Anybody with experience on such a rework ?? The QFP has thermal pads underneath the body and needs to be re-connected when subjected for rework... Any ideas ???

We do this all of the time, This is what we do but I would be interested in other methods. 1. Remove component with BGA type rework station 2. Wick off lead pads only, verify/create even solder surface on the thermal pad on the board 3. Apply no-cle

SUMMIT 750. My yield is 75%-98%. And they all depend on the pad design, stencil, paste, operator, thermal profile, etc. I have 98% yield on some of our products with good pad design. Process is easy to control. Dreamy

Hi Daniel, I would suggest you check out http://www.focalspot.com. FocalSpot offers an advanced rework station from Japan, the RD-500 Series, which is unique to the industry and tailored for lead free rework and challenging BGA applications due i

We evaluated several rework machines a few years ago and decided on the Finetech CRS-10. It outperformed the Airvac DRS25 machine. We didn't bring in the Focal Spot because it uses IR. The Focal Spot System does not have a solder removal option and

Sure, it�s fine to use the proper amount of flux and no solder when reworking BGA. Recognize that these new solder connections have less metal and a lower standoff than similar BGA solder connections that have not been reworked. This undoubtedly

Warping BGA are the usual cause of shorts in the corners and are usually caused by the reflow profile. BGA have a natural tendency to warp due to CTE and package thermal mismatch, as you have seen at rework. The PBGA will go from a bowl shape to an

Has anyone had any experience with thermal shocking and cracking of SMD capacitors during the rework process? My company was advised to preheat capacitors to 125 C at a rate of 2 C/sec before replacing them onto boards. Would this maybe degrade c

Tom: You are right. Pre-heating is just as necessary in rework as it is in intiial production. Zephyrtronics produces an economical convective bottom side pre-heater known as an airbath. This product ramps the substrate and assembly at 2-4 degrees
