| | Hi All, | | Any one experince BGA-chipset warp about 10-15mil after removing | | from PCB? | | FYI, the rework temperature for preheat was 170C from room | | temperature about 30 seconds, & BGA was removed at temperature | | between 190-200C.

Nonductile fracture!!! Sounds peculiar. In that case, stop wasting you time messing with the thermal recipe. Either your: * Components have poor solderability [test this by dipping the leads of a couple of the SSOP in your solder pot and then asse

I think that you will be fine. You don't want to crack the part during it's stay on a high temperature in the reflow oven(thermal shock...thermal stress...). Once you mount the part on the board it will collect moisture again, but it is already proce

First, we know of no conformal coating that will help your situation. Second, as you say, companies recognize that stress testing of shippable products is NOT good practice, because it strips life from the product. So, your product is more expensiv

| Also the preheating of the board is done to help evaporate any water/alcohol that is in the flux - water is a big problem in No-clean processes. From our experience, a temp range around 200f - no more than 220f is ideal for the bigger boards, but t

| Another basic soldering question. I notice that lead-free solders have become required for plumbing applications due to legislation. In a local hardware store, I noticed the existence of lead-free solders (based upon tin-copper I think) with a me

Our company is going to use BGA(1.27mm pitch) But I have heard of troubles with P-BGA. It is that cracks occured between solderball and gold plating of PCB during ICT(incircuit test). We know that gold plating of PWB is not good for BGA, so we decide

The real causes of microcracking are not normally due to pick and place - particularly if you are using a piece of equipment with vacuum pick up and release. The real cause of microcracking is due to thermal stresses on the die and the choice of the
