We've never heard of it either. Stained glass widow people use varous types of copper and brass tape / foil in their work. A widely used suppler of this tape is Venture [ http://www.venturetape.com ]. They may be able to help. We're not sure how

We understand that you have boards in production that you need to ship. In the future, you could eliminate your moisture caused blow hole issue a lot more simply than baking. Consider requiring that your board fab plate the copper thickness of throug

| Earl, | I admit that I missed your article since I seemed to have let my subscription to Circuit Fabrication Magazine expire. I am interested in your experience in this area. Is there a way to get a copy of your paper? Could you maybe post it to

I think OA flux left on the pot would quickly looses its activity and become part of the dross waste stream, and smoke stream for that matter. Also, if your wave is setup properly your selective pallets will scour (push) the top of the lambda wav

Designers love to do BIG copper pours for several reasons: * Maximize heat spreading. * Increase EMI shielding. * Laziness. The poor folk that solder the parts on boards HATE big copper planes near solder pads. During soldering, fat copper traces [

It's unlikely that anyone other than the biggest of whooses would think of 0.031" a fine pitch. I prefer 0.025" on tape with solder plated copper leads make in a shape that bears-up well after being driven over by a Mack truck, yet is compliant enou

So you have solder balls at the outer edge of the part right where the pad goes underneath? If so you just have too much solder but I wouldn't worry about them. the solder usually does not wet to the edges of these parts because of the exposed copp

We now put soldermask on copper and then immersion nickel/gold plate our fine line boards. One of our vendors says this causes skipped plating in small via holes and wants to nickel/gold plate the whole board, including via holes, and then apply sold

Yes l know this problem keeps cropping up on the forum but l've missed some of the follow-ups. Our problem is that the lifting only occurs on 3% of production so actually detecting an improvement is difficult. We're actually having to inspect 144 p

David F. thanks for information about the copper plating issues, I will check out the Indium site as you suggest. You are right about Thermount being Unreworkable, but T.I. makes us do it due to the cost of these RF proto types, $250 each bard board.
