| Perhaps a little hard to find but is there anyone who uses a vapor phase process to solder populated card with BGAs. I am interested in the success rate of such a process. It is obvious that the throughput is reduce vs a convection oven but still t

| I'm designing a board where the parts will only fit if I do one of the following: | | 1. Put BGAs on both sides | | 2. Put BGAs on top, smt TSOPs directly underneath and using blind vias to keep the real estate on the bottom side below the BGA pa

| Has there anyone bold enough to try this in their shops? My cubemate just got through telling me that at his last shop, they had bare copper boards (no HASL, no OSP, no nothing), with minimal solderability problems. | yes, 8 years ago I developed

| WOULD LIKE TO DO RELOW OF 2 SIDED SMT BOARDS. USUALLY THE BOTTOM SIDE HAS RESISTORS AND CAPS ONLY. WHEN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD HEATS UP, THE PARTS ARE FREE TO MOVE AND ONLY SURFACE TENSION WILL KEEP THE COMPONENT FROM FALLING OFF. | CAN BOARDS BE

Hello Dan, I have recently started using polyimide, but not for the standard uses. I designed a pallet for holding small, thin (about .0018" thick) RF boards that were being reflowed inside their aluminum housings. They were screwed down to prevent w
