Do you have any picture or reference how can we determine black pad or plating contamination. I have heard about a lot of problems regarding BGA's and normally these components are only replaced or heat it and that's it ,after that the boards are wor

Actually this is for an automotive instrument cluster. From what I've been told back in the good old days we switched fluxes and after the car sat in the sun (and heat) a haze developed on the inside of the panel that was attributed to the flux.

In an oven with flux reclamation system, once the circulation is prevented by accumulation of flux in the heat exchanger, the flux will condense where it can, and some of it will coat your PCBs with a uniform layer of flux on the parts/ joints/ goldf

If you really want to monitor manual soldering.....Dwell time, heat tip,........ Contact ACI as they have a process tool the goes inline with you soldering iron for real time SPC data. Contact Jeff Staong at aci 610-362-1200 x 224 or jstong@aciusa.o

Hi Adam, Excessive heat from soldering iron will left the burn mark of RMA flux. The residue is hard to remove. Suggest to use the Flux pen for better control.

Your heating temperature is too low. Check your process and run the board through again. Then the graininess problem should go away. Or, try some different solder.

Ersa is the choice for lower end repair and rework systems. Airvac is the choice for higher end systems. Stay away from low end hot air units. They typically do not present an even flow of heat across the component. The Ersa requires no nozzles, whic

Steve , I agree with all the responses you have received. Randy Villeneuve is absolutly correct in all of his assesments and I would consider him an expert with the process , Gris is correct about adding a "heat sink" to the process complicating pr

As a starting point, consider that these component leads may not be getting hot enough. Measure the temperature profile on the leads that do not solder well to be sure: * Heating and cooling ramps are within the paste supplier's recommendations. * C

I am working with a BGA package. The laminate layer is being modeled as BT-Cu smear. The thermal conductivity of BT is 0.19 W/mK. Does anyone know what the density and specific heat values are for BT?
