The color variation in the solder mask from our PCB supplier varies to the point that we have problems with our AOI recognition and accuracy. We have not been successful at finding an industry spec which outlines solder mask color requirements. We

We used it only for operator verification of placement accuracy, your boardhouse should be able to show you examples of what they look like. They basically outline the outside edge (corner)of the part so you have a visual, after placement (since you

| Hi, Friends, | Could you please recommend me some solder mask materials and equitements for high quality solder mask? Details such as company name, phone numer et al are welcomed. Thanks! | Have a good day | Xingsheng Xingsheng: Consider the follo

From the picture, I cannot see clearly solder ball violate electrical clearance or cause a short, maybe it is. What I can see is the solder paste has some misalignment although it doesn't printed in solder mask area, but actual position will reduce

Hi Simon, The main reason that it would probably be removed would be do to lack of clearance for a soldermask dam from pad to pad. typically if the clearance from pad to pad is under .008 the solder mask dam would be removed. Min recomended dam siz

Pad. Land. A portion of a conductive pattern used as a termination area. Metal surrounding a hole on a printed circuit board. Mask. A material applied to allow selective etching, plating, or protection of the surface of a printed circuit board.

This could be what we call a "non-problem". If your print is off slightly, yet after reflow there is no solder related defects, it should be considered OK. Move your inspector from the printer to right after the oven. This would enable them to ins

Has anyone had (successful) experience placing testpoint vias under BGAs? We already have conventional vias, but we're contemplating converting them into testpoints (probably by enlarging the bottom-side copper diameter to .036" and opening the bott

I'm having problems with Quad QSP-2 pick n place machines recognizing fiducials. We are cleaning the fiducials, but that's tedious and time consuming ( I don't know anyone who routinely cleans them). We have solder mask clearance around the fiducials

Tough to say. It depends on the type of solder mask, the producer of the solder mask, and your board fabricators' process. As one angle on this, solder mask type affects thickness. Minimum clearance: * Liquid photoimageable: 2 thou * Screened liq
