Hello, We are using a PCB with thickness 3.2mm 4 layer and lot of through hole via's of diameter 0.4mm. We specified our PCB vendor to do plugging. Now we have big problems, that after 1..4 weeks we measure a low resistance between track's/via's of

Q1. Is this a standard process for plugging? A1. Not as such. We checked both IPC-6012 and IPC-SM-840. Neither comments on plugging. So, your fabrication notes rule the day. Q2. Is this okay for such thick PCB's or is it mandatory to use a special pl

This is not about the physical laws but besides contamination, which will actually IMO cause NO WETTING, it is quite vital that the time-limit the flux is active is not exceeded during your reflow process. Depending on your paste/flux you will have a

I guess this clarifies the defect more then looks at the process, but I�ll just through it out there for the sake of learning something new. If anyone would comment on this please feel free�. There are many different varieties of dewetting defects.

One of the boards has a via designed right in the middle of a pad for a 1206 cap, one side only. This causes the solder paste to run into the via during reflow. We run No-Clean paste. One alternative is to increase the aperture on the stencil for tha

Hi Making contact has been one reported problem, so some testers put in higher force probes that then might cause problems. If fixturing is done correctly, the OSP is done correctly, and test follows close in time after soldering little problems s

First of all, do not use kapton tape! It tends to cause a dewetting effect around the tape. A call to Humiseal will explain why. There's not really a blanket answer to your question.... Removing cured liquid mask can often result in a fillet ef

Since your problem has been posted quite some time ago I am eager to know, if you have got any clue. One of my customers recently claimed our 313-PBGA causing problems, as one of its balls (randomly) is almost dewetting. So no evidence is found by x-

This is getting to be a more common practice, especially with the application of a 2-D bar code directly to the board (via laser, ink jet,etc.) Some really major companies are jumping on the bandwagon because it also allows treating each board as a l
