Hello, We have recently installed a selective soldering machine and are seeing some voiding/cratering in random locations. We have done some basic experimenting with fluxing parameters, preheat and dwell times but haven't been able to eliminate it.

1. To protect the nickel and copper under gold plating from oxidization before soldering. Gold plating can extend the PCB self-life and improve the solderability for 2nd re-flow. 2. Provide a good bonding strength. For Chip on Board process that Gol

Anyone used this package? It's Cygnal PN C8051F300. The part has bottom side, flat terminations (like a BGA without the balls). There is metalization on the sides of the package but it's not plated (bare copper). Metalization on the bottom is pla

Hi to all, All of us are familiar with the conventional way of making PCB...I mean...photo tools/expose/develop/etch/plate etc., These involve lots of chemicals and the work place is toxic. I have a small PCB with just two curves (circuit tracks)and

Dear sir, I have a problem to find the new chemical solution instead IPA(isopropyl alcohol) to eliminate contamination on the test pin socket board made from copper that plate with nickle and gold. And after the often testing IC process, the co

Bruce, Does the thicker barrel plating for "RoHS-Rated" PCBs alleviate some of the copper dissolution that one might experience from SAC305? Also, for those SN100c experts out there, is Sn100c less likely to dissolve copper?

What problems are the quality people seeing? I hope they aren't expecting a toe fillet. QFNs are typically cut from an array after plating. This leaves exposed copper on the sides of the part. We'll often see smearing from the sawing process that
