I had horrible experiences with a certain brand on multiple types of BGA's (I choose not to mention the brand). The paste was nice and active, but almost to a fault when it came to BGA's. Finally, I arrived at a profile with a more agressive ramp u

Good morning all. We are able to offer some insight into the problem and offer a recommended reflow profile to solve this issue, but it really depends on the solder paste that you use, as different manufacturers use different boiling point solvents.

that question I think I will punt it on over to some of the experts here. I really do not the "why". voids for me have always been related to the escape (lack of) of the "stuff" that is in the paste. I have seen diff pastes perform differently rel

I am confused about the parameters of the reflow profile needed to solder lead free components. We assemble boards for automotive modules required with leaded solder paste. The boards have ENIG finish. The problem is that I see some wetting issues, v

Tuan - One of the reasons I suggested pre-tinning (aside from the negative effects of Gold on appearance and reliability) is the known slower wetting of Sn/Ag and Sn/Cu alloys as compared to Sn/Pb. If you don't have to be Lead-free, the high Lead

I have a product with mixed in Pb free and Pb BGAs. I decide to use SnPb paste with Pb free reflow profile to make it work for both types of BGA. Do I have a reliability solder joint issue by using this method? How is your opinion on this case? Can

Dr. Lee, For Pb-free solders, will the reflow profile be similar to that of Sn/Pb, with an flux activation plateau before going to peak reflow, or will the profile be more linear in nature? Are there advantages/disadvantages to either profile for P

Yes, Pb Free is coming soon... I am studying both Sn/Pb and Pb Free solders. Obviously the profiles will be much different for both pastes. Not to mention that one of my 0201 resistor vendors is switchng to Pb Free terminations in the near future!

we are doing many experiment on this problem 1)sn63 pb37 solder paste +normal profile 2)sn62 pb36 ag2 solder paste +normal profile 3)pb free solder paste + pb free profile 4)sn63 pb37 solder paste + pb free profile but still the problem exist so i th

A lot of component vendors already shifted to Pb-free products but our process is still using 63Sn/37Pb solder paste and SMDs. What would be the result if we introduce some Pb-free components to our current process (i.e without changing the reflow p
