| Looking for articles/data comparing the quality/reliability of mass | reflowed SMT solderjoints versus hand soldered SMT solderjoints. As solder joint quality most often is subjective - that is visually compared with graphic examples, IPC is the B

For Linear Tech LGA's we solder bump the LGA using a .30mm solder ball then reflow with a tacky flux. This will provide a void free solder joint and adds a little height to the solder joint in case you use a flux that you want to clean from under th

We are planning on using a chip that is available in LGA or Sn/Pb balled BGA. The package dimensions are the same. Pitch = 1.27mm. We are using a Sn/Pb soldering process and no clean paste (wash afterward) for high reliability Class 3 assemblies. Fai

"LGA" [land grid array] is a pretty broad topic. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for background on: * BGA * uBGA * Flip chip * etc Consider: * Area Array Packaging Handbook: Manufacturing and Assembly; Ken Gilleo; McGraw-Hill Professional; 1st edit

| Can someone please advise me to the rework procedure for removal and replacing Ceramic Chip Capacitors (e.g. 0805, 1206, etc.)? | | Is it necessary to pre-heat ceramic capacitors before soldering them onto a PCB with a soldering iron? Is this just

I guess it all depends on volume. If you are talking thousands of PCB's, then automation is best, if possible. Otherwise, hand-soldering them post-production is the obvious solution. How about bill-boarding them? That way, they would fit on the land

| Mornin! | | We just had vendor in here pitching a "low-temperature rework system" which was intriguing, but too expensive. He did get me to thinking though, beyond heating ceramic caps before hand-soldering them, it seems like it would be ad

Some of this was copped from Fred. There are numerous package types that now fall under the rubric of land grid array [LGA]. Land grid devices [ie, Bumped Chip Carrier� [BCC], LGA, Quad Flat-pack No-lead [QFN], MicroLeadFrame�, etc] are essentially

We'd suggest using your connector supplier recommendations. Some use: * Pad Plating: 20-30 uin Au over 50 uin Ni (You might get away with less gold) * In-Pad Vias: less than half the diameter of the button (for contact-only configurations) * PCB/C

Dear All I have a question for the reflow machine. I'm using Vitronics(Mr933+)reflow. The peak temperature of the (Chip, LED, SOT) component higher than (QFP,LGA) about 4 degree when i measured proflie. All of them on the same board . I don't know w
