Oh, OK. There is not specification for that either. Capacitor fabricators [eg, TDK, Kemet, AVX, etc] give good guidelines. For instance: http://www.kemet.com/kemet/web/homepage/kechome.nsf/vapubfiles/F2111/$file/F2111.pdf

Nelco was developed by Park [ http://www.parknelco.com/parknelco/highspeed.htm ] Without fairly involved testing, you may be forced to rely on a c of c from your fabricator. Although, Park may be able to give you a lead.

Kinda makes you wonder if the product truly belongs to your customer, doesn't it? There should be a marking or legend on the bare board that identifies the board fabricator. That fab should have artwork / gerber data for the board.

We wave [primary side] and reflow crystals for oscillators without fear. We hand solder liquid crystal displays. Consider checking with the crystal fabricator and using their guidelines.

Consider: * Changing your temporary solder resist [TSR] to a light cure. * Contracting with your board fabricator to apply the TSR. * Gaining better thickness control of your application process by silk screening the current TSR. * Forcing more air c

There are a host of possibilities. Virtually any fabrication process prior to outer layer manufacturing prior to HAL could contribute to dewetting. That goes all the way to excessive brighteners in the copper plating line. Anything that prevents the

We don't know, but we'd contact Enthone-OMI [ http://www.enthone-omi.com ] for suggestions. Enthone makes materials used by fabricators of HDI, microvia boards.

Fabricators take different approaches in developing paste that is more or less prone to solder balling. That being said, you should be able to overprint 250 thou, no problem. Prove this to be correct by printing paste on a scrap board with an obsol
