I like to secure the thermalcouples with a small dot of chip-bonder(surface mount adhesive). The chip-bonder will cure durring the first pass through the oven. After I have developed my profile I remove thermalcouples and the chip-bonder with a solde

We have a line that is double sided reflow and reflow/wave depending on the product being manufactured. We asked Loctite if we could cure our chipbonders with the reflow profile to eliminate having to change oven profiles for each. They said we wou

Having worked with adhesives for years, the first thing to look at if there is a failure of this type is surface contamination. The subject has been discussed here also. A structural adhesive will increase in strength with a "hotter" cure. We also

Agreed. Your "leads" are fairly small compared to the PAD area, so you leave your part lots of room to "stretch it's legs". One thing that I have trouble communicating to my operators is that placement does not have to be perfect, and neither does t

First piece of advice: build the board as you would any other board. Probably, you will be surprised at the holding force of the solder of the connections of the BGA, because the surface area of the solder is very large compared to the weight of the

We've used our standard chipbonder- Heraeus PD944- for this type of application. While it does cure before reflow, when the part is placed onto the site, the material compresses and spreads and thus that potential standoff isn't an issue. We've als

It seems to me that it would be easier to manually apply a little bit of chipbonder on the edge of the part after the first reflow than to tape the part down. The epoxy would cure sufficiently before the second reflow to secure the part after the s

We currently use Loctite 348 chipbonder to secure large parts that will hang under the board when reflowing the second side. Rework has been complaining that they sometimes have to remove those parts to make repairs and it's difficult to remove them

Yes, there are ways to machine process boards like this. The devil is in the detail. In no particular order, your choices are: Process flow #1: * Print chipbonder on the surface mount side for SMT parts * Mount SMT components * Cure adhesive, if r

| We have a need to bond Flatpack and Quadpack components to the circuit board. The adhesive should be quick curing, repairable and have a low modulus. It does not have to be thermally conductive (but it would be a plus). The components are current
