BGA RE-BALLING KIT

1.  First, apply a thin film of a very tacky, no clean flux (Zephlux (NCF-0014 included in the Kit!) over the entire grid area of the Ball Grid Array or Chip Scale Package using an anti-static foam swab (SFS-A-0050 included in kit!) shown at left.     2. Choose the appropriate Re-Balling Screen (from your  Kit) for your BGA pattern. Place your fluxed component on the underside of your Re-Balling Screen. Make sure that your component and the Screen are squared. We probably have the Screen/Stencil for your particular BGA here in our factory. If not, we can in a very short time.     3. Now, position your Re-Balling Pan (included in kit!) under the Re-Balling Screen. Place the component into the Re-Balling Pan so that the handles of the Re-Balling Screen lie directly above those of the Re-Balling Pan. As shown at left.     4. Remove lid from Re-Balling Tank (included in your Kit). Place Re-Balling Pan unit into the grooves of your Re-Balling Tank. Pour appropriate Solder Spheres (included in kit!) onto Re-Balling Screen. Holding both handles, rotate left & right dumping any excess spheres into the Tank.     5. Either turn on your ZT-3 Air Pick, place a Re-Balling Needle Tip (our popular ZT-5-VPAK variety tip pack is included in the kit!) of a smaller size then your Solder Spheres on the end of the AirPick.     6. Now, use your ZT-3-AirPick to remove any extra Solder Spheres that you have left. Also use your AirPick to fill in any holes on your Re-Balling Screen as shown here.
				7. Place the Re-Balling Platform (included in Kit!) into your ABC-1 Board Cradle. Position the the Cradle in front of your ZT-7-MIL. Now, simply place the Re-Balling Pan and Re-Balling Screen on top of the ReBalling Platform using the convenient handles as shown in the photo at the left.
				8. Next lower the Z-axis heating zone of the ZT-7-MIL down to where the hot air nozzle is approximately 1/8" or 3mm above the Re-Balling unit. Set the countdown timer to 1:20. Set your top temperature to 230ºC. Start the timer and the heating from above.
				9. Yes! The picture at the left says it all. When the timer begins to beep, turn off top heater. As the Re-Balling unit cools, carefully separate the component out from the screen as shown in the photograph at the left. (Caution: The Re-Balling unit may still be hot.) Inspect your component and you are ready for final cleaning.
				10.  Final Cleaning: Dip one of your Thru-Hole Brushes (included in Kit!) into the non-flammable flux remover (NFR-0056, also included in the Kit!). Generously apply the flux-remover throughout the component until all of the old flux has been stripped away. Inspect.
