Wave solder - Initially high cost but after that it is relatively cheap. Selective soldering with a solder pot such as the Air-Vac PCBRM models - Much lower cost than wave but if you get the right nozzles it is a great process. Solder preforms - s

From my understanding paste on BGA pads are applied only to help in holding the component as the PCB is conveyed during the manufacturing process then soldered. But during rework on BGA's do I have to apply Solder Paste or just Flux? What's the diffe

I have a question about solder paste. When the solder paste lost her tackines (dry out) how can i refresh this solder paste?. Can i add a little flux? or it is ban. I noticed that after reflow solder joints look shiny but i can see some discolour (f
