Graham:
        What machine and fluid are you using? I have read a lot of good
things about vapor phase. It still has not caught on as it did in the
past. I am sure not all the machines are as well designed nor as robust
as others.
        Regards,
        Ramon

HI TECHIES

One solution to the problems reported is the use of vapour phase or, as
some prefer, condensation soldering.

The advantage being that the temperature delta can be maintained at
something around 12C assuming SAC at 219C and the fluid boiling at 230C.
Of course the process permits a more uniform heati transfer within less
than 2 seconds between the outer and inner solder spheres on BGA.

So to the original problem sufferer Poh Kong Hui, you might want to
investigate this process route and do some comparative analyses. This is
a really cool solution - sorry Dewey, couldn't resist that one!

Kindest regards
Graham Naisbitt
