Granite is a porous material and if anyone decided to clean this material you probably have an insulative barrier thus you would never have static dissipation. Spend $45.00 and put a mat over the granite or spend $80.00 and get an esd laminate materi

Warpage problem causes * MLB constructions (not homogeneous or unbalanced - too resin rich or poor) * Supplier process capabilities (lamination cycles) * Material selections (usually cheap and dirty), etc.

Jim Can you be more specific? What's going "yellow / beige" on you? * Laminate * Solder mask * Legend

Tg is just a way to say when the board goes limp... or a quick way to rank laminates... who cares. For lead free you want to look at Td, Decomposition Temperatures. ( Temp at which the material weight changes by 5% )

Is anyone aware of any standard for bare board laminate for lead free assembly? We have been using IS410 with good results but not sure if maybe it is overkill and not worth the price premium? What is everyone else using?

CBGA stands for Ceramic Ball grid array while PBGA stands for Ceramic Ball grid array. Noticable difference is the substrate used , one is using ceramic and one is using BT laminate. Regards

Hello, I've ran into information claiming that ESD dissipative floor mats and laminate is not effective unless paired with ESD footwear or heel straps. Can anyone confirm or deny? Thanks! -OtheRuss

Since I didn't see it mentioned - Are you specifying a laminate that is considered compatible with a RoHS process? I don't mean just a high Tg but a high Td (decomposition) and CTE material such as Isola 410, FR408 etc.

We use the Isola 410 laminate. They just issued a tech bulletin on the same day (coincidence???) that we found the problem. It mostly talks about handling (i.e. environmental storage) and pre-bake operations to prevent issues like this.
