Listen, operators are smart people. They have figured-out that they can solder faster wi

First, SIR data is heavily dependant on the test pattern selected. Be very careful when comparing the results of resistance readings taken from different geometric patterns. Second, if yer talkin': * Bare boards, yupper. * Finished assemblies impor
