Hi Chrissie, This might be old news to you but I just wanted to make sure that you are aware of all the implications of BGA rework relative to the control of moisture-sensitive components. For example, you need to keep track of the total exposure t

Rules of thumb :- 1. Never over flux - not necessary and waste's money. Never top flux neither 2. Top Board temp. around 70C - 105C or there about's pending what laminate you use. Obviously the more flux you apply the higher heat required/denser PC

Hello all, We have came into this problem that I wanted to get everyone's input on from the SMTNET. We have roughly four pieces of equipment from a major manufacturer that we purchased from various brokers. We have two reflow ovens, one wave solder,

OK Terrapin, Here it is, roughly half hour after I vented on your reply. I still don't like your attitude to "school" me on this subject. I've been doing this way too long. But I decided that I would satisfy your attempt at "learnin" me. First, I

I don�t know, what you are going to do with this type of request. Are you indeed making up your mind because a few readers give their hands up or down? All the machines listed above do a good job. However, consider that you will be married for a long

Hi, Thanks for the info, and this really helps a lot. So the change over time is really just loading the different feeders? That does not seem like too much trouble. How does the X and Y correction on the HSP effect real world placement accuracy? D
