Dear Micheal, SIR test is used to characterize fluxes by determining the degration of electrical insulation resistance of rigid printed wiring board specimens after exposure to the specified flux. (IPC TM-650 #2.6.3.3 http://www.ipc.org/html/tm2.6.h

Kelvin, Yes, we're referencing the same spec. I performed the test under the Class 2 conditions (except that I used a 100V bias rather than 50V...but my water-washed microBGAs still passed). Regarding the omegameter test: we have this instrument,

John, There is one process issue that occurs with the larger BGA packages which have coplanarity near the high end of the .2mm spec.. The defect is commonly referred to as "ball in cup" and "head in pillow". It is an open solder connection whereby th

Fred: I'm tryin' my darndest to be good, because, for whatever stupid reason, I feel that you're making an honest inquiry and not just floating something to find the biggest sucker. If only Earl was still here, he'd always bite on stuff like this.

| Hey there gang, how's it going ? | | Anyway's here's my probelm, got a new product to build double sided reflow, lot's of so20's and PLcc's 1206's, 0805's the usual stuff. Probelm is all the pad spacing of the 1206's are too big, my component's ar

Dear Kanwaljit Singh, my opinion is following: 1)solderpaste type is ok - usual (alpha-metals has this problem inside the paste paste- holder problem) - what do the operator when production change -clean well the stencil holes!! no visible rest on

You shouldn't freak. You want the pads on both sides of the BGA ball the same so that the torgue from changes in dimension due to different CTE [ie, interposer, solder, bare board, etc.] is balanced on the top and the bottom of the ball. So, the ma

If you use regular solder paste you will not need to process at the higher temp. Using Flux only will require you to reflow the lead free balls. When we process ceramic BGAs with the high temp/lead free balls we always use 63/37 paste and it works
