There is two major BGA coating camps. * Camp #1: "We require the coating to be under low stand-off devices but with no filleting. So we apply a thinned dip coat first, and then top-off with a proper spray coat" * Camp #2: "We want no coating under th

Based on what you�ve said, comments are: * There is no reason not to expect a trace of Zn in your 85/15 Sn/Pb solderability protection, but Sn/Cu IMC are more prevalent than Zn. * Intermetallic growth and oxidation are very different materials proper

There is no IPC specification, nor should there be. * There are just too many peculiarities in the design and fabrication of PWB. * The issue is not defining how to store boards. The issue setting expectation for reliable products and allowing you th

I use the exact same paste flux that we use in our solder paste for SMT manufacturing with great success. I have also had great success using the Air Vac DRS Hot Gas units with the same size BGA's. If to much heat is applied to fast to the BGA be it

Hello Dave, As related to connector mating interface, fretting corrosion is the oxidation of the contact points, causing high resistance across the interface. Fretting corrosion is caused my micromotions in the interface exposing the metalized conta

You�re correct about J-001. It�s interesting though, I find no references to controlling temperature and humidity as an element of an electrostatic discharge control program in the following: * ANSI/ESD S20-20 * "ESD Program Management" by Ted Dan

The current IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-033 for moisture-sensitive devices does not include a bake cycle at 90C (it includes cycles at 40C and 125C for non-assembled components in reels or trays). However, the upcoming revision, which should be release

I hope you'll take an answer from the sunny UK. I don't usually read these forums but contribute to similar over here, hence the late response. We have an Invicta Sabre 757 machine in our Demo room, running with Zestron SD 300. We give the PumpPrint

Ron, have a look at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/cgmphome.html It would be a nightmare, if your plant is not structured to support it. It's a huge pain in the fanny even when you (alledgedly) are. I'm not sure what you're pursuing, but if you're c

The Electra is Electrovert's top-of-the-line wave solder machine. Just about the best you could get. Conveyor concerns should focus on the condition of the extruded rails. A machine that new should not have a problem, buy worth a look see. Find out i
