| | I am looking for advice or information from anyone about the possible reliability problems associated with epoxy on solder pads of discrete devices. Will the epoxy expand and lift over time, Will there be adverse reaction between the solder and t

I understand that there may not be a lot of material on this, as most threads I've seen discourage doing it. It goes against DFM to do it. But I wish to use a large copper area instead of heat sink and thermal epoxy to cool a regulator. But I can'

Dave: There's lots of stuff on the web describing BGAs. Examples are: http://www.smtnet.com/bookstore/publications/0speckdo1/s1.html http://www.smtnet.com/bookstore/publications/0shutcco1/ch1p2.html http://www.citizen-america.com/OEM/bga/process

We are in the watch & clock Business. We have a Watch IC chip that has to be wirebonded using Ultrasonic aluminium wedge bonder. The wire dia is 1.25mil. The PCB is made of G10 Glass epoxy copper clad laminate. The copper thickness is 18 microns. The

It sounds like you already know the answer. Hand soldering is much more stressful to a board than mass soldering, because: * It is more localized and there is no preheat. * It is more difficult to control. [Different connections require different h

Look here: http://www.circuittechctr.com/ As a low cost approach, use copper foil purchased from a stained glass window hobbyist shop. Cut foil pieces to size with a sharp knife. Epoxy the pieces in place of the damaged pads. Tin and then solder th

Q1: What do you mean by "if the board is manufactured properly"? A2: If the epoxy is noy cured prooperly, for instance, the copper will not be well attached to the glass. So, peel strength will be lower. Q2: I don't believe that the peel off/or lif

To get real conductivity in your traces you will need to remelt your copper or silver tracks. This means 850oC. The other method is plating at low temps, or etching. Epoxies like all carbon based compounds vaporize at 400oC. Next problem epoxy fibre
