If at all possible avoid mirror assembly BGA designs. It has a higher failure rate when compared to non-overlap designs (life testing). In addition, from a rework point of view, X-ray inspection yields no help when a failure occures. You can't det

Mike - I'm not in the EMS business, but I suspect most of them are very reluctant to reveal much about their quoting process. You might want to try some of the third-party data suppliers like Ceeris (www.ceeris.com), and you can also check the C

We recently came to a cross roads... We have historically baked out ALL of our circuit cards, with a 2 fold purpose 1) to dry the part marking ink, and 2) to eliminate any moisture, which could result in measling further in the process of assembly.

Hi Tim It sort of depends on the solder alloy being used and the particular assemblies being soldered. If you are using the usual 63/37 alloy I would consider 500 to be a bit warm unless the assembly required it. Some alloys would require a higher

If you are talking about reflowing surfacemount on the solder side of the assembly, that is accomplished by gluing the smt components to the bottom of the board. I recomend that you use a chip wave in conjuction with the normal wave to get the best r

We have just completed some studies of with ABPAC, who is a large subcontract assembler of plastic ball grid arrays. BT laminates can pick-up appreciable moisture in just two hours. They are using TVP demoisturizing, our product (I apologize for the

Yes. We use high speed dispensing (PanasonicFA)as an integral part of our PCB assembly. Our business is automotive electronics and our typical product is 2-sided smd with some through hole. We assemble topside first, through hole, then bottomside. Th

I am working on trying to define a cost per placement measure in our SMT assembly operations. Does anyone know where I might find a published industry average that we may compare to? I�ve heard it stated that an industry average is less than $0.01
