Hi Jaqueline, my first thought goes into the same direction, twist or warp (either the board or the BGA itself). I don�t know the SRT equipment. I�ve noticed with our equipment using a spot underheat element caused some warpage of the PCB making it

O.K., I give up. I am through trying to solder thermocouples on to 20 mil pitch QFPs. Whether it's my lousy technique (fairly likely), the wrong solder (Kester calls it thermocouple solder, and who am I to argue...it's a Sn10Pb88Ag2 alloy) or just

Doug: I guess every solderability preservative has it�s fans. You know what the issue is? � A supplier that makes it�s customer happy by doing a good job processing material!!!! I�m a HASL guy myself � too much heartache with the other stuff. Giv

We have had a similar problem here and looked to using a bar code reader system available from our pick and place machine manufacturer (Siemens) the big downside of this was that we needed to maintain a barcode database for all our components to ensu

Recently I completed a process evaluation on various stencil / misprinted PCB cleaning systems. They were both ultrasonic (theoretically can damage PCB�s) and the more conventional method of high pressure rotary bar method. I found that the best sys

Hello CK Do I understand you correctly that you are reflow soldering a copper case containing a previously assembled PCA? Insulation would seem to pose a few problems that would need to be passed on by the design engineer. 1. Keeping the heat of refl

GJ: If your supplier uses a conformal coating that "must be applied to a clean surface," then you are using the wrong supplier and no amount of twiddling with your N2 levels will change this. NC fluxes are inherently "dirty" and nothing aside of cle

Tom: So is warp or is it twist? They�re different problems, possibly with different sources!!! And possibly different solutions!!! Consultants to talk to are: Earl Moon (pod@vcn.com), Werner Engelmeyer (engelmaier@aol.com), Les Hymes (les.hymes@w

Ditto to everything said. If everything in the process is correct you will have good success at 25 mil but it will take much care. I have done 20 mil on this type of printer but, as Steve says, I wouldn't want to on a daily basis. Those wipe-offs a

I have evaluated SRT, Air-Vac and Conceptronic rework stations. All three machines offer great BGA and Micro BGA rework capability. But the one I have preferred is the Conceptronic Freedom 2000, as a matter of fact I have purchased two freedom 2000 i
