David F. thanks for information about the copper plating issues, I will check out the Indium site as you suggest. You are right about Thermount being Unreworkable, but T.I. makes us do it due to the cost of these RF proto types, $250 each bard board.

I am four weeks into my new job, there always seems to be some issues here with PCB every week. Today while I was checking some assemblies with micro-scope, I found a lot of tiny bubbles/blisters on the board. They are just little dots if you look

Hello All, Can somebody direct me to a facility or school or even a business that can offer an x-ray course for Class 3 electronic circuit board population interpretation, as in BGA ball acceptance, connector solderability fill acceptance etc.? Some

One of our customers' products has a couple of adjacent 0603 packages (one resistor, one cap) that are .010" apart. They are side by side, not end to end. The adjacent pads between the two parts are electrically connected so bridging isn't an issu

I need advices as to how a gap between the bottom of an LED (1209-package) and the PCB can be controlled on a small rigid-flex PCBA? The problem that we experience is due to tight tolerance in the design of our molded housing in which this PCBA is as

Hi, The distance between the two terminations/endings/pads of 0603 (0201)is 0.15mm i.e. lesser than than the distance between the 0603 and through hole i.e. 0.5mm My ques is that, then why its termination doesnot short as it has a minimum distance.A

Hi All, Recently, we encountered strange defect at our SMT line. We can see solder ball spatter around at one of the component pad. This lead to insufficient solder defect at 1 side of the component. The other side of the component look good(Meet

Can A Company or Electronic Manufacturing Company go for AS9100 certification if the Quality Policy states that we only meet IPC Class 2 Standard? I'm just very confused for I know AS9100 is an Aerospace Quality System and must meet IPC Class 3. thi

Every paper I've seen published shows that BGA voids either have no effect or actually give a slight improvement. The one exception are voids with a root cause in bad incoming boards, such as champagne voiding where nearly the entire interface is go

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
