Vapor soldering has some advantages for heavy boards, especially in energy transfer to the board and solder. The soldering temperature is fixed by the boiling point of the liquid used, and will not exceed that temperature, another advantage. The tr

We've had very few tombstone problems but all were fixed by reducing the apertures of the affected components.

Ianchan: Watch yourself. Old style vapor phase oven are being replaced by ovens build to capitalize on new generation fluids [ie, Ausimont, F2, etc]. These machines could fill roles in soldering of no-leads.

could you elaborate on the type of component involved to help us understand the issue better....if this assembly is a special case you might try vapor phase soldering of that assembly...although that is a capital investment if you are not currently s

If the sensor can survive the 200C in the molding machine, then could it not survive Pb-free soldering? Maybe not convection reflow, but it should be able to survive vapor-phase reflow. I would control solder height by controlling the amount of paste

We have been doing pilot runs with vacuum installed on vapor phase. Voids are down but bridges are up on the .5mil BGAs.
