HI I used both of solder leveling HASL and ENIG, HASL I can recommended for biger pitch is cheaper solder leveling than ENIG but problem with that solder leveling is during the reflow process HASL isn't flat and during reflow process component move

Are you running a lead free process? If not, have you identified these as lead free components? If so, have you increased the temps in your profile to accomodate that? After that, I'd look for a AgPd (silver/palladium) or some other such PITA platin

Dear all, Recently we encountered some functionality failure when using lead-free component(Sn99.3/Cu0.7)at SnPb(Sn63Pb37) wave soldering process. Can lead-free component use at non-lead free process? Any input/idea are much appreciated. Rgds

In agreement, in that you should have already printed enough paste on the board to accomodate the joint. Adding paste would give the result you described. (too much solder) Adding a little flux (only) and heat would be the correct path out of that s

We'd be incluned to dip the BGA ball in tacky flux, place the BGA on the PTH interposer, reflow that suka, and get on with things. [Take the people involved out to lunch with the money you save on not buying a stencil.] On damaging the glop top, we'

I agree re; "always will be some assemblies that must be repaired". This is unlikely to lessen in the near term with an imminent move toward Lead-free. We are currently working with Cookson, PACE, and BEST developing a course in lead-free rework wh

Joseph, We have all been using lead free components for some time. Many passive already have a Pb free plating and we have not seen catastophic failures on them. From the information I have seen, I think this should be OK (with the exception of BGA'

Dear Patrick, Unfortunately we do not know what exactly the failure as our customer refuse to reveal to us. From visual inspection the solder joints are smooth and shiny as per IPC-A-610 requirements. The component supplier (IR) commended that they

Clarissa: We've all done thing on a limited basis, especially on prototype boards, but this doesn't sound like a limited basis, or prototype boards. (And may be I reading too much into this, we all know the frailities of conversing like this.) Thi

I want to avoid peoples preferences as they will differ and will not be a deciding factor. A heat gun will introduce risk to surrounding PTH components and having to add protection for those, will limit any gain in productivity. There is no question
