I would like to setup a guideline for BGA to components around it minimum distance. To allow for rework possibilities of the BGA. What are people using as a minimum clearance out there ?

Interesting. Makes it easier on design.

Years ago it was common to see 2-3mm keep out areas around BGAs. Now with boards being so densely populated there are no clearance minimums. Regardless if the machine is using convection or IR heating, parts can be reworked without affecting adjace

Let me preface this just by saying we don't have a spec. for this ourselves since we're an EMS. We just deal with whatever the customer provides. That said, I would think that it would depend on your specific rework machine, the nozzle designs you'r

Thanks Steve for the candid reply. We would probably end up dealing with the rework in house so that is why I want to make it easy from the get go instead of jumping through hoops like I know a lot of EMS vendors like yourselves have to do for their

We just apply tacky flux to the surrounding components and to the bottom side components under the BGA. This will prevent cold solder if any solder joints reach reflow temperature the surface tension will keep them aligned and in place. If you nee

Hello All, Using IR will mean that there is no minimum distance to the adjacent components as there is not hot air flow. If components are heat sensitive around the BGA you can also tape them off with a reflective tape. The IR heat will bounce strai

What is the ideal component edge to board scored edge clearance?

I was wondering if anybody could tell me what a good clearance would be for board designs to allow for the use of inline equipment? My company currently runs a batch line but I want to make sure we are designing properly for inline if the need arises
