Hello everyone, I work for a company that, up until now, has done everything using through-hole components. This has been fine for years, but we have been pushed into the world of surface mount manufacturing by a new product that is far cheaper and

I�m not sure but it looks like the �mini-chip thingie� is a filter cap if so it should not stop the playstation from working, may not work like you like but should do something. Did you use any static protection? If not you may have fried one or all

All, For what it's worth the only time I have experienced this phenom was when board support pins were misplaced on our chip shooter and these components (previously placed) were resting on the pins and cracking when we populated the other side o

In response to your questions: 1) Suggestions on substrate material FR-4 or something better? Most PBGA are on BT. That might good for you, also. 2) Are there design guidelines for wire bonding pattern on the substrate? Several things: 1 Doesn�t

Frank: Good luck on finding a specification. The right combination of material properties will greatly improve the lifetime of your flip chip component. Your flip chip supplier might be best starting place to determine underfill properties that ma

Bill, I can give you suggestions. First and foremost. Print a board and look under a microscope. Are you printing exactly on the pads? If you print on the mask, no matter how good we got the profile, no matter what paste we would get solder balls. Mo

We are currently having a conflict of opinion with our QA department regarding the very few occurences we have of chip resistors being soldered upside down (i.e. the resistive element towards the board). IPC-A-610C para 12.3.2 specifies that this co

Determining cost of rework is based on usage and application. Photonic soldering saves an average of 5 minutes per rework site in process time and may save a significant amount of labor. Depending on volume, and specifics on the application, the cos

Dave: You're probably correct about too much paste, given that your balling is congrigated near the center of the chips. Three things to consider: 1 Lower temperature profile @ front 3 zones 2 I've heard some stencil suppliers can plate addition
