Please give us background on your situation, so that we can focus on the specifics, for instance: * This is a bare board problem, correct? Then, this contamination causes what the problems in your process? * What is the type [ie, FR4, CEM1, etc] of

Comments are: * Use an eraser if the surface of Au is not clean, but make sure the eraser has no/low ionics (such as sulfur that is a common additive for rubber). * If the plating surface required eraser to remove the top surface, the plasma normally

Stop the lines...! Stop building defects and rework into your product. Contact Fab Supplier and have pipeline filled for small amount of replacement fabs to keep lines running and limiting production scheduling and impact. Request to have the board

yea - yippie- Scott's the man!!!! good answer - I support the notion that in the long run, stopping the line, getting the root cause determination, is not only effective but efficient. It is hard to do because we all are so used to fire fighting on

Thank you ur reply Dave. Let me explain our COB workflow: 1. unpack PCB (FR4,LPI,HASL)(the thickness of gold and nickel we can't be find)(No SMT before) 2. clean the pcb by rubber 3. blow the pcb by di-ionic gun 4. attach die by adhesive gel 5. cure

I'm not saying that an eraser will necessarily work. What I'm saying is that some erasers may cause more trouble than the eliminate. Look here http://aic.stanford.edu/jaic/articles/jaic28-02-003_2.html We prefer a brand called Ruby Red. The "ole

We are having a discolorization problem with the gold fingers on our PCB's. I have been made aware that there is a gold touch-up paint (masking) that is available. Would anyone know where I can get my hands on some of it? Any help would be appreci

We have some circuit boards with some burnishing on the gold fingers from beveling. Does not go through the gold but is cosmetically noticeable. Is this a defect? Is it rejectable or cosmetic? Can someone tell me where the IPC deals with this? I ha

guys, Currently running a very high volume product, with the gold fingers at the edge of the board masked off using Kapton tape to avoid any form of contamination during reflow and wavesoldering. I've heard alot of about the gold finger gloves, my q

I'm honestly not sure IPC addresses this? the one thing i would ask myself if it were my issue: is the effected area in the critical contact area of the finger/contact? in other words if its low on the finger where the bevel was applied i bet its not
