Can anyone give me the virtues of SMT package castellations vs. no castellations with particular reference to the ruggedness and reliability of the solder joints? Any references or studies that you can point me to? Also, although I'm in favor of pr

Check this company out....Winslow Automation. They have a real easy "preform" for reworking BGA's. You just wick the old solder off, flux the packages, attach an appropriate preform, reflow it with a corresponding profile, remove the water-soluble pa

Greetings, We are discussing what should and what should not be baked and vacuum packed. Should we just concentrate on the fine pitch packages and the bga's? What about those components which come on blister tape, should they get baked and re-packed

As CSP and BGA packages become more and more popular, I want to know if anyone get problem to assembly CSP packages. Currently, most CSP use 20mil solder ball diameter and it is a trend to go down to 16mil or even 12mil. I wonder if there is a probl

| Does anyone have any experience with vibration testing of BGA packages and assemblies? We are starting to design BGA's into some of our products and we have not found very much information on vibrational test results. Any information will be help

Hi Dave, Thanks for your response. HAST is an acronym for Highly Accelerated Stress Testing. Instead of the conventional PCT or Autoclave which requires say 168 hours, HAST can tremendously shorten the time. There has been correlation being estab

I'm very familiar with the great board space savings of BGA and all the "claims to fame." However, can someone out there tell me if any concern exist in the inspection realm. Additionally, solder cracking, CTE/TCE mismatches, no leads for stress reli
