| Is there any way to implement SMT at home? | I want to assemble a prototype board of mine. | How can I hand-solder a 208-pin 0.5 mm lead | pitch PQFP -- lead-by-lead (the usual way), | or side-by-side (partial heating method)? | Alas, no SMD rework

I gleen from your post that this assembly is mixed technology. You may have a compatibility problem between the flux in your wave solder machine and the flux in your solder paste. Check with the manufacturer of each and see if they interact. | I ha

So, which is it �falling off or tumbstoning�? Each has different causes. You say �It's apparent that these components were cured and in place prior to wave solder.� * Cure heat cycle maybe. But is the glue holding? I mean if your cure is real good

James Take a board with double sided tape and run it with all the other parts "shorted". Make sure that the part is being placed by the head/spindle that will be used during a full run. Inspect the part after it is placed and carefully remove it a

Points in response are: * Microstencils work fine with paste, although they are a little fussy to use. * Never have used microstencils for flux. * Like Hussman, we dab the uBGA into a puddle of tacky flux and then place it on the board. * On contro

What do you folks use for control on your wave solder process? Primarily after wave. I know there are a variety of "wave riders" that will assure proper wave solder parameters, but would like to know what down stream controls some are using. We ar

It seems to depend on your situation. We're an OEM manufacturer and run the same products for extended periods of time. We monitor process indicators such as Dave listed, but we also monitor process defect trends. This is product specific of cours

Hey Steven, Achieving the proper profile like you described does require you to engineer proper conveyor speeds and zone temps. Most conveyorized ovens have the inside of the ovens divided into zones. Each zone has a top and bottom heater that can
