Have the PCB fabricator use a conductive paste to fill the vias and then finish by plateing over the via. Make sure it's coplanar to the side they're on, usually secondary side for discretes. PT

Hi Ian, Answers to your questions: 1) PCB Pad Finishing- HASL 63/37 2)Checked a sample lot of parts. Coplanarity did not seem to be an issue. Some of the parts checked still exibited this condition after reflow. 3) There are no large ground plane

| Read an earlier thread about using glass slugs to determine placement CPk. Can it actually be done this way? What's the procedure? Be interesting to know 'cause if it's feasible, I'd probably get myself a kit. None of us here are stat's experts

We've just completed an experiment for one of our customers using lead-free HASL. From a manufacturing standpoint, everything seemed to have run fine. Solder profiling seemed to be unaffected, pick and place was unaffected, and the end result looke

Hej, we have some connectors placed on our PCB. 2*30legs 0.5 After reflow we detect lifted legs in the AOI. Always on the outer corners. Is this something ye have experienced? And any possible solutions? Stuff we have tried: Checking the cop

Details, details: 1) The metal shell is part of the component body. The base metal is austenitic stainless steel (304) that has been plated with 90/10 tin-lead over nickel (semi-bright). 2) The entire part (leads and shell) is elevated by the mass o

Allowable bow & twist: Together, both IPC-A-600G and IPC-6012B represent the core IPC documents for describing the acceptable and nonconforming conditions that are either externally or internally visible on finished printed boards. IPC-A-600G relies

I have seen an issue that escapes our ICT and functional testing or operates in an intermitent fashion. The lead is slightly separated from the PCB with a fully formed solder joint behind it at the heel an toe. The joint apears to have started to tra

Thanks Robl. I’ve contacted samtec followed their advice but ended up empty handed. Originally my stencil thickness is 6 mils, samtec stressed the need for the paste and charge to have good contact but this is challenged by the inherent charge non-co

Well gasketing yes, have you dine enough analysis to blame aperture design- Maybe not? Maybe whip out the gerber files for this PCB&stencil and compare the details with one you feel works well. Is there something different about their layout rules o
