Emmanuel: You have choices to prevent the solder paste from flowing to the second side during reflow: 1 Have your board fabricator plug the vias. 2 Put a temporary solder mask on the secondary side vias. 3 Have your designer relay-out the vias unde

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

The size of the pad changes among the two. A solder mask defined pad will always be larger than a copper defined by your mask expansion setting. This will affect paste volume, if your standard paste aperture is designed for copper defined pads you m

Dave F, We are currently using a latex based ambient/thermal cure material that is applied by hand or automated dispensing equipment. Printing is an option for us, but we have not had much luck with this particular material. The mask is peeled off a

I have 15 very large backplanes (.156" thick Au plating) that the ground pins of a high density thru-hole connector were not thermal relieved in the artwork. As a result we are unable to solder the 8 pins that connect to the ground plane. We know t

Eric: I�ll pass on the uV and ammonia, also. Thoughts are: 1 You�re correct that the temperature/humidity mix can be a big driver to latex peelable solder mask cure time, but don�t overlook material thickness. Dispensers put material in a very th
