As one of our small batch processes, we place BGAs on PCB without using solder paste. We apply tacky flux to a predetermined height on a pallet, "dip" the BGA into the tacky flux to wet the solder balls to the set height, and then use a BGA rework st

Hi Ken, It looks like you have some solid practical experience in the transition from leaded to lead-free soldering. I hope you don�t mind me asking a question. With conventional soldering we have a library of workmanship standards available (SMT,

Hi Ken, Thank you for the reply Ken. I hope I don�t get my behind in trouble for subject change in this thread. But you hit the nail on the head in your comment with Hitachi, when they converted to lead-free they had a �5 times higher defect rate� i

Have the SOIC tested by independant. Clarify as to weather or not you have run this board before. Check to see if the board has been rev'ed. Sometimes IC's are rated at a clock speed or by axcess time. Engneering on this board may be at the tolorance

Hey Folks. I'm new to the board and I figured what better way to introduce my self than with a question =-) I'm living in an Old house and the Power Fluxuations are reaking havoc on my computer. I want to build my self a continuous uninteruptable

We process a double-side reflow board (10 ups). Chips and IC's on the bottom side while chips, IC's plus thru-hole connectors and IC sockets on top side (bottom side first then top side reflow). In the past, we were not encountering any soldering pro

Hi all, We produced a RoHS (lead-free) prototype order recently, and there was some components that we needed to replace on a couple of PCBA's. We found it very hard to do this even with the new solder iron. The components was just small RoHS SOIC's

You can continue repair and rework with tin/lead solder until 7/06. However!!! Any product still on the shelves overseas after 7/06 will be returned to the USA. Thought? Maybe start repairing with SAC305 now? Also SAC is Tin, Silver and Copper. No Ni

Hi guys, Have any of you encountered harwin connector M80-647 in the past? Have you noticed any problems with the reliability of the component, solderability and 'reworkability' (thats a new word for sure)? Heres a PDF of the component; http://www.
