| Has anyone had any experience in using SMT to mount an organic (FR-4, Getek) rider card onto an organic (FR-4, Getek) mother board? By SMT I mean the attachment of the rider card would be through pads directly to pads on the mother board. | | Than

| I have boards coated with Humiseal 1B73. At a late point mfg. site we need to remove a series of 0603 resistors for optioning purposes. I have been trying to determine the fastest, easiest way to re-coat the pads after removal. Drying time of the c

| I'm very familiar with the great board space savings of BGA and all the "claims to fame." However, can someone out there tell me if any concern exist in the inspection realm. Additionally, solder cracking, CTE/TCE mismatches, no leads for stress re

| | I hear that there is a problem with using ceramic parts that are sizeable. Apparently, there is a mismatch in the Temperature Coefficient of Expansion between the FR4 and ceramic materials which causes the soldered erminations to weaken and event

You are correct about a TCE [CTE] mismatch issues in ceramic packages. The coefficient of thermal expansion [ppm/�C] of major ceramic package elements are: * Silicon - 3 * Standard 92% alumina ceramic � 6.5 * FR4 board � 18-20 Several points are: *

I have seen this before with larger PBGA components. When installed using a rework system, I would advise Convective rather thn IR. In my experience having high power (not high temp) convection is the only way to deal with these problematic devices

There are aerosol spray on flux removers that contain Trichloroethylene. There are also many other flux removers on the market. Recommend you explore more options. To help get an answer quickly, you can contact Zestron, Kyzen, Petroferm, etc; an

Mike: I�d hate to see you making design decisions, based solely on the discussion here, but that this would be an impetus to consult IPC-D-279, "Design Guidelines ... " and take a course on designing reliable boards. Werner Engelmaier (Engelmaier
