ya don't need no stinkin pads. just run sum fine gauge insulated jumpah wires from da I.C. legs (da ones with da missin pads) to da traces or where-ever dem traces end up. dat should get er dun !!!!

Hello, I am looking for inputs (experiential or opinions) concerning field reliability of high-frequency RF boards that have had a trace or pad repair (or both), any package type. If anyone can comment on this subject, I would appreciate it. We bu

Does anyone know of an IPC standard callout for testing traces and there connection to pads or vias of manufactured PCB's? I believe it should be on the Fab drawing. At this time we ask for the test on our P.O.'s. Test Voltage (XX)V Single Sides Te

No, none of us can tell you what is the acceptable level of halide content or contamination in flux residue. The level of harmful residues on your product helps determine the reliability of your product. We know nothing of your product, its custome

1 - Too messy, parts already come in nice easy to use machine compatible packaging, tapes, reels, tubes and trays. All you are doing is adding an extra step and complication. A key production aim is to reduce the number of steps. 2 - BGA - a chip wi

It's a terrible idea. Through holes should be drilled in the exact center of a pad +/-. Have the two holes go out back and settle this. Whichever hole returns, that hole get to keep the pad. The other hole needs to get its own pad. End of story. Th

All of the replies have merit. Here is another one. Because the cause of the tombstoning is wetting forces that are imbalanced, and one end wets faster or more readily than the other, the 0402 lifts up on that end easily because of its low mass. Incr
