Hello CK Do I understand you correctly that you are reflow soldering a copper case containing a previously assembled PCA? Insulation would seem to pose a few problems that would need to be passed on by the design engineer. 1. Keeping the heat of refl

I have evaluated SRT, Air-Vac and Conceptronic rework stations. All three machines offer great BGA and Micro BGA rework capability. But the one I have preferred is the Conceptronic Freedom 2000, as a matter of fact I have purchased two freedom 2000 i

Ralph, Typically our co-op students put down solder paste with a syringe, place the parts on the paste with tweezers, and then reflow the paste with a hot air pencil. This works pretty well when they are hand building prototypes. You can probably

Frank: Good luck on finding a specification. The right combination of material properties will greatly improve the lifetime of your flip chip component. Your flip chip supplier might be best starting place to determine underfill properties that ma
