I would highly recommend that you test drive your vehicle before you buy it. Buy a test kit from Topline and have a stencil made. Make an appointment with the machine manufacturer and let them know that you come with your own boards and components.

Thanx for the reply Dave. We actually had a few thermocouples attached from underneath to see if there is any delta in temperature within the same BGA's ball. They looks OK, with the slope of 1 -2 Deg C,soak at 120 Deg C - 150 Deg C at about 90 sec,

Thanx for the reply guys!! The problem happened on only one PBGA, the balls are eutectic and the paste volume height is at 5.96 mil min. The stencil opening has been increased to 30 mil which initially was 20 mil. You guys are right!! One probable

Hello, I have a board that has been giving us problems for some time now. It is fairly well populated, mostly with IC's and SOT's on the topside. There is a Zilinx QFP160. This component does not reflow well. All of the other components look OK. A t

What type of board finish ? I've seen this same defect with QFP's on some of our HASL boards. Best I can tell either the PCB's have poor solderability or uneven pad heights due to poor solder leveling at the PCB fab. Newer PCB's seem to yield bette

Hi Ian, Answers to your questions: 1) PCB Pad Finishing- HASL 63/37 2)Checked a sample lot of parts. Coplanarity did not seem to be an issue. Some of the parts checked still exibited this condition after reflow. 3) There are no large ground plane

Hi Chris, Dave F is absolutely correct in his assunption that the leads are hotter than the pads. You must profile from the pads to see the exact temperature that they are reaching. If the entire board reflows properly as you described, don't get ca

As Wolfgang says: Conveyor speed may be too high. Excuse me for not stripping-out my repetition from your list, but other machine adjustments to consider are: * Using more efficient [higher specific gravity] flux. [Got it!!!] * Adjusting wave shape

Thanks. I saw your response to Gabby on May 23 2000. Sent a request to Christina Cotto at Reedexpo.com. She's going to send me copies of the Nepcon papers you referenced. Although, I did some guestimating and ballparked a monthly cost of $338k

50cents/gallon for N2 is steep, plus that is Liquid not gas??? As for conceptronics stating that your oven will consume 2100scfh is another situation. If your system operates on Air Amplifier technology it will consume alot of N2 and should be scrapp
