1st off for the forum folk, I don't like the fact that the new system only let's you see the posting your replying too, I'd rather be able to see the thread..... Anyhoo, why this alloy?, it's because it's the device manufacturers preferred and the c

Just a thought.... Some Fluxes require temperatures upto 260F (127C). Are you using water based flux or solvent (alcohol). I have noticed that many wave machines are NOT capable of preheating adequately when using water based materials. This can

I believe that solder paste will need to be applied to this part. I have re-balled these in the past in a low volume situation and here is what I did and there appears to be no adverse effects to the component. Get a stencil (I use 8 mil for .032"

First, it depends on the alloy composition of the solder. As you might know, eutectic Sn/Pb solder has the lowest melting point among available conventional solder systems. (except those based on Sn-In and Sn-Bi systems.) For example, 63Sn/37Pb - 183

Very strange question,but interesting.Is there anyone who have conducted any experiments to figure out the results?I made a profile board,one thermal couple on pad and other one drilled into the ball of BGA.the 2 points are perpendicular to conveyor

Electrovert has a new nozzle design called UltraFill. It was designed specifically for Pb Free applications and generates about 40% less dross than the previous Lambda design. UltraFill can of course be used for Sn/Pb alloys. The name UltraFill is fo

First, any results of pull or shear tests are unscientific at best. [We pop our BGA from boards with, appropriately enough, a beverage can opener.] Second, we have no have problems with your ENIG specification. Third, as with your customer, we'd e

Ther is a solder alloy out there that is supposed to allow lead free wave processing without having to upgrade pumps and such or increasing the pot temp (direct drop in). I have not used it nor do I plan on doing leadfree wave soldering but you may
