My company is just getting into the flip chip packaging arena. We are putting in a prototype/small volume wire bond PBGA line. We have some questions with regard to choosing solder balls and cleaning of flux. 1) Is there a formula for the shrink

Good Morning, We have a 3D solder paste inspection machine. We purchased it on a recommendation from a consultant. We are a CM high mix low volume. The President of my company has attended some seminars and meetings where it was conveyed to her that

I'll be real brief, because of time, but feel free to contact me later (lgoldberg@chipcenter.com). There is big conceren (somewhat well-founded but a bit overblown) about lead form electronics products leaching into the environment when they are land

3d is good for initial verification that your screen printer and stencil is producing the desired paste height. 2D verification is more than sufficient during regular production. That being said, your best bet for a 3D machine is to go cheap - buy

Jeremy, well said! Thanks for "validating" my theory... LOL I agree that the sampling frequency, AND methodology are key things with 3D inspection. 3D will give you some insight onto how your paste (rheology, viscosity, thixotropy)AND process are

This is my attempt at beating the "Fuzzburg 7" translator used on the SMTnet Forum that mashes everything it sees. Below the next paragraph are three paragraphs,each with a common numering sequence, where each paragraph represents the columns of a t

Hi ji tae, we had a similar problem with QFPs 0,5 pitch processed by one subcontractor. The symptoms we noticed were: - the solderjointshape and wetting looked normal - the surface had a dull gray appearance - by pushing a lead sideways with a tweez
