Jimmy, We've been soldering tin plated components and Ni/Sn (100% Tin) boards with leaded solder in the 80's in hirel and military applications. We never experienced reliability issues with the mechanical or electrical properties of the solder joint

If the balls are eutectic (63/37) You shouldn't have any problems. All of our BGA rework is performed without paste. You have plenty of solder to make the joint with the balls themselves. Be wary of cleaning however since the standoff is less.

Hi K, Thanks for your reply. I was wondering if there is an industry spec that specifies a minimum required solder volume for BGA joints? Thanks HLY

Hi there. We have had an out of control reflow oven that has allowed its temperature to fluctuate by up to +/- 20 deg C from set point in very short periods of time. We found the root cause of the problem and fixed it, but by then we had already run

| Has anyone had any experience or data using vibration during the reflow process. | We introduced a vibration device attached to the fixed rail on a Vitronics reflow oven. The reason was to prevent skewing on large PLCC devices. The process worked v

Chrisw said : We have used the older and newer style Mantis scopes and our assemblers love them as you can do rework in a very natural and comfortable seating position. It took me a while fooling around to get everything in the right place, but I c

| | I'm having problems with trying to get a good solder joint using a Ceramic PCB. We are using AMTECH hi-temp solder (ws-486 96.5/3.5ag). My profile looks great and I used the recommended profile from Amtech with a few adjustments. My max temp is a

Hello all, Been doing some comparisons on joints made using the soldering iron versus reflowed solder paste (on a QFP package). The difference is quite significant: the joints made by the soldering iron are inconsistent and in many cases not filled

Is the process the same for every product running through the selective solder machine? Load program, acquire or set up fixture, Change/load flux?, Change/Load solder pot? Are the machines cold when the operators need to use them or are the machin

I'm doing SMT of lead-free solder BGA on FR4 Ni-Au PCB. The solder paste I'm using is Sn/Ag/Cu and reflow with peak temp at 240C. I found there are voids(1-2) in almost every solder joint(500 micron in dia) under xray. And the void size is violate th
