Hey Vinny, Sorry I haven't looked at this for a while. 3 things to try: Tombstoning- The ground plane side is larger because the solder mask allows for a little slop at the board shop (clearance around a pad of a few mils). Since there is not a defi

HOW THICK IS THE BOARD? IS THERE A LOT OF COPPER IN THE BOARD? DOES YOUR CUSTOMERS PROVIDE HEAT RELIEF IN THE BOARDS BARREL DESIGN THERE NEEDS TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR LEADFREE SOLDER TO FLOW, DID YOU CHECK YOUR PIN(LEAD)TO HOLE (BARREL) RATIO? N

Is the process the same for every product running through the selective solder machine? Load program, acquire or set up fixture, Change/load flux?, Change/Load solder pot? Are the machines cold when the operators need to use them or are the machin

IPC-610 Rev B: Paragraph 4.1 (page 52), As an exception to fil requirements on Table 4-1 on thermal heat sink planes plated through holes, a 50% vertical fill of solder is permitted, but with solder extending 360 degrees around the lead with 100% wet

What he is talking about when he said "foil" is the top and bottom side of the board has a layer that is like a ground plane with no solder resist covering it. It is etched out around the pads that no not need a connection and have a small bride or t

Where are the shorts occurring on the 96 pin connector? Are they consistently in the same areas? It looks as though there are a number of pins connected by traces on the board, and/or the ground plane. This would cause a lot of repeatable shorts i

Another variable is whether the ground pads have proper thermal reliefs. If the pad has solid ground plane around the perimeter, the heat being applied will quickly dissipate to the surrounding metal. A proper relief of the pad will prevent the hea

Greetings everyone. We are currently doing some experimentation with solder paste printing over ground planes. In this application, the entire perimeter of the PCB is a ground plane. It's about 4mm wide and wraps around the whole PCB; There is no so
