Are there any good solutions for getting good barrel fill on PTH boards using Pb Free solder and No Clean flux. All of our boards are having issues getting minimum required fill per IPC. It does not matter if the board is 062 or thicker, any pin conn

I have done a few studies on this issue here. As a result we have increased hole diameter on heavily ground planed pins to a min of .015" over the lead diameter as well as preheating the PCB when hand soldering. I have also had to order the upper pre

Layer 2 is the ground plane layer of a 4 layer board. After installing a 2.5 mm DC power jack and 0.1 center SIP header by hand, the ground pin disconnects and causes an open. My board supplier said they passed Electrical Test. Prepreg was within

Hi Deni, X-ray will not be able to see through Power and Grn planes. Your only way to find out is: 1) ask your board supplier to supply stack up used. 2) surface grind layer by layer to validate if it is correct stack up. What is making you think

We have many Pillarhouse Jade Mark II's in our facility. Lately design engineers have taken a liking of huge ground planes in boards. Quite honestly with topside heaters some of these boards were impossible to solder. True you can preheat with the no

You also need to get with the PCB manufacturer. Their is a lot that can go wrong with that many layers. If the manufacture is trapping that much moisture. you may have a hard time baking it out. Dave and Graham are right about the time and energy. It

I agree with both previous statements. You may have already sorted this one out, but regardless of whether you are running leaded or lead free, the first things I would look at is sufficient flux and sufficient heat/dwell time. It sounds like you a

in our opinion unless the Nikon machine has a solution to the Xplane ability to use Tomosynthesis there is a huge difference in the 2 machines. Xplane is a huge quality enabler and we have people beating our door down to get us to look at their perce

And there is always the argument of "get in and out quick", which is possible with high tip temps. I prefer to use a really hot iron, and do it quickly, rather than a lower temps and keep the tipi on the bit till it melts the solder. If you have a P

Hi All Respected Engineers, Now a days am testing a high speed 20 layer PCB but currently the issue am facing that most of signals give KOhm or Mohm resistance with respect to GROUND as it should be infinity.We have around 7 GND planes in our PCB s
