It is the solder ball that's usually encountered in a reflow process. It's just that, the paste did not wet well along the connector pins. Before reflow, the paste is actually at the tip of the connector, and stayed there and never went up to fill th

You using lead free BGAS now? What is your rework equipment and process? I am sure we can help you out here with some more detail, you should get the package data sheets for your problem BGAs and determine ball alloy or they may even be CCGA packag

We process a double-side reflow board (10 ups). Chips and IC's on the bottom side while chips, IC's plus thru-hole connectors and IC sockets on top side (bottom side first then top side reflow). In the past, we were not encountering any soldering pro

| I need some advice concerning reflow of a BGA-292. Since I am not ready to change my entire process to no-clean, I decided to place the lone BGA-292 on a proto run using our BGA re-work station. The pcb is a moderately dense, single-sided, 8-laye

Joe: I know this is not the correct forum to post chip "reworking" questions. Reply: Rework questions are as appropriate as the next topic here on SMTnet J: BGA will not reflow at any normal temperature level. I believe these chips may have been gen

I've tried a different lot of the same double header connector (yes its double level right angled header conector) twice but nothing has improved. I've also suspected that top row of the connector has greater heat sinking capacity (which should hold

You're correct. It is curious. Possible angles to look at are: 1 WS609 loves moisture in the air. In high humidity shops, this paste hakes-on liquid. If this is the case, you should also see slumping, resulting in fine pitch bridging, and solder

We had an order using a 2up PCB (same manufacturer) with same components and same board layout without any problems. Perfect run. The next order ran on the same day with same paste using same parts, same layout, same profile, but different 2up PCB h

| We use no clean paste and sometimes experience | flux splattering which gives spot on gold fingers. | Need help in analize the cause. thx. Dominic, That is STILL a problem huh? It's a tough one to solve sometimes...especially when you have as
