Ken you say reaching 218 to 221 C will give a homogenus solder ball. The pb free solder balls on the BGA reflow at 235 C to 238 C but I have seen when you combin to differnt types of solder say 63-37 and 10-90 you will atually lower the melting point

Hey Dreamy, Dave is correct. If you attempt to clean your water soluble (OA) flux with water only, you will turn the no-clean flux white. No inspector or end-user will accept this. If a proper cleaning system is not available to you, then I would

First some definitions, the two main types for solder masking near BGA pads are: 1 Pad, Non-Solder Mask Defined. In circuit board design, pads with spacing that does not allow solder (usually bumps) on the pads to contact the adjacent solder mask. [

I have used one in the past and wish I had one now. Is that enough input? We had great success with this machine. The large lower preheat and board supports worked very well for large thin boards. We never experienced any problems with this machi

Funny how these things are. I see more PACE equipment on the shelf and on EBAY. I've seen hundreds of the Zephyrtronics units in Raytheon myself...all being used and on very, very large boards. I believe that they actually have a far larger selection

During processing, the solder in the vias reflows and forms solder balls. PCBs have solder in random PBGA vias from the board manufacturer.The manufacturer says this is a result of the HASL process and is unavoidable. We use HASL finish, multilayer,

Hi, We have been running the same stencils for about a year, 5 thou thick, 1-mm pitch BGA's and every-things been ok, but then suddenly over the last week, 2 different products have had paste release issues with the BGA. It's odd because nothings c
