How close are your SMT pads to the gold fingers? Can you supply a photo?

Every place I have ever worked has taped off the gold fingers. Maybe not the first run but within a few runs.

Thoughts are: * Most board fabs have routers that can do this work. Can yours rework these boards? * Scrap the boards and start anew. Someone made a mistake. Cut your losses. * As a wild and crazy guy alternative, buy a router with a 45* bit from

Stop the lines...! Stop building defects and rework into your product. Contact Fab Supplier and have pipeline filled for small amount of replacement fabs to keep lines running and limiting production scheduling and impact. Request to have the board

We are trying to reduce the number of unit fail at QA Visual Inspection due to Solder On Gold Finger. We know so far that the solder is spattering onto the Gold Finger during reflow. I need some advise on what kind of process can improve to reduce th

We are trying to reduce the number of units fail at system test due to flux on gold finger. We know so far that the flux is deposited onto the goldfinger during touch-up or rework and to reduce the contamination we are planning to implement 'tapin

Hi, Need some advice on how to eliminate or reduce the solder on finger that we are having right now. So far what we understand is that 90% of the problem is due to the reflow process where solder traps in vias causing explosion when subjecte

Masdi, Try board shunts. They are hi-temp rubber strips with grooves cut. They can be popped on and off with ease and are much faster than taping and considerably cheaper. They also work great for masking goldfingers prior to wave soldering. Contac
