Thanks Dave for this contribution. After a lot of discussions with colleagues I found a general tendency to use the air hand tool. Could you please send us detailed steps of using those air guns, considering the distance between the gun & the PCB, t

Hello everyone!! About hot air tool.... Most of the the brands will supply you with specific nozzel for the package to be removed, it will heat up leads only, so you don't have to mask anything (sounds like less work :) ) by the way I had to take

Hello, As you know for the double side assembly PCBs, we normally first place the bottom side, then place top side after reflow soldering of bottom side. are there any other considerations for the sequence of reflow soldering ( bottoms side first, to

Steve, you might want to check out the pre-printed and print-on-demand label feeders that are available through Hover-Davis. These types of feeder remove the potential human placement errors which sometimes occur. The feeders are available for most p

Hi Jim! Just an idea.... There are some reflow ovens which use cooling on the bottom side of pcb during reflow for doublesided boards. It prevents solder on the bottom side to melt. You might try cooling your BGA while reflowing parts on opposit s

Hi All - My question is how do solder balls form and stay in the vias? The assembly goes thru SMT top placement, reflow then thru hole components mounts on top side as well. The board is sent thru the wave solder process. Has anyone experienced this
