We just subcontract assemble boards, but have our preferred PCB supplier. If an existing board manufacture is transferred to them they often recommend change/ improvements which we have to get authorised from our customers. Although the boards may wo

We can provide better suggestions to customers, but customers do not agree, we will make products according to the original design of the customer, otherwise it will cause disputes. There is also a case,we are not sure whether the customer design has

Very broad topic. Designers own design. Manufacturing engineers can suggest design changes based on DFM, DFX DFA analysis. These are suggested, so the board is manufacturable with very low to no rework. Both design and manufacturing have their expert

I am experiencing a "tarnishing" issue on PWB traces that may be causing problems with component reflow. The PWB traces are made to the following spec: SOLDER MASK OVER BARE COPPPER WITH SILVER IMMERSION PLATING PER IPC4553, PLATING TO BE 8-12 MIC

It doesn't matter if the traces have solder or not. We're talking thermal cycles. RE IAg thickness: I believe the IAg is a self limiting process, similar to IAu. Your fab may be able to help a little, but I don't expect a substantial change. And if

*You* may be well versed, but not every designer is experienced or even familiar with DFM. I don't care how sophisticated the circuitry is, if you can't build it it's a lousy design, and as an EMS we see many designs that shouldn't have passed the

Would increasing the thickness to compensate be a reasonable soulluction? This tarnishing is happening after the first time heat is applied. Could it be a factor of too long in ramp and/or soak?

Whose process is your fab using? Contact [MacDermid, Electrochemicals, In, whoever]

Absolutely not, and if they were able to make it better, than your design isn't sufficient to begin with. Designers design, manufacturers manufacture.

The problem is they said what we designed is not qualifyed for production and they have files called "DFM" which is used for the real production to fit with the production line
