Hi Steve, Are you actually profiling the BGA itself? By that I mean have you, for example, drilled through the underside of the pcb into the balls of the BGA and attached a probe there? You may find that even although the topside components have a p

We ran into this problem before, on all of our models. We never quite found out the reason, we do know that if the PCB is passed through a reflow oven that is extremely dirty with evaporated solder paste flux, it will make it extremely difficult (or

I am attempting to identify a good epoxy to hold on larger parts on thru the reflow process for the opposite side. We currently dispense epoxy prior to second reflow on the corners of the component because the epoxy we use cures before reflow and doe

Some print expiry date on reels and some specify a shelf life on data sheets. Two main reasons are that the flux in the wire is a mix of chemicals and over time in storage these can react so soldering performance can be changed. Although I have to sa

Also, it wouldn't hurt to perform SERA testing to determine the amount of free tin to begin with. From what I remember, I think you need 30 microinches of free tin to ensure success. XRF won't give you an accurate thickness reading as it counts the
