Electronics Forum: soldermask registration accurancy (Page 1 of 2)

Soldermask registration capability.

Electronics Forum | Wed May 19 10:35:37 EDT 1999 | Jeffrey L. Gumm

Trying to find a manufacturer with the capability to hold a registration tolerance of +/- .001" in LPISM. To be done on ceramic substrates, with a maximum panel size of 5.0" x 7.0".

Solder Paste Inspection

The must-do is to inspect for coverage and registration. How much bare pad and registration error you can tolerate is process and product dependant, but you can measure both fairly accurately with a reticle on a microscope. Developing measurement te

Pcb Drill Hole as Fiducial

Electronics Forum | Tue Feb 20 15:23:28 EST 2018 | dleeper

Proper fiducials are going to be more accurate than drill holes. Since drilling is a separate step in the PCB fab process, the registration to the PCB isn't as accurate as the copper etching process which forms the fiducials. In a pinch, it can be u

Soldermask Compensation

Electronics Forum | Tue Nov 13 22:40:02 EST 2012 | davef

I expect that suppliers can just about always hold solder mask registration within a true position of 3 thou. That's the old SMT padstack think ... make the solder mask openings extend 3 thou larger than the copper. That way, even if the copper and t

Fiducial recognition using laser

Electronics Forum | Sat Apr 03 19:58:53 EST 2004 | Ken

I have used tooling holes and fiucial registration since the late '80's. In fact if your maximum "vision" tolerance is +/- 0.05mm, your in the same ball-park as locating pins. It is true that fiducial registration is more accurate. However, I woul

flex circuits printing

Electronics Forum | Wed Sep 19 13:43:49 EDT 2001 | jschake

I cannot report having experience with 0201 printing applications on flex circuits. Generally, I would be concerned with handling of the flex substrate. A carefully designed vacuum capable custom tooling fixture would likely be required to ensure p

Which AOI method is best?

Electronics Forum | Thu May 10 13:58:26 EDT 2001 | tomgervascio

It sounds like 3D imaging is much better at fault detection for partially visible leads like SOJ packages. Can any of the 2D systems actually do a solderjoint inspection on the outer rows of BGAs or is the angle too acute to accurately look at these.

Silkscreen/Legend on Pad

Electronics Forum | Wed Dec 19 15:43:23 EST 2007 | cdsullivan

Hi, I was just wondering what the most common process is for silkscreen/legend removal and/or rework? Scenario: Fab house had a registration issue on some SOT-323 packages where the silkscreen encroached or was actually printed on the surface pads
