| Can someone explain the difference between solder "fines" and solder balls? Is there an official specification where "fines" are defined? What is the spec for "fines"? | | I consider "fines" individual unmelted metal spheres that are found in s

Check this company out....Winslow Automation. They have a real easy "preform" for reworking BGA's. You just wick the old solder off, flux the packages, attach an appropriate preform, reflow it with a corresponding profile, remove the water-soluble pa

I am currently using Alpha WS629. I have a Malcom SPS-1 Solder paste mixer. I find that the mixer after running for the recommended mixing time (10 to 18 Min) ball's the solder in the jar. 1) Is there any other Manufacture having the same prob

As CSP and BGA packages become more and more popular, I want to know if anyone get problem to assembly CSP packages. Currently, most CSP use 20mil solder ball diameter and it is a trend to go down to 16mil or even 12mil. I wonder if there is a probl

Thanks everybody for the help! We are still working on the bottom side, but the top side solder balling seems to have gone away for now. We flattened out the middle soak zone of the profile, so that rather than an even ramp up, the board heats quick

| Is there a good way to inspect BGA | balls ? Is there an inspection piece | of equiip.? The idea is to develope a process that eliminates insoection. BGA's, by the nature of the design, do not lend themselves to inspection. Even X ray is subjec
