Jeremy, Would socketing the chip help you guys out at all? One of the sales rep's I use also rep's a company that builds custom sockets/interface boards for BGA packages. I can get their info, if you're interested. cheers ..rob

Hi. We are currently using an unconventional method to rework a micro BGA - removing component with hot air, fluxing the area, placing the part with pick and place, then reflowing it in the oven. The reason we are doing it this way and not with a r

I worked with a few BGA rework stations and also had the chance to see several demos on different brands. THe good ones that can really do it are equipped with camera, infrared under the board, different nozzles and a hot air comming from the head(di

SFC and PhilC To answer one open question, and I too have difficulty with little stencils and preforms..... If you can manage, try dipping your balls in paste. It adds the right amount of flux and a bit of metal as well. We have a nice Rework Stat

First question - do you have a rework station? If so, are you experiencing the same type of failures there? I have successfully used no-clean on uBGA's in the past. 6 mil solder bumps, 10 mil spacing. 88 sites. Are you reusing previously soldered uB

Hi All. We are a tiny startup company developing an IC in a flip-chip CSP package. We find ourselves in need of being able to remove and replace (ie rework) our chip on a characterization board. The board will not be big and the chip is very small

Many thanks for the (very) useful and honest answer. I had thought that £1000 was too little, but we don't have a local supplier, so have to rely on internet descriptions. There appears to be many machines out there described as "BGA replacement mach

Well our small UK based company is I guess in a similar situation, there isn't the volume or value to justify an expensive solution for fiddly rework tasks. But it would certainly be nice to have one and may become more important in future as people
