Hello Tech Netters,

New board designs are incorporating BGAs on both sides of the board.  During
the 2nd side reflow, it appears that some of the larger BGAs installed on
the 1st side reflowed which are now upside down are dropping slightly I
suspect due to gravity.  Dropping in the wrong direction, away from the pwb.

Who can shed some info on how to either stop the BGAs from dropping, or
apply some type of adhesive to the corners after 1st side reflow to secure
the BGA in place?  I am worried that securing the corners with an adhesive
my later cause a reliability problem since you are now securing the corners
to the pwb.

thanks
joe
