Warping BGA are the usual cause of shorts in the corners and are usually caused by the reflow profile. BGA have a natural tendency to warp due to CTE and package thermal mismatch, as you have seen at rework. The PBGA will go from a bowl shape to an

If speed is truly an issue, migrate to no-clean. However, this is not always an option. Why bake after 1st smt pass? Because you are probably not drying completely under the BGA components, and/or you are pushing water into the parts/boards/ vias

We had a similar system on the Siemens machines, quite some time ago. However, it was not a laser light but a LED and a fiber cable. Actually the center fiber or receiver was surrounded by a bundle of small fibers for the LED light source. You may al

If they are reflowing pbfree balls to bare PCB pads they are getting that component very hot tpo melt the balls and get them to wet to the pads! I would not recommend this process at all for hightemp solder balls, for 63/37 this process is fine. As

Hi All, Just have a share with you guy. We are using T4 solder paste and also E-Stencil. We ahd try out Alpha, Kester, AIM and Qualitek. The result show Alpha had a very very heavy stack flux and can't get it clean off even by chemical

The short answer is "No" the white and green feeders are not interchangble. The green feeder has a channel in it to allow the "embosed" or plastic tape to fit flat at the pickup position. If you use paper tape in this type of feeder the tape can be d
