Hi there There are a number of things worth considering when viewing bga's. Firstly, like any other solder joint that you have been inspecting for years, suface finish is critical. Secondly, and again like other joints shape is important. Now it may

5 years ago (mostly likely 7-8 yrs). Most of these failures can be attributed to simple overtemp conditions or mechanical stress. Customers who do not keep the cooling fan filters clean on their machines tend to see a higher failure rate due to highe

First, I should state that my company manufacturers batch and inline de-fluxing systems. Because we manufacture both formats, we remain unbiased. In fact, it is in our best interest to recommend inline cleaners since they sell for considerably more

Now I've checked the archives on this and found the starts of an answer but not much else, but then that posting was a while ago and I though there would be some more data now. So here's the question: who, if anyone is placeign Pb-free BGA's (ideally

Dedicated tooling uses what MPM calls an "H" tower. You mount the board support plate (dedicated tooling) on top of the H tower. If boards are only single-sided SMT, meaning only components on one side, the board support plate is flat with vacuum hol

Machine design plays a major factor in actual placement rate vs. the published tact time max speed. For example, random access horizontal turret head machines can vary greatly depending on nr. of different components and size ranges, while the dual g

Has anyone ever seen the distributions that result when plotting percent voiding? (Typically a BGA will have enough balls that you can get oogles of data.) I have seen this and seem to be noticing a pattern. First, they are not all normal, so your

Today, I have just finished evaluating Kester's EM907 (SAC305)lead free solder paste and found that for our applications it performs as expected. End result that I am encouraged with the results that we got. The equipment that I used: An SMT2020 to
