Air gap on the PCB is determined the pad spacing which in turn is governed by the component. As long as the PCB designer is following the typical BGA layout best practices; i.e no open via in pad, non-solder mask defined pads, solder mask covered tra

Hi Steve, Thanks. This from the trusted supplier. HASL finished PCB. Even PCB supplier is using the water wash flux for fabrication. Its almost eliminated with N2 environment. And we had got a expert view from Dr. Lee of Indium on the issue st

I feared so. The only thing to be done is to tell the PCB manufacturer to increase the Thermal cure so dont set the oven to 150C but to 170C and actually measure the middle board and once it hits 155C then give it an hour cure from then. Also insist

There is a difference between VIOS and VIOS TEXT. If you want to copy the program from one machine to another exactly, I would suggest you do VIOS. Just insert a floppy and perform "Make PCB Data Disk". This formats the disk in VIOS format. Next go t

Hello everyone! I have had this idea in my head to DIY a desktop KVM (without the V so I guess just a KM) board that I can solder USB A headers to with a DPDT switch. I designed the board and when I thought it was all good to go I proudly sent it of

Hi, I need help on how to address the solder wicking on the samtec searay connector after reflow resulting to open solder joints on thick and thermal heavy PCB (4.4mm and 6.3mm). I increased my solder paste thickness to 8 mils, the connector is manua

Hi Evtimov, Thanks again! The solder wicking/open solder joint is not actually gross rejection, it is only a few and appeared random (difficult to trend the location of the opens), what is perflexing is that i have this 1 or 2 open solder joints sur

Routing is great for odd shaped PCBs that don't lend themselves to v-scoring. changing from one shape PCB to another is easy. The down sides are you may require custom support tooling and they generate alot of dust. keeping up with the PM will be cri
