Wanted to know if there was a good "to go by" tip other than the customers(if it helps current req.,10% of 30% of trace) requirements, about pits in the traces on copper plated ceramic substrates? More to the point how many is too many regardless of

Hi, I have a problem I've never seen before so I hope someone here can help. A recent batch of PCBs arrived where the copper lands delaminate with a small pull. Normally you have to pull pretty hard and the whole land comes off the substrate. These

Hi, could anyone tell me the maximum size of an SMD ceramic capacitor that can be assembled on a copper based substrate reliably? The SMD will be reflowed on the copper substrate. The main concern is the CTE mismatch between the ceramic capacitor and

Any member in here has experienced of copper migration from BGA's substrate to PWB during eutectic soldering reflow process, which resulted in brittle solder joints??? We have one customer notified us that our PBGA with DSOP substrate having copper m

Hello, We have designed a 160ball bga substrate. Now we want to use the same substrate for the 145ball version of the product. All are the same, the package size, ball pitch, solder ball size only the number of balls will change. We will use a new s

Thanks for all the info Dave. It's the interconnect between the copper foil pad and the eutectic solder ball that I'm most interested in. The BGA in question is very thin gold plated over nickel over the copper. When we are reworking the BGA, i

We have 1/2 dozens 0.031 pcbs that bow after going through the oven. We are looking for a solution to this problem to prevent bowing of the pcbs. As a result of the bowing, the pcbs, on occasion get caught in the oven, and more often have transfer
