Unfortunately it's not what you know, but who you know. Sounds like it in your case. Tread lightly as this guy may become your boss. It happened to me. New guy comes in, couldn't tell the "red stuff" from the "gray stuff" (adhesive / paste in cas

If I understand correctly you want to pick BGAs from the ball side using some type of vacuum arrangement. You will find that the reliability of this is dependant on the size of the balls and the pitch. The larger the balls and tighter the pitch, th

I like what you're doing. 20 years ago anyone, hobbyists and tiny garage-shop companies could create electronics devices just as sophisticated and cool as big corporations. Today, SMT has largely trashed the creativity (and competition) that existe

I will be building a board, about 8 X 12 , .062" thick using a standard FR406 stackup. It has a variety of devices, including CCBGA , CBGA and PBGA's. Given the challenge of developing a reflow profile that will accomodate both ceramic and plastic BG
