Yes, We have done away with masking with kapton 8 yrs ago. As long as the goldfingers are leading edge you can use one of these: 1. rubber goldfinger boot/glove - contact east use to carry them...don't know if they still do. 2. fiberglass glove - ma

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I run 2 boards, using the same paste, thermal profile and the same method of aqueous cleaning, 1st is a Topline test board with topline BGA (BGA 272 with 1.27 Pitch) and the 2nd is our product PCB with our BGA from Motoro

First as a nit, your �substrate� is probably NOT copper. It�s probably FR4 fiberglass/epoxy. Substrate. Base Material. A supporting insulating material upon which parts, components, and elements are attached. Second, enough of that, on to your i

We are printing on an assembly using SAC305 Alloy Sn96.5 Ag 3 Cu .5 with a no clean flux and getting virtually NO spread with either a ramp to spike or straight ramp profile. We are printing to standard FR4 board with immersion Ag finish. I am trying

Hi Frank, we're still going to go with FR4 as our prefered material. Our board thickness is .062. We use an on shore and off shore vendor. Prototron I believe offers an immersion tin and excellence in china? offers an immersion tin finish. We fou

This is the profile we came up with on a 1500 to satisfy the parameters suggested by Indium. This was on an FR4 1mm thick 4 layer pcb that I would descrbe as medium density, QFP, SOP, AL-CAP, TANTS, D-PAK, MINI SPRING COIL, SOT and CHIPS were all use

=130�C as per IPC-4104/21 What will happen if I expose the PWB Assembly with components to a temperature of between 135'C to 152'C, which is above Tg, for 1 hour? Will there be delamination or possible damage to my PWB? What about with the rests of

Hi Steve- We have a Glenbrook system and are pretty pleased with it....as far a value vs. cost it works great. I did have an issue with a Soic with a ground plane in the center...yes SOIC!!! The Ground plane was a heat sync that had vias for thermal

Guys, I posted a thread on this sublect a while back and I thought we had it sorted but we have the same issue again. One of the SMT operators has chapped skin,sores which sometimes cause cuts. This looks extremely uncomfortable. We thought it was

Yes, .062 fr4. Like I said before, we run a lot of gold boards, as many as 25% of what goes through the shop, and we've never adjusted anything before??? Many of these are bigger by 2 X and much more dense. Reflow is not as shiny as HASL but always u
