Hi Steve, What type of flux? How do you apply it? What kind of wave? Rite off the cuff, I'd say you're applying too much flux, but without knowing a little more, it's tuff to say. It could even be board related. Hate to see what WML has to say

Dave, I have never even seen black pad - even in my subby days. As my wife says whenever I find a good parking spot: "Lucky Darby and his beautiful wife!" This is particularly so if we go to Watto�s - www.sydneypubguide.net/pubs/Watsons_Bay_Hotel_(D

Once a rock star, always a rock star, eh bubba? Ozz don't forget stuff like that. After a half liter of golden merriment, I don't care about how odd the food tastes, I just want to remain agile enough to dodge the sinkholes on the way home.

Hi Folks, When temp profiling bga rework how important is thermocouple placement. Have read that holes should be drilled from board underside into ball to accomodate probe (isn't theory wonderful). Probably ok for high volume rework but for 1 or 2 of

Sounds like your PCBs are now white tin. Change this to another roHS compliant finish and see if prob goes away. You must get control of the materials that you are being asked to build. Your Customer needs your advice on surface finishes, they sho

There is a quick change dedicated tooling solution. It involves a "h-tower" and a machined vacuum (or non-vacuum) plate. There are two 8mm threaded holes on the table that are there for support tooling interface. The tower or tooling bolts to thos

Check for coplaner leads if this just exists at reflow process, i.e. look at part before oven, turn on 3D at placement machine. If you see after wave solder, the wave could cause coplanarity issues on top as well if you are going slow enough to refl

Is the solder reflowing on the pad but not wicking up the lead, or does there appear to be insufficient solder to wet both, or is it not reflowing at all, or.....? Have you verified your profile? What is the condition of your paste (expiration date,

BGA cracking is caused by mechanical stress. This may be the result of: * Rough handling of soldered board * Inadequate consideration during package design of CTE effects on BGA * Poor control of or selection of thermal ramp rates during soldering
