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.
After switching from No-clean flux to Water soluble (Kester)we encountered voids problem (X-ray and microsectioning). Reducing the apperture sizes made the voids smaller but did not eliminate them. So...(view more)
Hi Guys, Thanks for all your informative replies. I do know that Motorola is using a No Clean Eutectic Solder for their BGA's. We are in Aerospace and is using a Water Soluble Paste Flux. ...(view more)
Hi, We place BGA, but until now have not used X-Ray inspection, and it would be a good thing to have. Can anyone recommend a low cost X-Ray that would get us by. We don't need something fast, bu...(view more)
It's been a while since BGA usage become widespread. Ton's of articles had been written with regards to design, processing, techniques, inspection etc...but it seems like there's still no hard ground ...(view more)
Hi, What's the maximum and minimum solder void that can be accepted during X-ray? What about the percentage of Ball Roundness?(view more)
We are having intermittent faults with BGA's soldered onto an immersion gold finish board with snpb solder. One potential cause I have been informed is the formation of phosphorus crystals. As I am no...(view more)
Hi all, I have never had to run a product with BGAs on the bottomside of a double sided board. I was just wondering if this is a done thing ? or should I stay well clear. any replies appre...(view more)
I have been trying to rework a lead-free BGA. For some reason, when I remove the BGA the corner pads on the board come off and the board must be scrapped. If I do manage to remove the BGA successfully...(view more)
Is there some good resources (.pdfs, websites, articles) that someone can point me to regarding design for bga footprints? I need to brush up on thermal relief design for bga footprints. I got a custo...(view more)
