If you want to check if solder mask on tented via, better to do cross section to have a clear view. Sometime supplier will not tell you the truth once you ask question for potential quality issue.

We have some circuit boards where the solder mask seems clear instead of green on top of some of the tented via pads. No gold deposited during the ENiG process and no solder sticks to it but why is it clear and does it have any correlation to the thi

I'd guess ... + Pads have no solder mask, clear or otherwise. + Pads won't take solder, because you're trying to solder to nickel. + Nickel on the pads is oxidized and is sticking out its tongue at the flux you're using. + Something went south

Hi A, Your subject is black solder, but you decrribe the solder as dull? Dull solder joints could be dross related, or even flux related. Are there any other related defects? But "dull metal sufaces" makes me thing this board was subjected to so

that question I think I will punt it on over to some of the experts here. I really do not the "why". voids for me have always been related to the escape (lack of) of the "stuff" that is in the paste. I have seen diff pastes perform differently rel

Do anyone know what is TCP. I was told it is tape carrier package but have found nothing relating to this. Could someone please explain the whole tecnology and point to site relating to this so that i can understand more on this.

Hi all, Could someone suggest a web site that contains good representations and pictures of SMT solder related defects?? I need to compare these with some pictures I'm using for a project presentation this week. Thanks, D.

Hi Guys, Sorry for asking stupid questions. Are SPC, PPM and DPMO related to each other? Do they affect each other then? What is their inter relations? Can someone explain to me what are their purposes? thanks

Stencil thickness is related to PCB design and is not related to paste type. If you release with a 8 mil stencil then use an 8 mil stencil. Of course there are pastes that release bteer than other and what not but use area and aspect ratios to dete

I have never related Solder mask layout to Black Pad. I don't see how they could be related but.......
