2D codes take up much less real estate so that might work. Something else we did was to go to CO2 lasers and mark directly into the solder mask. Underlying copper gave adequate contrast to the green mask. Much more of an investment, but works grea

on church copper roofs they call the green stuff verdigree (dont know if ive spelt it right)

If I was you, I would use solid copper wire and modify the new switch to have contacts same location and size as the old one. Then solder the same spot a s a full replacement.

We agree with Pat, but it's far from straight forward. [er maybe we should say we don't understand it.] We duplicated the results of a posting on the web. Flux, then dunk copper wire into tinning pots set at 250*C for measured periods of time. The

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

I was afraid so. Hand soldering wires in general is not difficult, but with your constraint of the space restriction it does make fairly hard to do. I am assuming you have a 2 sided board and stranded copper wire. So once solder starts to flow, th

Hello Steve, Yes, there are differences in the various alloys and I have described briefly below these differences: SN100- a common name for 100% tin that is used to increase the tin content in 63/37. SN100C-Name for Tin/Copper/Nickel/Germanium all

If you're using non-lead free parts then you don't have a pbfree assembly so why worry about marking it anyway? We apply this artwork after the assembly has been completely engineered for lead free. Artwork can be covered up with mask or whatever if

It is also possible to etch the barcodes directly on the PCB by using a laser. The solder resist mask is easily burned by laser and if there is copper underneath the contrast is quite good. The contrast is satisfactory even if there is no metal under

I would try a PTFE (Teflon) wire or Teflon protected wire or you could try anodized aluminum. Its getting more and more interesting how the lead free era develops. Just a thought I wander how long its going to take the tin (not passivated with lead)
