| What is the best way to re-ball a BGA? Who has the best system for doing it? | I'm using our SRT rework stuff to reball in house - when necessary. Of course, we only do this for protos and test boards. We use a standard micro-stencil, after clean

While not a Motorola 860 BGA user, we see that on other components. In fact, some of the ErsaScope adverts show the effect. WHAT CAUSES THIS? Generally, the design / layout of the interposer has been the cause of this appearance. IS THIS A CONCER

Hi, We have seen a slight rise in failures in a product, and on investigation, the BGA ball has cracked off the PCB. It's below the intermetalic layer in the ball. Reflow otherwise looks good, and the raw components are clean. I am wondering what c

Zoinks!! Doing the homeplate design on 0402 will actually make your tombstones WORSE! Think about it. Your wetting forces are now on the ENDS of the device with no solder paste toward the middle of the device to tack the part down - a gauranteed f

Hi Steve, Are you actually profiling the BGA itself? By that I mean have you, for example, drilled through the underside of the pcb into the balls of the BGA and attached a probe there? You may find that even although the topside components have a p

good Morning, it looks from the peak temperature that this is a RoHS application? If so, is the BGA that you are having issues with leaded? If so, you might be experiencing "ball drop" where the ball becomes disconnected from the component substrate

We are planning on using a chip that is available in LGA or Sn/Pb balled BGA. The package dimensions are the same. Pitch = 1.27mm. We are using a Sn/Pb soldering process and no clean paste (wash afterward) for high reliability Class 3 assemblies. Fai

ASM machines have great algorithms for BGA and I am positive it will detect missing ball. Still, on your pictures it seems like you are severely starving solder in the locations shown on X-ray. Part seem too small to bend that much in reflow to form

Good Morning Everyone, We have an application coming up with several BGA's on a RoHS assembly. One is a 25 mil ball on a 40 mil pitch, another is a 15 mil ball on a 40 mil pitch. In the past for leaded assemblies, we have used square apertures for 1
