Hi All, I would like to get some inputs regarding this.... I have bare PCB which were stored with kapton tape attached on the Au plated pads. These were stored for close to a year. Upon removal of kapton tape, we noticed discolorations on the edges o

Bob Bob: Fortunately, you found this before you built-up a lot of product. Some thoughs and other drivel: 1 Use IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.8 for copper peel with a Instron machine. Typical pad peel strength requirement for FR-4, 2 oz. copper is: 6 l

hello, One way to prevent copper land delamination is to applied Anchoring spurs also referred to as "tie-down tabs" or "rabbit ears".These are a metal projection around a land.This features is fully captured by the cover lay (cover coat) that is n

Dear All, anyone has experienced with thin layer of immersion tin (about 5 microns) on copper pads in term of long term reliability for first or second reliability studies. Any input will be greatly appriciated.. Thanks.

hello guys ; we are using a fine pitch component(0.65mm) on a thick copper PCB (Cu = 90�m) ; in this case we notice that we are in the process'limits , because the different supplier of the PCB are not able to ensure a good stability of it's process

I am working in electronic automotive industry and today we are facing to a very serious problem : if we want to use a PCBoard with a copper thickness of 90�m + fine pitch circuit (0.65mm, 0.5mm) the supplier(several) of the PCB has some trouble t

Hello Pascal As mentioned by Wolfgang the key issue is the printing process capability. For a thick copper level 90�m we noticed that the pad reduction can be greater than 20% depending on supplier sources. Typicaly for a cad Width = 0.4 we can

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'

Hi Pascal, 0,65mm pitch normally isn�t much of a problem. With 90�m CU I don�t have any experience but would like to know what deviation from nominal value for the pads you get with different PCB-deliveries. In short, for the standard Cu=35�m we se
