QFN or MLFs are mainstream now, QFNs already evloved to much more complex versions now like matrix pins, stacked dice and flipchip versions. IPC 610D already includes them, just make sure the pins have solder plating, the PWB pads have soldermask in

Emmanuel, The discussion on what finish to use whether it be HASL, Immersion gold over nickel, Organic Solderability Preservatives, ect...... is still ongoing. This is not the only decision you need to make. Do you plan on Soldermask Defined Pads? Wh

Netters, When I reflow a PCB there is a discoloration of silkscreen and mask. It appears if Profile is too hot! But I dont think so, maybe I'm wrong? 1. Kester 293 no clean 2. 2.1 C/s for 30s to 150 C 3. .5 - .7 C/s for 60s to 185 C 4. 1.5 C/s u

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

Leave a circular area around the fiducial without any mask so bare board is shown.

Earl, et al, Boy things get old and cold around here fast. I promised more detail on my capactior problem and I thought I could drop something completely different in the same message and tell a tale of solder balls. First the caps. We still have

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.
