Professional Usage Guidelines
To ensure a 100% success rate during the reballing process:
-
Preparation: Clean the IC surface thoroughly using a solder wick and flux cleaner. Any residual old solder will cause the stencil to sit unevenly.
-
Paste Application: Use a medium-viscosity solder paste (e.g., Mechanic M9 183°C). Spread evenly with a firm scraper.
-
Heat Control: Set your hot air station to approximately 330°C - 350°C with low airflow. Hold the stencil down with tweezers at the edges to ensure zero movement.
-
Cleaning: After the solder balls have formed and cooled, clean the stencil immediately with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. Do not let paste harden in the square holes.
