| | | | | | One of the DFM suggestions I've seen is to remove the solder mask web, i.e. the mask between pads on 20-mil QFP devices. The rational is that if the mask is thicker than the pad the mask can prevent the stencil from making intimate conta

We need more information about the situation. For instance: * Describe the green residue * Talk about the distribution of the problem, including a single lot or from various lots and over components and component types on the board * Tell us about t

We're not sure of the condition of your solder paste. So, afte 24 hours, if it's: * Unused, in a reclosed container, maybe a week of life depending on the environment * Used, scrap A simple coalescence test can quickly determine the condition of sol

SAG: Questions on solder mask webbing with fine pitch parts are: * What is the minimum pitch that you can use webbing between fine pitch pads? * What solder mask do you use?

Desire to push the spacing limit as usual. If I place two 0402 components spaced 7mils between the edge of the two components adjacent pads, which allows for 4mils solder mask webbing between component pads, what would the risk be? Potential for sold

Todd: You say: "... solder masking between the lands of fine pitch components can cause stenciling problems and or manufacturing problems." I say: Fine pitch components without solder masking between the lands can cause stenciling problems and o

Now that's surprising that your board fabricator would say the mask was cured properly [without even inspecting the boards]. I wonder if they can backup those BOLD words when testing your boards with the webbing problem. The reason you can�t find t
