Hello Armando, this is what I found into the handbook "Failure Analysis of Electronic processes" : "...Flux residues with water-soluble flux activators that are conductive and corrosive if left on in large enough quantities are detrimental. If you

Armando: We're guessing that the white residue is on the laminate also. We believe that the residue has something to do with your low residue flux and water. It could be: * Water contamination in the flux. * Poor selection of preheat temperature that

Eric, use the TM 650 test method annexed. Don't forget to perform many test on many PCB (TOP and BOTTOM)on PADs in several position (at 4 corners and at the center) and obviously in the faulty position. Don't forget to change every time the tape. V

It sounds like the BGA balls are not melting. You're probably getting no collapse. Put a bare BGA on a hot plate. Heat it up until you get collapse. Adjust your reflow profile until you have that temperature on the BGA pads on the board. What is the

Do you know the exact BGA sphere alloy make-up and the alloys melt temp ? Then you can judge the ideal reflow temperature. Also, does the package warp in the reflow zone ? This may be causing the solder spheres on the BGA to lift off the pcb and henc

Hallo Joanne, I had employed by producer of Ecofrec 303. We make many tests of corrosion and conductive test in our company. All results of this tests was OK . Vast majority correspond mil standarts. When I ask my labor assistent in BRY, white residu

Hi Radek, Thanks for your reply. I use this flux with manual soldering process for the product. Is this flux suitable for manual soldering? or it is only for wave soldering? I have sent the board for analysis, and the report shown that the white res

Among the best BGA rework systems are: * SRT http://www.vjelectronix.com/vjebeta/products.asp?title=Rework%20Solutions * AirVac http://www.air-vac-eng.com * Metcal http://www.metcal.com * ERSA http://www.ersa.de/en

Hello, thanks for the help. Since this is only for prototypes we can avoid lead-free. Also our boards are not that big or thick. On the other side, our parts are small, the smallest is 1.5x1mm. Would the DRS24 work? What brand is usally more affor

Jack, I've heard of it, and reviewed their website; but that's about the limit of my exposure. I'd be interested in impressions after the web demo. I'm assuming you have some knowledge/exposure to Circuitcam. If you'd like to contact me off the s
