during the failure analysis, how to etch the tin,nickle,and copper?

We generally etch the copper back slightly using a 50/50 mix of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and laboratory grade Ammonium Hydroxide. Swab for about 5 seconds, then rinse. and etch the tin in the solder to further delineate the intermetallic layer that shou

I am currently building a home PCB etching tank based on the ammonia/ammonium sulfate chemistry. The etching system consists of a etching tank, and an electrolytic copper recovery tank. The result is a infinitely replenishable etching system without

You should look in to this document: IPC/JEDEC-9704A Printed Circuit Assembly Strain Gage Test Guideline Regards

I always made tests with gauges on top or bottom surface of the PCB, before, during and after the process that we wanted to check. But I never tried to do it on internal layers of PCB. Don't know if that is possible. Regards

Tmo, Thanks for your reply. It gives good advise about how to perform tests. The type of strain gauges that I want to design are inside the PCB at various layers and I want to read the data during the press step. Do you know if these prefabricated

Interesting. How did you connect the gauges in the press? Our press only has connections for thermocouples. But in essence, it's only a wire and an electical output. If you placed these prefabricated gauges on top and on the bottom surface, weren't

Hello all! For my mechanical engineering study I want to etch a strain gauge in the Wheatstone bridge configuration in a copper layer of an PCB. The goal is to measure the strain occurring in an PCB even during the press process! We can measure with

I hate to say this but in all probability this wont work. I have built real strain gages and they depend on the change(Co-effiecent) of resistence with strain(or Stretch). since you are connecting you elements up with copper wire it will frm part of

Damn near impossible. You need to see a real change in the difference between the 2 elements you are reading. So to give yourself any hope run 2 long traces one top one bottom up the length of the board. Then compare to 2 wriggly traces at one end (o
