| Hello Netters, | | I need some info, Earl or Dave, I have a PCB that exhibits a white layer on solder side. It does not appear to be surface residues (IPA has no effect), but looks like its under solder mask. My first guess is that the LPI solde

Mask Musings. Soldermask (SM) and its functions have changed and evolved over the years. As an ex-solder mask applicator, I can remember screening Colonial High Gloss Epoxy soldermask on boards back in the early 80's, ending up with a thickness that

0.0006" LT Total pad height = Thickness of ( Copper pad + OSP ) = 0.0014" + 0.00000157" = ~0.0014" (You must be using an organic solderability preservative (OSP) or Electroless Nickel immersion gold (ENIG) because 0.003" tin/lead or white tin would

Kurt: Lots of choices, not many of them good, yano. 1 So LPI has taken over the market pretty nearly 100%, but it won't "tent" reliably, because it is not very viscous when applied and drops into the hole. So then, tenting/plugging with LPI is bad

Okay, Another question, if the soldermask in not cured, then it is washed will water ingress (from wash or ambient ) play havoc with capacitance or dielectric of PCB. I mean will my crystal and clock circuits start "Y2K'n" on me. OR will my PCB go
