Hello all, One of our PCB manufacturers coated a through hole connecters vias with solder mask. The only IPC references that comes close to describing this problem is 2.9.2 Registration to holes, and subsequent specification 6.3.1 PTH � Vertical fil

I am four weeks into my new job, there always seems to be some issues here with PCB every week. Today while I was checking some assemblies with micro-scope, I found a lot of tiny bubbles/blisters on the board. They are just little dots if you look

Dave, I�m talking about the 75% vertical fill of solder IPC 6.3 criteria (B), and 6.3.1 Fig 6-5. I also referred to the annular ring of the Plated-Through-Hole, being coated with solder mask. Semantics, yes I did refer to the Plated-Through-Hole (Sup

You looked one page to far in the IPC book! Fillet height of 75% is acceptable for all 3 classes. Per IPC 610 rev. C Section 6 table 6.2. A. Circumferential wetting on Primary side (top)between lead and barrel (not anualar ring) Class 1 Not spe

I�m not clear on the problem. What I get: * Your fabricator did not deliver the product that you asked for in your purchase order. * Pad. Land. A portion of a conductive pattern used as a termination area. Metal surrounding a hole on a printed ci

I am having cleaning problems when processing PCB's which have TAIYO solder mask on them. After processing, hand soldering and cleaning, a sticky residue is remains, resulting in a cosmetically poor finish with tide marks etc. Other soldermasks do no

Dear members, Recently we have found that solder mask thickness variation could lead to solder balling under QFN packages for a high reliability device. Is there any industry proven method for solder mask thickness checking? Any equipment or any me

Questions are: * Do these boards meet IPC-A-600? * What does your supplier say is the source of this color variation? * What steps is your supplier taking to make the boards more acceptable?

Thanks Dave, and yes we can leave the solder there in this instance. These panels, 12up, are NCMR from the customer. The customer is saying that after the panels have been reflowed 5 times! solder starts to accumulate under the mask. Get this, My sen
