Hi, Would like to know if the design of the Bga pad is depth and after used solder wick and soldering iron to remove the the damage solder ball,there are still remaining solder inside the pad.Is there any method to remove the remaining solder. Thank

The methods Terry mentioned are good, but our operators are too impatient. Here's how they do site prep, after removing the BGA: * Use a soldering iron to melt the solder at the base of the ball. * Flick the ball[s] from the pad[s] with the solderin

Hi Terry, Thanks for the reply,but if the Bga are in big quantity like 10k and above,is there any faster method to solve this problem

Three methods, all work, all require generous use of flux. 1.) Use a heated, electrical desoldering tool with flux. Just be sure that you select a forgiving desoldering tip with a rounded tip end to it so that you do not scratch the pad. Advantage:

i want to know which type of solder paste and reflow profile can support the solder pad with nickel but not covered gold on the pcb.

I would contact your paste supplier, bare nickel can be impossible to wet to. How oxidized is it?

can anyone tell me the benifit of the solder mask onto pad(part) or pad defined by solder mask?and how to excute the SMT process ? thanks.

We did this for BGA pads, but have not thought about other types. So, this may or may not apply for those. Pad defined by:||Advantages||Disadvantages Non-solder mask||No point-of-stress concentration at edge mask and solder ball||Smaller pads have

We had some bad experiences trying to work with soldermask defined BGA pads. If the opening in the soldermask is right to the edge of the copper/pad without a space it can leave reside on the pad and nothing will stick to it. See http://www.sipad.com
