To restate my question of earlier, if I have a .020" sphere before reflow, and my pad opening in the dielectric is .017", is there a rule of thumb to calculate the height of the sphere after reflow? We are using 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag spheres. This should h

Brad, This is a common problem and may relate to the design of the board. In all cases when a device such as a capacitor is place near the edge of the board and the board must be de-panelled, the capacitor must be parallel to the break line. If the

Could anyone tell me the difference in PCB material Nelco13 and FR4? PCB dielectric material Nelco13 is quite new for me and I knew nothing about it. For imcoming quality control (IQC), I am asked to identify PCB made of FR4 and Nelco13. How to do th

Thx for the replies. Acutally I am doing a process related study to see whether the process (pcb depanelling)can induce crack to an MLCC. After depanelling, I will do a thermal shock on the MLCC based on IEC 384-1, that is, five cycles of 30min at hi

Capacitor working voltage One very important rating of capacitors is "working voltage". This is the maximum voltage at which the capacitor operates without leaking excessively or arcing through. This working voltage is expressed in terms of DC but th

Hi Mariss, "water soluable flux residue to somehow damage the X7R capacitors" I think you are looking into the wrong area. Yes flux is aggressive and can lead to problems, however it would not single out X7R capacitors above capacitors of other di

Also consider electroltyics as some brands can only cope with one pass through reflow, 2 max. In Vapor phase 1 pass max is typical. Although depends on makers specs and what they say the device can withstand. main issue is Dielectrics get damaged , c

Thanks, Dennis. That is a good idea, but I > have problem :) - our logistic department lookig > for cheap components...What other mnfg of cap you > use? Regards, The capacitor dielectric material might be something you could look at also. COG,

Rich Here's what Humiseal says: Thermal Properties The coating must be able to withstand localized thermal 'hot spots' generated by components. High temperatures can cause short-term changes in coating characteristics, such as softening and lowered e
