Dear Robert, On PBGA assembly, BGA sphere shrinkage number depends to the following factors, a. BGA Sphere size (before reflow) b. Solder mask opening diameter As far as I know, no formular has been established yet. Most of my friends just collect

I need to side mount a standard HC-49/U crystal on a board using double sided foam tape. I am looking for a source for pre-cut foam tape. In prototype runs I have used 3M #4950 foam tape cut to size one at a time. But for production I want it pre-

I work for a contract manufacture of PCB's, we are also in the BGA rework business. We see all kinds of different size boards, as well as different types of BGA's and micro BGA's. We selected the Conceptronics Freedom 2000 over the Air Vac and SRT. T

I have used both the QX2 and BGA3500 hot air rework system from Metcal; both are great systems; the QX2 is a very simple system for leaded devices, easily trained and very inexpensive compared to SRT, Air Vac, and Conceptronics. The BGA3500 works on

Russ, I'd be happy to buy your Chipmaster back. The fact that you don't like the unit tells me you don't do rework. If you were unsatisfied, why didn't you call? (305-451-4722) APE offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We would have given you a ful

Casey, I will start with the lack of thermo-couple control - The unit I have is based on time and temp. exclusively. What happens when a cold board gets reworked vs. a hot board? No bottom side preheat, the heating is very localized to topside a

Hello 1-In our facility we face a lot of power failures due to the to the city electricity network problems.So, it has hppend many times to loose some PCA's inside the reflow oven. Of course it costs a big money to buy a UPS for a reflow oven. One

Istv�n: Given a choice, I�d run second side PLCC44s at 90� to the wave. As far as thieves are concerned, I�d have two, mirror images of each other. Unlike most, these thieves are not connected to pads. They are out-side of the last pad on the sid

I have the situation where we may need to use a variety of reflow temperatures. It seems that the design engineers want us to try a variety of "unspecified" pastes on the products. For example, the first PCB would be assembled using a higher temperat

I have seen this problem several times on several different IP3's... When the MTU is about to pick a part from the tray, the machine will just stop. No error, just says, "producting", in green. E-stop, reset and start again, and you hear air from
