Depending on your requirements, you could range from a hair dryer, heat gun, toaster oven, hot plate, on up to digitally controlled surfaces and convective systems. You'll have to gauge for yourself whether you are just trying to add some heat energy

Is this a new assembly/new test fixture/program? Or is this an existing assembly that is suddenly exhibiting this failure? Capacitors measured in circuit will not necessarily measure their correct values. Active components in circuit will be affec

There is. I've done it. Can't remember how the heck to do it 100%, though! We no longer have GSM's and it was years ago so sorry I'm not much help but I'll try. I remember a couple details... I put clear or kapton tape on the part (sticky side u

Sounds like you may have already found the issue: inconsistency from your supplier. Seeing as Gold really doesnt oxidize and you're using an inert environment (N2 I suspect), I would turn my attention to the supplier. You said yourself, the "Shine

We are also in the market for wave soldering system but review if they are the manufacturer. Many just resell the product. Check Jaguar who is a manufacturer. Also note the solder pot size and the cost of the solder. Did not know about your vendor

Hello ! I got exp only with leadfree HASL, but maybe the same problems apply. Also, the leaded HASL has probably lower process temperature. This could be copper, which has settled to the tank bottom. With leadfree, the copper is removed from molten

Genny, I would like to correct part of the things that you were told. As far as I know, X-Ray tools are not positioned as tools to find solder volume simply because it is not a strong point for them. An X-Ray image is either a projection (2D transm

Hi Kc! I went to Surface Mount International last week, and had a chance to see a way to reball BGA's that is very simple, and not expensive at all. I've seen the advertisements in a few magazines, but this was the first time I've seen it live. It's
