Steven, While agreeing with your method here, I also would like to ask a question since we're right on that subject. Have you ever experienced problems with IR heating while working with a Heat-Slug BGA, or a Viper BGA where the whole top is covere

I agree with CL. Most people blame the BGA cause it's a mystery chip to most people. Only after replacing the BGA several times do most people look else where. 90% of the time it's something else. Doing all your engineering work up front is the

'Hege is checking in for the DRS25 by Air Vac. Forced Air Convection reflow, and huge heating capacity for bottom side, ensuring minimum Delta T across the PCB during the process. Have 3 of these machines constantly in use for the last 2 and a half

Thanks, We currently use Metcals for our regular work and I was looking at the ERSA system for the BGA rework. From what I have seen it seems simple to use, and since it uses IR you don�t need all the attachments for different size BGA�s. You just
Electronics Forum | Mon Mar 08 09:03:17 EST 2004 | russ
Is this problem really related to the size of the BGA OR the size/thickness of the PCB? Would I be correct in assuming that your pre-heater is small in size? Usually a board warps like this when the ramp is to great at the localized area. the imme

A few good points have been made here: The profile could be ramping too fast. The profile could be gettting too hot. The profile may need to have more "soak" time before reflow to allow the board temperatue to equalize and the board to "relax" and st

I use the exact same paste flux that we use in our solder paste for SMT manufacturing with great success. I have also had great success using the Air Vac DRS Hot Gas units with the same size BGA's. If to much heat is applied to fast to the BGA be it

I am trying to rework FP4531 underfill. Some of the underfill flowed to adjacent capacitor and resistor. Even though the datasheet says that it is non-reworkable, has anyone tried reworking / removing excess underfill? Any information would be help

Maxtim, the rework stations you mentioned are the lower end low cost units, all great machines. Now days you can get a real deal in the used market on the top of the line models offered in rework stations. There are three rework station that I consid
