I have tried covering the vias with thermal tape and that did not work. I like the idea of plugging the via with a temporary solder mask. I will try that the next time I build a fixture which should be tomorrow. This is mainly a problem only becau

I have to build test fixtures for RF Power transistors. These components generate alot of heat so the PCB is soldered to a baseplate. The problem I am having is that I am getting too much solder flowing thru the via's and flooding the topside of th

Just to update. I tried using the temporary solder mask again and it worked great. I guess the first time I did not let the mask to cure long enough. Also, I inquired about have the via's plugged with SR1000 in the future and I was told by our PCB

Plugging the holes with temporary solder mask helped some, but once the solder starts to reflow, the fumes from the flux pushed the solder mask out. What I ended up doing in addition to using the temporary solder mask was covering the areas of pcb w

Thank you for the answers to my questions. We are running two-lead LED insertions. Most of our PCBs are square between 9" and 14.25" in a 16 x 16 array, so pitch ranges from 0.52" to 0.90". Further complications are that most of the boards have th

Without seeing a picture, my first instinct would be first and foremost some fixturing that provides full support for your print process. After that, since you are citing bow and twist, consider that the fixturing might as well travel through the ov

Anyone work with or have knowledge about metal core/clad boards? The board I'm working with is approximately 2" X 3/4" aluminum core pcb, in a 56 up array. There are 3 LED placements per board. I'm having trouble getting a consistent screen print.

if you can't change the PCB materials or design at this point, you might be able to reduce it somewhat through the use of fixtures or edge stiffeners. Unless it is a particularly thick board, I don't think the reflow profile would be the issue. The t

Bruce I�m with yall. Designers and fabricators say �pins�. You say: * BGA pins are 1mm [0.039�] pitch. * BGA pads are 0.4mm [0.0157�] diameter. * BGA pins are 0.6 mm [0.024�] side-to-side. * Board thickness is ~0.4 mm [0.015�] First, as you can

We are designing the SM fixture for small PCB, does anybody know where we can get the spring holder which can hold the PCB to the fixture? Who is the manufacture for this part? Thanks in advance. Stephen
