After a whole night's self review, I think we can term the slant/tilt as "floating 0805, yet end-terminals have acceptable solder joint formation". the width portion of the 0805 RES/CAP is (floating)elevated from the PCB pad, yet both (width) termin

Steve, I'd second Daan's opinion. BGA profile we use gets a peak of 210deg-C to 223deg-C (but that's using our WS paste unique characteristics) with reflow zone holding time of 45-60sec. We had 6 PBGA and 2 ceramic BGA on a 6 layer PCB. typical p

For manual X-ray systems: Kv power to start off with. Depending on what type of components you have to X-ray, you may be ok w/ just a 90Kv system, for example. Its not all about Kv though. With most systems you can adjust to quantity of X-rays you ar

Hi Guys, I need your opinion here. Has anyone tried doing this Process: Bottomside Process first which means gluing the chip components then reflowing the Glue instead of Curing them, then Topside process which is solder paste printing then compone

I assumed the balls were tin/silver 221C or tin/silver/copper 218C liquiduous....but, this is obviously not the case. It looks like you balls are almost pure tin (mp=238C) You are correct. This is exactly the same as using 10/90 high temp balls o

If this code is on a ceramic cap then it is a 0.1uf cap. We have a conversion charts that list most all codes. Useing the last 2 digets only determine the value. The capatol letters A thru Z are given specfic numerical value. Example A0 is 1.0pf, A1

Hi Tom, Thanks for the compliment. I've been researching and planning for the time that my company would go lead free since late in 1999. I hear you there, how do we know that the component is lead free. Baring a leap of faith with your vendors, I
