Here's a related question: How hot can a PBGA get before popcorn delamination becomes a concern? 100 C? 150C? I realize that the answer will depend upon the conditioning of the part, so let's assume that the part is saturated with moisture. A pra

My first posting was not very clear -- sorry. Let me try again. What I want to know is: can I eliminate the drying (baking) process completely IF I know that the good parts (i.e., those not being reworked) are going to stay under some threshold tem

We've talked about assembling on flex previously. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for background. Issues that come to mind [which is very risky, given that this Saturday morning and last night was at Jimbo's] are: * Use carriers that can flow thoug

I'd don't believe that the reels need to be ESD protective material. The carrier and cover tape have resistivity and materials specifications. Start with EIA-481. In past threads on SMTnet, we have discussed problems in picking components that wer

When double sided BGA's are used on an .062 FR4 10 layer board should via's be plugged and tented? The CACHE chips being used are PBGA's 1.27mm pitch. The pad size is .030 and the finished via dia. is .010. This is a dogbone type pad and via design.

You are correct about the location of wood on your friendly neighborhood triboelectric scale. But unfortunately for us [and fortunately for the ESD protected material board rack salesperson], the scale does not recognize the effect of the moisture t

To Dave F. Thanks for your comments. I should point out that I am not well versed in SMT, I am more of a thick film and chip man. However I will look into your leads. I will try and find out more about the Quad equipment. I am very wary in getting
