Clean vs No Clean PCB assembly process

Electronics Forum | Mon Jul 23 20:28:17 EDT 2001 | davef

We run both NC and OA flux, although the majority of our product is run on OA. For application not requiring uBGA, we find the benefits of NC elusive, at best. What? .... Your customer recognizes that initially the NC res in non-ionic, but sticky.

0402's for the first time!

Dave is right that this site has several leads on 0402 placements and tombstoning issues. However, I found a new method of determining the pick position. Remove a component and fill the cavity with silly putty. After attempted pick up you should see

Question on BGA Solderability

Electronics Forum | Tue Jul 24 20:00:40 EDT 2001 | davef

There is too little heat to make the solder flow properly. Test this theory by profiling on the pad where the solder doesn�t flow well. As the time after posting this thread increases, we generally propose additional theories. Rather than us specu

Mark: It sound like one or more of the following is happening: * Previous heat cycles (ie, reflow, reflow, wave) are degrading the surface protectant * Wire solder flux doesn't have enough stomp to burn through the corrosion. That poor ol' stuff

I have had good luck buying after market nozzles from SMT research. Fuji CP3 Nozzles, I bought the Heavy-duty version and they lasted 3 times longer than OEM Nozzles. SMT Research buy's their Panasonic nozzles from the same source as Panasonic does
