Q:
Do you have any tips to offer for PB-free, solder-reflow assembly on LGA iSensor devices, such as the ADIS16209 or ADIS16265?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
The iSensor devices, which come in LGA package styles, support standard Pb-free, solder-reflow assembly techniques. When designing an assembly process flow, please keep the following things in mind, which seem to be the most common themes associated with low-yields through PCB-level assembly operations.
Protecting the leads can involve the following:
