| Hello! SMT professionals, | | I do not know if anyone posted this question before. | Last week, I reflowed our newly designed thin Rigid-Flex pcb with 0.040" thickness. I found all of pins of a TQFP48 ic did not get wetted. I could see on the hee

| Read an earlier thread about using glass slugs to determine placement CPk. Can it actually be done this way? What's the procedure? Be interesting to know 'cause if it's feasible, I'd probably get myself a kit. None of us here are stat's experts

| We are using .040" diameter fiducials (global and local) on our boards. They are solder covered and HASL. I get batches of boards where the p&p vision system has trouble reading the fiducial. The fiducial looks dark on the screen. The board ven

| | | Anyone ever attach gold bump flip chip to FR4 or Alumina substrates. Am trying to find a solder which is acceptable for use on gold. Am worried about gold imbrittlement since the gold bumps on the flip chip are .004"x.004"x.001" solid gold. T

| We have some PCB�s in our warehouse in Manaus - Brazil. They are stored for more than 2 years , in a condition of 25 degrees centigrades and a humidity ranging from 60% to 90%. | Do these conditions cause the PCB�s to deteriorate over time? If so ,

| Has anyone had experience with placing BGA on gold plated boards. I thought I read a while ago there was a problem with embrittlment causing cracked joints. If anyone has experience with this your feedback would be great. | Mike Mike, Your concer

I have seen several Imm Ag pad on the assembled board which have a copper colorleaching through the silver plating This happened on the pad which was not deposited with paste during the assembly process. Don't know if it is a problem, but we only

Yes, providing the surface of the via is solderable. * If so, how much paste? => Vias come in various sizes. Boards vary in thickness. So, the amount of paste to fill a via varies. Roughly, you�ll need twice as much paste as the volume of the via

Okay, here goes another thread about gold plating. I have been using gold plated PCB's for about two years now, with mostly very good results. The main reason I started using gold in the first place was because it is flat, solder wets to it nicely,
