Dear all, My customer is asking me to add chevron solder mask registration marks to their board design, drive fabrication capability study from their board vendor(s), and make sure tolerances are established correctly for copper traces and solder mas

The color variation in the solder mask from our PCB supplier varies to the point that we have problems with our AOI recognition and accuracy. We have not been successful at finding an industry spec which outlines solder mask color requirements. We

We have encountered what appears to be mask discoloration after wave soldering. The areas of concern coincide with the areas that were exposed selectively by fixtures during wave soldering, dominated by one date code of PCB with a slightly different

Most of our boards are fabricated with solder mask over bare copper [SMOBC], but we have couple where the solder isn't removed before masking. And ever so offin they's a liddy bit mo' solder than we'd like, which when reflowed, ends-up connecting so

Peter are you having fun with solder masks erwat? We saw this years ago with LPI solder masks. It shows occasionally with other masks. We agree with Russ. If nothing [eg, alcohol, flux thinner, acetonitrile, or water] dissolves the haze, then it

Thanks Dave, and yes we can leave the solder there in this instance. These panels, 12up, are NCMR from the customer. The customer is saying that after the panels have been reflowed 5 times! solder starts to accumulate under the mask. Get this, My sen

Easy, DL says the customer is telling him after 5 reflow processes they get solder under the mask. He tried it and didn't see anything. DL needs more information to understand why and where this is occurring. So, if he can't duplicate the problem
