10.10 Reflow Soldering
Receptacle
should
be
reflowed
using
profile
developed
specifically
for
this
component/assembly. A
nitrogen atmosphere
is typically
preferred during
the
reflow
stage.
10.11 Inspection
Receptacle should be
visually inspected first
, using hand-held mirrors or a digital endoscope.
Reworked solder joints should have
same appearance as non-reworked solder joints.
If no defects are noted during visual inspection, it should then be evaluated by 2-dimensional
x-ray. If no defects are noted under the 2-D x-ray inspection, rework can be considered
successful.
10.12 Rework Solder Paste Selection
Precautions:
The type of solder paste used in rework should be selected carefully.
The alloy (tin-lead or lead-free) should be verified before beginning rework
procedure.
Additionally, mixing flux chemistries can cause reliability problems. See chart on next page
for flux chemistry selection suggestions.
