Hi Mark, Couterbore is possible in two way's during PCB Manufacturing. Couterbore plated and non-plated. Meaning that the entire hole will either have to be Plated or Non-Plated. Prefered Methode is Plated, to accomplish this your PCB house would

Chris, 1. You may want to check lead finish (plating). 2. Is there shadowing? 3. Is Pik-n-Place providing enough pressure to slighlty push part into paste? 4. Is this a new product? or existing? If existing has suppliers for parts changed? 5. Is

If solder touches gold, you should see solder, rather than gold. Since you see gold, something is wrong. * Is the solder touching the gold? If not, why not? * If the solder is touching the gold, but the gold is not soldering, there is a problem w

Hi, Does any body have the experience with wave soldering a "Gold" plated PCB with SMD assembled on it? I`m experiencing massive bridging,icicles,Shadowing & Skipping. The present soldering angle is 6 deg:,pre heating rate is 2 deg/sec , Dwell time

Xrays go through aluminum quite well. I've xrayed BGAs with heat sinks that were well over an inch tall and they only made faint shadows. What material is the bottom of the PCB? And how are you going to bond to it?

Thanks for the response guys! The parts are being sent to a local lab as we speak. I'll let you know the results when I get them. I am not sure the purpose of the copper band, but the black around the band is just shadowing from how I took the pi

| | | we have just started wave soldering passive SMT components and through hole. We are having trouble with voids on the SMT components. It is very random, but effects a lot of TSOT's. We are using an electrovert with a chip wave. Are there any

Dennis: Direct metalization is more of an European phenomena than a US one. Not to say that good things don�t come out of Europe. As background: Direct Metallization. In circuit board fabrication, an alternative to electroless plating makes the
