Non-wetting on 0402 chips capacitors

Electronics Forum | Wed May 09 15:15:52 EDT 2001 | caldon

Your process needs some refining. How long did it take to wet? How much force did it take to break the surface tension? What type of solder was in the solder pot? What type of flux was used? What was the pot temperature? Did you take a cap and p

Can the old datecode Entek PCB be converted to HASL ?

We can offer two ways. We have a process control tool for OSP boards to validate the finish......but the dates yer talking may be best to take Daves F suggestion. NOW as far as the HASL finish goes...We may have your answer. We can Chemically revers

I am not familiar with the ERSA system you talk about but wanted to let you know there is another company call PDR that also uses IR and no nozzles. the machine is pretty slick and easy to use and set up. We have found no adverse affects to the IR he

You will need to prepare the component and site for rework. Using solder wick remove the solder from the pad site and the component balls. You can also use a heated Vacuum desoldering tool. To reball we have been using Winslow Automation reballing ki

Why is NC the prefer process for BGA mounting? why not WS?

A) The standoff height of some uBGA components does not allow water to penatrate under the component. B)Water soluable may dilute the flux and not remove it all together. This can be tested with Ion Chromatography. C) Water soluable in some cases ne

Possible to temporarily store mounted but not soldered PCB's?

Moisture would be my main concern. Even though components are plastic, they can absorb moisture. Moisture is also detrimental to the the solder itself. The water droplets that are left behind (evaporated even) could cause problems (i.e. chlorides).

Can you confirm the components are being picked up from the feeders? If the Feeder table calibration is incorrect the components could be picked up off from the begining. This would result in 1) nozzle barely picking up the part and as the head moves

Stephano- There is a Chemical process to revert the contamination back to its original form. The EMPF Developed it back a few years ago in conjunction with Rockwell and some others. Please contact ACI at 610-362-1200 and ask for Dr. Greg Parks. This
