the implication being the soldermask is too thick, raising the top of the board higher than the pads themselves (eliminating gasketing)? Essentially, the board isn't perfectly planar would be the subject of cause it sounds like?

Solder mask thickness specifications by fabricators are: * Wet mask: 0.0002 ~ 0.0004� on trace * LPI mask: 0.0002 ~ 0.0008� on trace Liquids usually range between 10 to 13 um (0.00039 to 0.00051") when dried. Liquid resist processes I have seen are

We are getting more and more customers wanting LED boards built on White Solder Mask. Well our printers do not get as much contrast between the white mask and the plated fiducial pad, and often the camera only sees white. Other than playing with

You don't say what kind of printers you are running, but if you had multiple light sources and independent control of direct an oblique lighting (either manual and software controlled) usually pretty "do-able". I have customer doing almost exclusivel

Hi, I work for Nortel and here rework BGA'S we use DRS22 rework station and CRT 2000 X-ray inspection. The main problem is put again the BGA on the PCB because you need reboling the PCB and you could damage the soldermask. Talking about Air-vac is ve

Hello, I have just installed the demo version of GC-Powerplace. Could anyone here walk me through the process to generate pick and place file from gerbers? I don't have solderpaste layer. All I have got is signal layers (top/bottom), soldermask, sil

Some people involved in PCB assembly process claim that SMD components reflow soldering problems are often caused by traces running under a component. According to this claim, trace (or any copper) covered by solder mask and placed under SMD componen
