Tough to say. It depends on the type of solder mask, the producer of the solder mask, and your board fabricators' process. As one angle on this, solder mask type affects thickness. Minimum clearance: * Liquid photoimageable: 2 thou * Screened liq

Hi All. We are a tiny startup company developing an IC in a flip-chip CSP package. We find ourselves in need of being able to remove and replace (ie rework) our chip on a characterization board. The board will not be big and the chip is very small

| | We process both tin/lead plated boards and gold plated boards in our surface mount group. I have used Sn62/Pb36/Ag2 solder paste on all gold plated boards to help prevent gold scavaging. To reduce the amount of different solder pastes we have t

there is an IPC standard for machine accuracy and repeatability. Here it is how it works. You have to place certain number of parts on a specially designed PCB(that allows placing variety of parts on big part of the machine work area). After that you

You're correct, uV costs 1.7X solvent-based silicone. This high purchased material cost is counter balanced by uV requiring lower thickness due to higher solids and that 60 to 80% of a solvent coating is volitile and goes up the pipe between applicat

We took our top 25 usage components on our top 10 production models and changed to 13"reels (8mm tape only). When we had 20 parts per we put 2x13" reels on when we had 30 parts per we put 3x13". On those particular products we went from changing up t

Sal, I kind of assume you have paste there to start with... Because sometimes the edge components do not have paste applied caused by the bottom support in the screen printer etc. And if that is the case for one direction, the other direction applie

Hello Mark, EPA Certification can be a tremendous help to the user that is evaluating new cleaning processes. Let�s face it, if it wasn�t for the Earth�s ozone layer, everyone would still be using CFCs and a vapor degreaser to clean stencils, PCBs

See, now you know how you got the job!!! ;-) Assuming you mean solder mask, that stuff is designed to be tough to remove. It�s an epoxy meant to protect the board features from the ravages of board fabrication and everyday life. Your choices are:
