Gee Dave That's the first time I've ever seen myself listed for a quote! Brian, what your saying is on the whole right, on the surface of it the mask, as long as it's cured properlay shouldn't make a difference but I have to say that I've found so f

IPC-A-600G, 2.9 Solder Resist [Solder Mask] [snip]"Solder resists are used to limit and control the application of solder to selected areas of the printed circuit board during assembly soldering operations and are sometimes used to reduce dendritic f

Have used stencils for low volume paste printing for 18 yrs. New job uses jet printing (MY500). But machine is limited to .33mm dot size. Parts used here have pad sizes that are .25mm or smaller, so paste touches between pads when printed. Thankfully

During processing, the solder in the vias reflows and forms solder balls. PCBs have solder in random PBGA vias from the board manufacturer.The manufacturer says this is a result of the HASL process and is unavoidable. We use HASL finish, multilayer,

Are you using a water based flux? Are the solder balls mainly around or near non-plated holes or near the edges of the PCB? If so the preheat must be set so the water content of the flux is fully evaporated before the board hits the solder wave. If

Craig, I'd be really hesitant in pursuing this method for a TQFP. Remember, most SMD's are rated for a maximum rising slope of around 4C/Sec. Immersing a fragile TQFP in a hot wave of molten solder will probably exceed this ramp up rate. Besides thi
