I have 15 very large backplanes (.156" thick Au plating) that the ground pins of a high density thru-hole connector were not thermal relieved in the artwork. As a result we are unable to solder the 8 pins that connect to the ground plane. We know t

Further divide the ground block into more than 4 panes. Also think about using, assuming you have good placement of using Loctite chip bonder on two opposing corners. Lots of ways to get good results

hussman, hi, mebbe we get the stencil fab house guys who spend more time in the workshop making more stencils = more revenue, whereas your stencil fab house is more learned and refined? we make it a point to use an inhouse MS-Excel format to key in

Stencil Thickness should be .005" A reduction along with cross hatching is a must for the center pad to reduce paste volume as well as to assure even paste deposit while printing on a large pad. With out the cross hatch, the squeegie will most like

Hey Vinny, Sorry I haven't looked at this for a while. 3 things to try: Tombstoning- The ground plane side is larger because the solder mask allows for a little slop at the board shop (clearance around a pad of a few mils). Since there is not a defi

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. I have tried getting the design changed from the customer but they cannot provide thermal relief as this changes the RF performance and they cannot afford to do that. As for profile it does reach the reflow tempera

Hi All, We are producing a veriety of RF related PCBAs in which we see Unsolder/Mislaigned on a regular basis. In these baords usually one of the pad is connected to a signal trace and the other pad is connected to very huge ground plane. This gro

The padsfor large heat sinks are being designed on our boards with large copper ground planes surrounding them by our engineers. I am having great difficulty keeping the reflow temperature below 230 degrees in order for the temperature of the copper

Hi, where can I find info about how to make the pad design to work for VSSOP48 0.4 mm Pitch & TSSOP56 0.5 mm pitch components? I should also mention that we are working in a project that this 14 layers High-Frequency RoHS board is included. The pad c
