I am trying to rework FP4531 underfill. Some of the underfill flowed to adjacent capacitor and resistor. Even though the datasheet says that it is non-reworkable, has anyone tried reworking / removing excess underfill? Any information would be help

Here's some notes from IPC APEX 2015: * Black underfill is Heraeus. It needs to be preheated to 180-200*C for rework. Above 200*C it changes state and becomes difficult. * Clear underfill is from an unknown Korean supplier. * People from Heraeus w

Take a look at articles that explain underfill process and how to remove/rework underfill: http://www.finetechusa.com/rework/applications/underfill-rework.html http://www.circuitnet.com/experts/86535.shtml

Hi davef, thank you for sharing this. Yes all manufacturers recommend their products, and i dont deny that they are good but for a small shop like i have i think the prices are a bit high. What i think would be a good technique, is heating the area t

With heat, most underfills soften just before the solder melts. So, keep poking the underfill until you see it soften. Then, wait just the correct amount of time until the solder melts and quickly snap or torque the part from the board. BR davef

My company is researching the use of re-workable underfill for use on our avionics boards. We are currently testing Hysol UF3810. The Rework machine we use has a vacuum based removal system witch isn't strong enough to overcome the underfill. We have

The melting point of the solder itself does not change when you have underfill. If the underfill conducts heat better than air, it will take less heat (and/or less time) from your rework station to get the solder up to the melting point. That makes

Hello Ron, Successful removal of an underfilled BGA requires the use of a reworkable underfill, which Zymet manufactures. For more information on such products, send an inquiry to info@zymet.com. Regards, Carol
