aspect ratio for massive components on the solder side of double-sided reflowed PCBs

Electronics Forum | Thu Oct 19 12:34:36 EDT 2000 | lwatson

I can't seem to find an article about the limiting mass of a SMT component on the solderside of a double-sided reflowed PCB. I'm pretty sure that Phil Zarrow did an article on this subject. It went something like the mass/land surface area?

If you're looking for PWB cleanliness , please consider one surface treatment other than HAL (i.e HRF-heat resist flux). HRF is a very inexpensive and effective process that your board manufacturer can provide you to meet your requirement. For gold

Try "Amicon D125 F". Good for both dispensing and screen printing. I like the yellow colour, it shows up better on green pcbs. Most smd adhesives are single part, heat cured epoxies, UV curing having gone out of fashion some years ago. Amicon used to

Right!!!! We have built product with via holes only 0.010" off the edge of the routed edge or even routed them in half, which usually adds cost and shorts to the chassis. Most high speed routing has a tolerance of +- 0.005". It's common for UL fi

I need to get an idea of the value of assembled surface mount boards shipped in various sectors such as consumer electronics, mobile phones, computers, automotive electronics etc. Another way would be the output from contract assemblers eg Solectron

Sounds 'on the money'. By gear up, I assume you use respirators. Wipe up any dust deposited on surfaces and dispose of the wipes as lead waste. Keep the cover firmly on the dross can when not in use. You've got it covered (pardon the pun). Do yo

BGA and PCB finishing

Electronics Forum | Tue Mar 14 05:02:35 EST 2000 | emmanuel

I am to implement PBGA, and i am looking for PCB surface finish informations. A lot of technical reports are specifing NiAu finishing because of flatness property. Because of leads shape, I though that BGA doesn't need flat pads like QFP. Is it false
