| | I was just wondering what solutions are out there for dry storage. Our basic need is to be able to store boards that have been baked and need to remain moisture free for up to a week. | | | Michael: Let's take a different angle on this. Why

| 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

Hi, I am from Celtronix Ltd. we are a provider of Odd Form assembly equipment and have gained a lot of experience in double side reflow, both the chemical side of it as well as the automatic insertion of all types of TH components in paste. Enclosed

It sounds like you already know the answer. Hand soldering is much more stressful to a board than mass soldering, because: * It is more localized and there is no preheat. * It is more difficult to control. [Different connections require different h

DaveF is correct in saying that TAL is not the best metric to use in reflow soldering. That is why paste manufacturers give such a wide range; typically 30 to 120 seconds. The peak temperature is more important, especially in the mixed Pb and Pb-F

We have been using SN100C lead free hasl for over a year now with good success. It is very solderable and has good shelf life. You do have to make sure the finish gets applied to the correct thickness. If the lead free hasl finish is not applied thic

I'm reviewing my board fab spec. It calls for a minimum SnPb thickness of 50 microinches on HASL PWB's. I've looked at other specs that call out anything from 30 to 80 microinches, and others that just say the copper pad must be covered and soldera

I've seen smaller components have a "charred" appearance and a lack of wetting up the component termination. Also, extended heat exposure may introduce excessive IMC (intermetallic) formation - the bad kind, that is. That's where your IMC layer wil

1. What is the best way to remove polyurethane conformal coating from selected areas? Your conformal coat material supplier is best equipped to tell you how to remove the coating. Polyurethane conformal coating is not easy to remove. Without in-pu

My first concern would be the choice of solder paste you have. There are better chemistries out there that far exceed the capabilities of the 609 2. Yes, the part will partially float on the solder (assuming plastic qfp). Cross sectioning would sho
