First, it depends on the alloy composition of the solder. As you might know, eutectic Sn/Pb solder has the lowest melting point among available conventional solder systems. (except those based on Sn-In and Sn-Bi systems.) For example, 63Sn/37Pb - 183

Russ, These are the pb free components that you mentioned that are coming around the bend. Not the old CBGA's. I use to use CBGA's alot with former company. These are 15 x 15 mm plastic BGA's with 14 mil pg free solder balls going on 8 mil gold pads.

I'm trying to help one of our remote sites solve a problem with a warped PBGA. The corners are lifted, creating columnar joints and the central balls are sometimes shorting. I've verified that it's not popcorning and I've got samples going to the l

Currently we are using a 2 step vapor soldering process to manufacture our std. lead soldered parts. The first step was done with a ls240 vapor fluid and the second was done with a ls200 fluid. Using a 221 deg C sn95/Ag5 solder for the first step a

Hi, I am having problems reworking a lead free PBGA (23mm x 23mm, 1mm pitch). The board is relatively small (5" X 4" X 0.063"). During the removal stage, a thermocouple was placed at the solder ball level (between the board and underneath of compo

Please accept my apologies for being offtopic. I have tried posting on the career center, and our job even appeared at the top of the most recent smtnet email newsletter. Still, we received essentially zero response. I'm hoping maybe a post here mi

I am seeing poor quality solder joints, mostly on 0402 components. The problem is that while the pad on the pcb is getting fully wetted, the solder is not flowing up the sides of the 0402 component, i.e. the 0402 lead is somewhat de-wetting. The re

Hi, it is a not given clear here. I will tell you some basics about the profiling: 1. Profile stages A. Preheat - the board preheats from room temp to 130-150C depending on the paste B. Soak - 150-170(or other range depending on the paste). here th

We are attaching 0.50mm diameter SAC 305 solder balls onto 0.38 diameter Au plated pins placed at a 0.80mm pitch (pins are pressed into a plastic insulator). A tacky flux is then stenciled onto the pins using a stencil with.a 0.38mm diameter aperture

| | | I have been asked to supply a maximum shelf life for our assemblied PCB's. I realise this is dependent on so many factors- temperature, humidity, no of layers etc. But does anyone have a formulae for calculating shelf life, or does anyone know
