A hot air gun or hot air station is used to heat devices and melt solder, and specialised tools are used to pick up and position often tiny components. A rework station is a place to do this work—the tools and supplies for this work, typically on a workbench. Other kinds of rework require other tools. [1]
Low-profile fine-pitch ball grid array : A square or rectangular array of solder balls on one surface, ball spacing typically 0.8 mm; Micro ball grid array : Ball spacing less than 1 mm; Thin fine-pitch ball grid array : A square or rectangular array of solder balls on one surface, ball spacing typically 0.5 mm
The solder balls can be placed manually or by automated equipment, and are held in place with a tacky flux. [2] A coined solder ball is a solder ball subject to coining, i.e., flattening to a shape resembling that of a coin, to increase contact reliability. [3] Ball grid array, chip-scale package, and flip chip packages generally use solder balls.
Pre-configured solder balls matching the array pattern can be used to reball BGAs when only one or a few need to be reworked. For higher volume and repeated lab work, a stencil-configured vacuum-head pick-up and placement of loose spheres can be used. Due to the cost of visual X-ray BGA inspection, electrical testing is very often used instead.
Component placement is an electronics manufacturing process that places electrical components precisely on printed circuit boards (PCBs) to create electrical interconnections between functional components and the interconnecting circuitry in the PCBs (leads-pads). The component leads must be accurately immersed in the solder paste previously ...
For example, if the part was shifted 0.25 mm and rotated 10° when picked up, the pickup head will adjust the placement position to place the part in the correct location. Some machines have these optical systems on the robot arm and can carry out the optical calculations without losing time, thereby achieving a lower derating factor.
Solder joint dimensions in SMT quickly become much smaller as advances are made toward ultra-fine pitch technology. The reliability of solder joints becomes more of a concern as less and less solder is allowed for each joint. Voiding is a fault commonly associated with solder joints, especially when reflowing a solder paste in the SMT application.
Embedded wafer level ball grid array (eWLB) is a packaging technology for integrated circuits. The package interconnects are applied on an artificial wafer made of silicon chips and a casting compound. Principle eWLB. eWLB is a further development of the classical wafer level ball grid array technology (WLB or WLP: wafer level package). The ...
