I think Equipment wise things have changed little. Xray and Endo scopes have seen usefulness with in industry and if you want to add Laser soldering...Well that is some of the new Capital Equipment. Some areas that will grow over the course of some

OK, so is anyone qualifying CGA's yet? Our first batch of CGA qualification is not going too well. We stuck with the teardrop shaped pad but the solder fillet is not as big as expected. What size pads is anyone using, i'm getting conflicting informat

hi, I am a research student in Electronics manufacturing at RIT. We are planning to assemble boards using lead free solder paste. I was wondering would there be any changes in printing in using lead-free paste"Sn-3.9Ag-0.5Cu". Thedensity of Sn-37Pb

Forced gas (hot air or N2 according to solder paste or flux) will be the solution. To rework Ceramic (Aluminum lid Heat Sink)BGA (32 mm square ) or Ceramic Colum Grid Array C-CGA 1,25 and 1,00 mm colum (pitch 42,5mm square), also them capped with a

I'm looking at an application that would require 62/36/2 solder paste. We currently run 63/37. I'd like to change across the board to prevent a mix up, but I don't know what concerns/issues that might create. The PCB's we currently run are HASL fi

Our design team have got a problem. We need to either drill out 6 vias/pads for a BGA site, or remove the solder balls form the BGA before they are palced. ( std eutectic) Has anyone used a vendor to remove balls from BGA (0.75mm piutch, ball size ap
