A couple of other potential issues are moisture/reflow related issues. This can include internal delaminations inside the component, potentially breaking or lifting the wirebonds. It may also induce warpage where the corners of the BGA will curl up.

Well, regarding the paste specifications, it's no problem to add yours if it's not allready defined in the default library; parameters are for example, soak temp min & max, liquidous, ramp positive max, spike ramp min & max, all timings and so on. n

The alloy I have chosen uses a wetting angle of 50-70 degrees. Different alloys have different properties. I coupled experimental data with what others have published. Nothing new here. As for reliability...I think you'll be surprised what lead fr

Your company has chosen to define its requirements for tracebility as it has. So, people there should be able to help you understand their purpose and intent. For instance: * We distinguish between 'repair' and 'rework'. Repair requires a MRB ac

I am most familiar with Heller (10 yrs. of 1088 4 zone - 1800 8 zone ovens) and find them to be very reliable. Other Manufacturers may have five zone ovens on the used market. (I used Petlock as an example because you could get data sheets/specs from

Hello there, We have a Panasonic MVIIC with a bad PCB camera. The amp is fine, we tested that by swapping it with the small and large parts camera. When the machine is shut down for a while and we bring it back up, it takes hours for the PCB camer

We agree with Pat, but it's far from straight forward. [er maybe we should say we don't understand it.] We duplicated the results of a posting on the web. Flux, then dunk copper wire into tinning pots set at 250*C for measured periods of time. The
