This is a question regarding soldermask between pins of fine pitch devices. The majority of our production designs end up with at least 2-3 mils of copper thickness on the external layers due to blind vias, wrap plating requirements, etc. Our curre

Fabs can produce a solder mask web between 20 pitch leads, but I've never seen a web for 16 pitch leads. Although, I would like know a supplier that can lay-down a fine web. Minimum solder mask web width is about 0.004 thou. An absolute mininum o

We wouldn't advocate extending the soldermask beyond the component body but yes to ganging for fine pitch. To ensure we don't run into issues with flaking our preference is not to add solder mask when the space between pins is less than 6 mil.

hai, we r using type 4 solder paste in our pcb assembly process - we are now facing the following problem. 1. two component pads soldering was seemed uncoalesced soldered joint except all the other components. 2. what will be the problem & solution f

Am glad we got that straight There is a big difference between the �real world� and the �ideal world�.

1.The Temperature on the pad is 247.C & also it is an lead free profile, the same profile we have used till last lot but we had obsereved this problem earlier to this current batch. 2. Both in Type3 & Type 4 paste we are using because of we are using

Paste stored tip down, so separation in the tube is not suspect. Remember that the defect was produced on a screen printer running with a Rheopump. A few more details are that the strip of the board containing the uncoalesced solder is consistent w
