OK, OK. 672 ball BGA. The pcbs are PC Card bus size and are .015 thick. There are 3 on a panel with about 1/2" between and rails. The aluminum plates are about 3" by 7". There are 3 cutouts which allow for the parts from either side to protrude du

In his book titled "Manufacturing Techniques for Surface Mount Assemblies" author R.J. Klein Wassink describes the relationship between solder land dimensions, component lead coplanarity, board warpage, solder volumes, and solder paste flux wetting b

Well it depends on what kind of oven you have. If you have a short oven, you are going to have a difficult time. You will probably end up having several different profiles if that is the case. We have 3 BTU TRS 212 furnaces. They are fairly long 8 zo

Juan There are many things that cause this and the first thing I would do is request quality records from your board fab facility on that particular lot. If they are unwilling to give them to you this is a good sign they had a processing problem. Th

Immersion plating appears like electroless, sorta, but is different chemically. Plating is converting metal ions in solution to metal on the board. Those metal ions are "converted" by adding electrons to them. The source of these electrons defines

The mount plane is not the same every time. Our machines are conveyorized and the bottom rail is fixed so the mount plane does change with the board thickness. The stand alone table has a V notch for holding the board with the flat edge on the bottom

CMI International says, there are five basic, non-destructive methods of determining coating thickness. Each method was devised to achieve cost-effective, accurate, and repeatable results. Those methods are: * X-Ray fluorescence * Eddy-current * M

What you are most likely dealing with: Insufficient Pure Sn layer ( multiple causes ) Because elevated temperatures accelerate the diffusion process, the thickness of the Pure Sn layer will reduce during every thermal cycle... ( bakeing PCBs, S

Tricky question. 1. If you are using fiducials on the snap-off areas then try and have the tab adjacent to these. 2. In many instances your tab locations will be determined by the case in which you are fitting the PCB. You don't want to be filing dow
