I have never tried this and wouldn�t really even want to consider it. Epoxy generally cures at around 160c in a fairly short amount of time, solder paste requires much more time and a peek temperature of about 210c or more in some cases. Curing you

For what you have right now I would recommend that you use soldering iron tips that are made for component removal. until you get BGAs I wouldn't worry a whole lot about the expensive rework equipment. I would use specialty tips and a heat gun wit

joanne please pay attention, each heavy no-clean flux residues not completely heated due to hand soldering becomes a moisture absorbing conductive pathway, causing electrical leakage. So I suggest you to clean well the board after hand soldering or

I can't picture much of what you're saying, not for nothing, I'm just not connecting. During assembly, solder mask can affected by heat and chemicals. Typically this would be during: * Soldering * Cleaning I will tell you this: Not to defend assem

Ok lets put it this way. If the PCB house used a high quality mask and properly applied it to a properly cleaned surface and properly cured it, then as Dave stated above there are only two things that can destroy it. Excessive heat and overly aggress

| Dear all, | | What are your views on reworking BGA's? I mean, with the BGA going through reflow temperatures four times or more, and with a manual reballing process, wouldn't it raise up a few reliability issues? Would you consider not doing rew

Hey Ya'll! Have any of you ever worked with one of V-Tek's "Economax" tape and reel machines? The biggest thing I'm curious about is the type of cover tape that these machines use. It's something they call P.S.A. (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive)cover t

TDK makes the CGA series "soft termination" caps. The p/n we use is CGA3E3X7S1A225K080AE, which will get you in the ball park for datasheets. We have moved to this to counter some variability in a heat staking machine (that we have yet to work out

The European WEEE has issued a new (5th) version of its recommendations. In it they say that , on January 1st, 2004, they will review the status of the Pb-Free issue. There is currently NO DEADLINE for implementation. As far as a direct replacemen

I have an underfill material which takes 6 hours to cure. It works great, better than any other underfill I have ever used. A vertical cure oven is too expensive. I am currently using batch style ovens and opening the oven door as additional produ
