Thanks for the link Samir. Although this thread does have some good info in it I don't think it is hitting the exact point I am trying to resolve. This seems to talk to a one profile fits all for running lead and lead free paste. I want to know about

You need a paste designed specifically for this. They are available. Most have 2% silver in them and higher temp flux so you can reflow at "no-lead" temps. The silver aids in the intermaetalic bond and the high temp flux allows you to reflow the n

We've never, to my knowledge, sent out Pb-free BGAs to be reballed for use on an SnPb assembly. In fact, we developed an in-house reballing process and we haven't felt the need to do that either (for salvaging an occasional reworked part, maybe).

There are a couple of things that you can do. First thing to do is take a flashlight and shine it in the card edge connector of slot 2 and see if a passive component or any other part worked its way into that slot. This will cause multiple leads in

Never did find a fool proof solution. Solderability seemed O.K. (at least using the methods we have available in house). Tinned parts and placed by hand and saw little improvement. Pad design is slightly different than recommended but likely not i

Your tantalum capacitor supplier offers the best advice. We're not sure of the package that you plan to use. * If you are referring to molded package, surface mount, tantalum caps, yes, they can be wave soldered. Smaller case size chips (eg, Kemet A

I'd like to get more information about pick and place nozzles. How can I learn more? ... What do the nozzles look like? Are there different shapes? Are custom nozzles sometimes used for custom parts or are the nozzles mostly standardized? What kind

Does your paste provider recommend a TAL? For the leaded and lead-free pastes that we use, the manufacturer recommends 60 seconds above liquidous. I note that your profile shows the TAL as 30 seconds, which may not be sufficient. That said, tho
