Happened at my company lots on our older designs. We touched up those pads in house by hand, because the solder joint was very poor. We also did it on SOT 86 pkgs on the gnd pins. When they were touched up, we would get an extra 1/2dB of gain out

Graham STOP!!! You can not be totally serious. A five year old cost model counts bean, and beans are beans. I have to know more about the calculation. If this bores some of your gear-heads, click on "return." � Help me with the terms: - "Ops cos

Masdi, Try board shunts. They are hi-temp rubber strips with grooves cut. They can be popped on and off with ease and are much faster than taping and considerably cheaper. They also work great for masking goldfingers prior to wave soldering. Contac

Mike, When we measure solder inspection yield by dividing the number of defective joints on a CCA by the total number of joints on the PWB. A defective joint is classified only once. That is we don't count multiple defects on the same joint. Our
