Does anyone know of a manufacturer of a Small Bench Top Convection Oven that could be used to reball BGAs? Right now we use Winslow Preforms and an Air-Vac DRS24 or our reflow ovens, but this ties them up too much and I'd like to keep reballing seper

Stephano: Our supplier specification sheets define 0 to 50�C operating temperature for most devices. Sheets for other devices to 70(75?)�C. Storage for the first group is 0 to 65�C. Heck, why don't you float a couple the puppies and check their o

BGA's are not difficult, but should be inspected no matter how careful you are. Here we have been doing bga's forever and x-ray 100%. Without an x-ray there is no good way to ensure the BGA is placed properly, without bridging or insufficients. If yo
