You might try a no HASL spec on your fids...but shelf life may hamper copper quality. Not a pleasant situation...opertors tend to polish the fids with erasers to compensate but this leads to eraser "bits" in your equipment and your solder! Maby op

Hi Dane, if with "dome" is meant the irregularity of a HASL finish than we had a lot of problems especially like Dean mentioned with finepitch parts and circular fids. It ended up with cleaning the fids with erasers before using the boards. Later we

hi I am designing a test vehicle with a range of components on it(pbga, cbga,fc, mbga, and qfps). My concern is that I would like to use a single stencil for solder deposition and not a stepped stencil. That would require me to have aperture design a

Francois: Sound like a messy process to me. Choice #1: Put only SMT parts on the primary side Choice #2: Put only SMT parts on the primary and secondary sides Choice #3: Put only SMT and PTH parts on the primary side Choice #4: Put only SMT and

Don't feel alone. Many assemblers have the same problem but aren't fortunate enough to have say in the design of the board. They're either have a capital invedtment in a selective solder machine or pallets designed to mask bottom-side SMD. The pal

We bulid many boards with fine pitch on solder side and then wave. We use a wave fixture that is custom for each board. The fixture covers the SMT components and only exposes the PTH lead during the wave process. It requires about .070 to .100" clear

Sal, This is a common problem experienced by several OEM's. It all comes down to heat. This is why the problem is corrected on your repair unit. I would suggest using a Slim Kic or Data Pac (mole) to thermal couple the IC prior to the reflow oven.

We're considering an ENIG finish on some of our boards to resolve some coplanarity concerns with 20 mil pitch QFP100s. I welcome any comments on the subject, especially regarding solderability and the variables of ENIG that affect it, but would part
