Hi, What contributes to the above? I've got some BGA solder joints with a crystal like flux attached to it like a mini solder ball but do not have a perfect round shape. I had my aqueous cleaner's DI water sent for analysis and everything looks okay

Hello, If I do understand it correct, the dust in your oven are salt-crystals, comming from No-clean fluxes. We had them also once, it was a problem with one fan in the oven, I think you should check your fans inside the oven. Our extraction was OK,

Sean, We suggest having the PCB tested for ionic cleanliness. It is conceivable that though the visible flux residue has been cleaned, there is still invisible, yet ionically significant residue in the area of the board/part. We also suggest ensur

Eldon: From you description, I think 3M makes the stuff you�re talking about. They can give you a source to kiss-cut it to your requirements. Good luck. Dave F

I just can not get over the size of these crystals. What is the chronology of and the span of the thermal cycles this BGA has seen.[Just guess at the fabrication cycles, if it's difficult to determine]

Armin: Are you washing the brds after wave? If so there are water soluble spacers out there that work great and are removed through the washing process!

a good source for spacers of all kinds, including the wash aways, is Bivar in California @ 714/951-8808 John Thorup

You said that you were sole sourced. Are you in need of a second source for crystals or oscillators? My company manufactures these components. send me an e-mail if you are interested.

We notice that DI water seems to tarnish or discolor the metal packaging on crystals and DIN connectors. Our marketing types like the shiney metal surfaces. We don't want to hand solder these parts after washing. Any suggestions? Dave F
