Wha, Nellie!!! Delamination & Blistering IPC-A-600D Although it may occasionally occur because of a severe process breakdown, delamination and blistering occurs as a result of an inherent weakness of the material. Either condition represents a brea

| I have a problem with measling on our PCB's. We saw it on our FR4 PCB's at final assembly yesterday. Is this a defect from the board vendor or something we did in our assembly process when building the PCA's (thru hole). Could the wave solder ma

Very few concern themselves about the strength of solder connections, because it doesn�t require much strength to keep a solder connection attached to the board. More important are factors that arise as a result of the different materials properties

Causes of Delamination ["Quality Assessment of Printed Circuit Boards" Lund, Preben; Bishop Graphics 1985 0137450354] The reason for delamination is epoxy starvation in the glass cloth layers or an incomplete curing of the base material. It has been

Dear Steven: Often the recommendations for baking prior to assembly are derived from various J-stds. But J's currently concern baking moisture out of components, and fail to address the moisture issues of the PCB. Because of that, there is the IPC D

| | We had some failures on an IC package that the manufacturer has put down to moisture inside the package, leading to popcorning. | | This seems a bit odd, the package is a PLCC 84 which is quite thick. I have only seen this problem on thin package

REVISITING MULTILAYER DIMENSIONAL STABILITY AND LAMINATE INTEGRITY It has been said we must learn it all over again and again about every four years. I know Lee Ritchey said that to me about high speed digital circuit design. The same seems true for

Hi CP, From a PCB manufacturing side, all of our product is Lead free / RoHs compliant if it has a surface finish other than Hot Air. To be ROHS compliant and Able to with stand Lead Free Assembly, this is where the board house would need to switch

Hello all! For my mechanical engineering study I want to etch a strain gauge in the Wheatstone bridge configuration in a copper layer of an PCB. The goal is to measure the strain occurring in an PCB even during the press process! We can measure with
