Hi Adam, We had a reverse of the previous - if we didn't have our smartwave running at at least 750 RPM behind the main wave, the pressure dropped & gave us inconsistant soldering. Otherwise... 1) are the components tarnished at all, or stored in

First, Your flux is no good replace it. second, Check for pre- oxides. The smaller the component or the leads makes it difficult to solder specially if it has oxide. Thrid, check the board to wave parallelism. Maybe your wave is not parallel to the b

Folks, At the moment I bake all BGA that are in unsealed trays, to reduce moisture etc. Is this common practice or are there particular manufacturuers that cause more problems. Also, the tape for BGA tape & reel has a hole in the tape (as is normal

Left to its own devices the plastic used to seal your parts will take-on moisture in the air. When you heat there parts the water in the part expands and can damage the part, if not properly demoisturized. The instustry standards for controlling su

I work for a major OEM as well, and we have close to 1000 stencils in house. We just recently went to a new way of labeling our stencils. We ordered metal ID tags out of McMaster, and assigned a Number to each stencil. We then attached each tag to t

Well, to be honest, we have not had any problems with this. We tested several old frames we had inhouse, and put them in our washers for 50 cycles, and they did not get any fluid in the frames. We simply attach the labels with sheet metal screws in

First, for new stencil-you must ask you stencil dealer to put the markings before shipping it to you. Second, for old stencil-you buy some old angle bar or any metal plate about 1 inch by 1 inche. you engrave the markings on that plate and screw it

Hi Simon, I would recommend a thermal profile on a BGA that is mounted directly over another one. The best way to accomplish this is to drill through the first side BGA to just break through the second side. (assuming you have a board that you can d

I'm with Chris' approach as a first effort. If you don't have any luck, consider using a high (reflow)temp solder paste for the first pass reflow, and your standard solder paste for the second pass refow. Years ago I had a similiar challenge with an

Hi Simon, do not forget BGA have more surface contact ( qty off balls) then a same size of QFP. I mean, theoretically unless the BGA is very heavy, it is more simple to solder mirrored PBGA then try to have QFP on bottom side to be soldered. Are ple
