I would suggest creating a special reflow profile, heating the board up to 130C about 50 c below eutectic point (183C). Then applying heat to only the BGA, this will prevent thermal shock to surrounding components.

The best test will be to X-ray BGA under 3-D X-ray. About the techniques used for BGA repair you can probably take closer look to some BGA repair stations, even though I have seen it done with hot air gun in the early days.

Be very careful how you perform the removal process if you want to re-use BGA/CSP devices. As you are aware, the majority of these components are classified as moisture-sensitive by the manufacturer. This means that if they absorb too much moisture

You will need to prepare the component and site for rework. Using solder wick remove the solder from the pad site and the component balls. You can also use a heated Vacuum desoldering tool. To reball we have been using Winslow Automation reballing ki

I think he did mentioned the board size in the inital thread: "265mm x 207mm pcb", but maybe it was not clear written. I have a question about rework and pre-heat: is it necessary to have the pre-heater to cover the whole board size, even if you onl

Hi all, We produced a RoHS (lead-free) prototype order recently, and there was some components that we needed to replace on a couple of PCBA's. We found it very hard to do this even with the new solder iron. The components was just small RoHS SOIC's

wats the thickness of your board.. and the dimension.. I would not heat the board beyond 150deg C.. coz if the board is thick and large.. it will take a long time to reach that temp..and you will burn off your flux.causing poor solder joint. Ind

"Too Hot" is any more heat than what is needed to reflow the solder. You should have the Auto-Profile software for the machine, this will accurately monitor and record temps. There is also port for the component itself to monitor package temp. There

Both questions will depend upon the IC specifications. Check the manufacturers recommendations for temperature specification, as well as reflow profiling. As a general rule, we don't like to rework a component more than 2 times after initial reflow

Jeff & Ted, we have used a dispensing system too and yes, I agree, we are not too happy with the results. Not at the point that it doesn't work, though. I think our problem basicly is that we have selected an entry-level dipensing system. We are app
