Yes, a polite complaint to our board shop later and the next batch didn't have that problem at least. I'm not convinced it's an ENIG issue as there was variability panel to panel in the first place.

Hi, From a Manufactures choice - Green is the best due to it is the most commonly used mask color in the industry & cheapest. Kind a like Red paint for Barns. For US shops, most only have one LPI machine and to continually switch from Green to othe

Tin/Lead we have had no problem in masking off areas on a pcb during wave soldering. Lead Free alloys, Nickel Silver Copper would there be any compatability issues with a Peelable latex solder mask containing Ammonia. Really hot need to know.

The only thing ammonia can do is tarnish copper and make it more difficult to solder. And the higher temp in lead-free will discolor the latex (giving it a sticky surface), but the functionality of the mask will be intact. There should be greater co

You know Pat, I should just call you directly rather than post this stuff. You always have an answer. You must have been around awhile huh? :)

Go for it!!! You were unspecific, but adding mask to a completed board could cause: * Increased paste thickness, if you have double thickness of solder mask. * Wrinkled and lifted solder mask under the component, if the solderability protection of

It's the same like asking wether you get a gold-contaminated solder pot when soldering ENIG boards. As long as the replenishment of dross is large compared to the intake of contaminant, the contamination level will stay within acceptable levels.

Howdy Amol, As far as I can see, there aren't too many pitfalls with SN100C. Just make sure to keep all of your alloys seperated. The issues that I am working out right now is the profiles with our wave pallets and some of our larger components. We

At the risk of painting with too broad a brush: QEs are like seagulls: fly in, make lots of noise, crap all over things, then fly away. Back to the knob turning vs. analysis debate. Part of it may be different industries. We're in the high reliab

Hi, I see a huge solder mask shift on chip comp pads. This would result in mid-chip solder balls or solder beads. Overall, the solder mask workmanship is not acceptable. Mask is on pad.
