Coins are sometimes used on PCB's with RF Power Field Effect Transistors. These boards are usually mounted in an housing. They provide a ground path for the transistor to the PCB and thermal path to the housing. The coins are usually made of aluminu

regarding dwl comment, "For low volume hand assembly, deionized water or IPA should work fine." Deionized water: Deionized water is corrosive. It needs to be removed. Proof? Drop a copper coin into a covered jar of DI water and watch what happens ov

Q: Could any of you guys tell me what exactly is this greenish thing ? A: No, but is not copper oxide. Copper oxide is brown, the color of a penny [here in the US] or an untreated copper laminated trace on a board. Many copper salts are greenish in

Let's face it guys...in most cases (stress the MOST!) a typical FR4 board will do the job. Few layers, low copper, not too densly populated etc...no worries. Use a reflow profile which avoids the 245-250C range, use a shorter TAL, Viola you have a go

As a shot in the dark response to a hopelessly vague question .... Back in the old days, we'd see corrosion of metal parts after DI water washing when our water was on the high-end of the resistivity range, usually after we received fresh tanks from

We design a broad range of DC/DC power supplies for various telecom, internet, and computor applications and have been succesfully using intrusive reflow for ~7 years now. Our pcbs range from 0.065 to 0.090 in thickness and are moslty dense 4 to 8 la
