I want to make a double-sided PCB. the process include conductive filling via for RF guarding. Does anyone can tell me where I can do it?

We have done some work with conductive adhesives. The main lesson is: They do not adhere well to solder. * For components, a silver-palladium or gold end termination is recommended. * For substrates, gold over nickel should work well.

| Does anyone know where to get conductive coatings you can spray/paint/bake on hard surfaces? I would like tha actual manufacturer not a coating service company. | I used products from Acheson Colloids with good results for many years. Phone 800-2

Sand is not a great conductor, compared to copper. Never heard of using the stuff on RF boards. Our board fabricator uses Dupont CP100, now CP101, [or something like that cuse who's going to check?] when plugging via on cheap boards. Your board fa

Hi Rob, I had tried printig anisotropic conductive adhesive as a replacement for solder paste. Following were my finding. Adv: - curing temp is around 120-150C as compared to 217C (Pb-free) solder. - good electrical conductivity, since it is usual

Rob: Why aren't the board houses over there going to lead-free HASL [not that HASL is the most wonderful thing on the planet]? What's the price delta on an unit basis for a x-HASL, now imm Ag board? Anyhow back to the point, so, you're proposing t

Hi Indy, Thanks very much for the info - very helpful. Was there any particular adhesive that stood out? Cheers, Rob.

You'll be able to tell pretty soon if this will work. * Our bet is the epoxy will corrode the silver. * Another concern is that you're not fusing the silver to the copper. Why not ask the imm silver suppliers: * Alpha Level Silver [ http://www.al

Hi Dave, Thanks for the info, it will be helpful. Planning on trying it on a number of finishes, and have arranged for some samples of the adhesive - Loctite 3880 to start with. Have discovered something important already though - why not many peo
