You don't say how many headers you have to solder. I usually spec in High temp headers and use a pin-in-paste methodology and double reflow. Can you get your headers high temperature?

| From several months I am investigation about the VOIDS PERSENCE and his important as reliability. | One question now is : | It is possible that on the BGA components the voids are already present into the balls, before the mounting on the pcb ? | I

Generally speaking with most electronic grade epoxies: 1. Cure time is a function of temperature. 2. Polymer bonds begin to quickly break down above certain temperatures (product specific). I believe aprox 170-180C. The strength of the bond de

Does your top-side preheat NEED to be that high, and so high that you are exceeding the flux manufacturers' spec? If so, what is the reason? Top-side wetting? Are you measuring this temperature at the substrate or solder joint?

| Does anyone have any experience they are willing to share on Ag epoxy used as a copper through hole plating replacement? Was CEM3 used? | What are the limitations? | Thanks, | Steve I have used silver epoxy extensively for conductive bonding applic

I have never tried this and wouldn�t really even want to consider it. Epoxy generally cures at around 160c in a fairly short amount of time, solder paste requires much more time and a peek temperature of about 210c or more in some cases. Curing you

Ryan ... "As for bismuth-based lead-free alloys, a lower melting temperature than that of tin-lead is offered together with a cost similar to that of tin [in the area of $3/lb]. Unfortunately, bismuth in soldering alloys tends to create embrittlemen

I forgot to add that we are using a 3 mil stencil. It seems like to me that may be there isn't enough flux left when we reach liquidous?? About half of the solder spheres do melt and wet on each pad, but the top half of each solder joint is just the
