Good Morning, I have been working with a company that has a selective electroplate touch up system from Rapid Electroplate. They have used this for repairing gold electroplate. Scratches and in some cases, replating pads that had been contaminated w

Amen... Until the process is designed, documented, employees trained and proficient, equipment maintained and calibrated, parts issues resolved, programming corrected, attitudes adjusted, and timetables reasonable, there is no need to tweak the inspe

I am happy that you work in a shop that can build boards right the first time on a consistent basis. Unfortunately, I would say that every place I have been at, we have had a hard time meeting class III standards day in and day out without some kind

I did not mean to imply building to class III would prevent failures. Since there seemed to be a little confusion about the classes I threw that out to show that class III was a higher standard. I also agree that while re-work can fix a class III d

Kim: We understand what you're saying. For us, fluxing the BGA and activating the flux are the issues. * If you're squirting liquid flux under the BGA with a plastic bottle with a needle tip on it and then reflowing less than the whole board with a

Dave, They rework fine. All solder joints on the whole board look great especially for lead free sac305. Here are the reflow specs: SAC305 no clean solder paste – Kester EM907 Kic thermal profiling device – 50%process window green light profile. • M

We are experiencing widely varying First Pass Yields for selective soldering. Some boards are near 100% while others are less than 50% depending on the pitch and general complexity of the board. Question: If you are running 100 boards through your s

Reflowing a BGA can be a reliable and long term fix, but it has to be done correclty, and using a heat gun and going in circles around the part is definitly not the right way to do it. To do it correctly you would flux under the bga, use a rework st
