Hi Jeff, These adhesive backed flexible stencils sound like something that could be really usefull. Do you know where I can get more information about it ? Kind regards, Daan Terstegge SMT Centre Thales Communications Unclassified mail Personal Website: http://www.smtinfo.net >>> Jeff Ferry <[log in to unmask]> 02/05 4:36 pm >>> Trevor, We have 4 BGA Reworks systems that go all day. We've tested just about every technique possible and apply solder paste vs. flux only in almost every case. We've also been using a new type of disposable adhesive backed flexible stencil for applying the paste that's been a real time saver.

I have a question about reworing BGAs. Do you have to reprint the solder paste before placing the component or can you lay down some flux and rely on the solder balls of the BGA? Thanks in advance Trevor Goddard, SMT Supervisor XLTEK (905) 829-5300 x 348 [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
