I wonder if anyone has experience with electrodeposited photoresist, namely PEPR 2400. I have had some problems working with it. If I do not use thickness controller PEPR 2400 TC (active component 2-Octanone), film tends to be thick. I fI use it, fil

To prevent BGA (Ball Grid Array) issues related to SMT (Surface Mount Technology) solder resist when fabricating a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), you can follow these guidelines: Design considerations: Ensure proper spacing between BGA pads

There is neither �nominal thickness� nor �is there a set maximum� for via masking. We use some of our vias as test pads. So, as you�d expect, we get rabid when we get mask bleed onto these pads. IPC-6012 - Qualification & Performance For Rigid Pri

Yes, Russ IPC-6012A w A#1 - Qualification & Performance For Rigid Printed Boards talks to solder mask requirements in 3.8. One interpretation of what it says: * Solder resist [solder mask] must meet the qualification / conformance requirements of S

| I am looking to find a formula to calculate the resistance of circuit traces based on width | The old MIL-STD-275 became IPC-STD-275 became IPC-2221/2222. Anyway, they had/have simple graphic representations converting AWG standards into equivalen

I have dealt with it before and usually it's consistent, so you use some simple math to work around the issues. Now, if you have so much variability between different locations on your board for resist thickness, HASL thickness, etc., that it fouls

Hello, We are using a PCB with thickness 3.2mm 4 layer and lot of through hole via's of diameter 0.4mm. We specified our PCB vendor to do plugging. Now we have big problems, that after 1..4 weeks we measure a low resistance between track's/via's of

Board vendors are always right. Unless you build yourself in their facility, at their price. Ways around this are half etch your stencil over the vias, open the resist (mask) on the vias, or use your own product (Sipad). The resist (mask) does app

Q1. Is this a standard process for plugging? A1. Not as such. We checked both IPC-6012 and IPC-SM-840. Neither comments on plugging. So, your fabrication notes rule the day. Q2. Is this okay for such thick PCB's or is it mandatory to use a special pl
