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

| | | 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 t

| | Thanks Steve- | Here is the whole story: | | The solder balls are appearing all over, similar to a | splatter. They are relatively small. We are using H-Technologies | S-HQ no-clean solder paste. The stencil is 6 mil and the boards | are ru

Thanx Dave/Hussman.. We normally store our solder paste in the refrigerator at 0-10 Deg C as per what the supplier recommanded. Our floor temperature is controlled at 22 +/- 5 Deg C and Humidity is at 55 +/- 5%. Recently we have customer asking fo

We have one product with electroless nickel, immersion silver solderability protection. We do not purport to be experts, but like many things, have seemingly boundless opinions. Side note: There are a least three different [maybe five] imm silver

Thanks for your replies guys, there's some good info there. Dave, answers to your questions: The stencil was initially a big problem as with the Egineering Model's (EM's) and Engineering Qualifing model (EQM's) we kept getting short circuits due to

I want to say one more thing on this; many times RoHS is compared to the CFC elimination. But there is a huge difference between the two for following reasons: In late 80�s scientific evidence became available that CFC�s contributed greatly to the o
