Category:PCB BGA
A ball grid array (BGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging (a chip carrier) used for integrated circuits. BGA packages are used to permanently mount devices such as microprocessors. A BGA can provide more interconnection pins than can be put on a dual in-line or flat package. The whole bottom surface of the device can be used, instead of just the perimeter.
As you are aware the common method to rework BGA is : 1. Remove BGA with hot air reflow machine ( SRT as current practice) 2. Clean the BGA pad using solder iron and solder wick. 3. Replace BGA with S...(view more)
Has anyone ever placed and reflowed a 1.27mm PBGA to 6 mil poly flex bonded to aluminum? If so what is the life expectancy of the solder joints?(view more)
We are starting to use high count BGAs (512). Is there an industry standard on how to inspect the BGAs. Should all BGAs be inspected with Xray equipment or is there other solutions? Thank you(view more)
Hi everyone, here a question for the SMT production engineers... is possible today mount the fine pitch and ultrafine pitch devices (BGA, QFP, CSP), without using the local fiducials, but using the th...(view more)
I am looking for some general information with respect to BGA devices on circuit boards. I work for an automation company and am curious to know who's doing what with BGA placements, specifically the ...(view more)
I have an assembly that uses several different BGA packages. During troubleshooting we have found that some of the balls in the corners of the BGA's are separated from the underside of the package. Th...(view more)
Hi All, Ok, now i have hit a brick wall with our design department and due to limited space on our standard sized boards we are going down the Double-Sided route. We have a 8 zone (4 Top/B...(view more)
Hey All you Einsteins out there!! I gotta' problem...('course you do Steve, or you wouldn't be bugging the TechNet now would you?) I had a phone call from a acquaintance of mine wanting to bring...(view more)
We are just starting to manufacture a PCB with a .039" fine-line PBGA. We are currently seeing voids, mainly in the center, that are as much as 45%. We also intermittently see the corner balls of the ...(view more)
Hi Has anyone tried rework of lead-free assemblies? Any issues? Is there a solution for achieving high temperatures without adversely affecting board and component, considering the fact that hig...(view more)
