Mir is getting set-up to do a 10 point full gainer with a twist into the Pacific Ocean sometime in Febuary. So, this is your last chance to check it out in the night skies. As they say as you exit the plane ... bahbeye

Is it board specific? If so I used a piece of sheet metal between the board and the heaters to correct a similar issues, where a ground plane was absorbing the heat.

Did you try preheating the board then hand solder? Those little heat shrink guns work great for this.

Does the thermal conductivity of a copper trace on a printed circuit board change as the copper oxidizes? Is the oxide on copper a thermal insulator? If so, should it be considered in an analysis of thermal resitivity between a ground plane and a h

Marlies, The IPC definition, which I think we can trust, says that Coplanarity is defined as lying or acting in the same plane. In other words Coplanarity means no bent legs, pins. Regards, Chris.

Coplanarity also takes into consideration which is your reference plane. In the case of connectors, you can consider coplanarity between the highest and the lowest lead. Also, you can consider all the connector leads with reference to the connector

Can�t help you with the article that you read. Other places to start are: * 2221, 7.2 Heat Dissipation Considerations, 7.3 Heat Transfer Techniques, and 8.1.10 Heat Dissipation * 2222, 9.1.2 Thermal Relief In Conductor Planes

Yannick, If we leave the 201 issue aside; have you checked where those BGA pads are connected to? Could those be power/ground balls connected to large (difficult to heat up) planes by any chance? Erhan

Designers love to do BIG copper pours for several reasons: * Maximize heat spreading. * Increase EMI shielding. * Laziness. The poor folk that solder the parts on boards HATE big copper planes near solder pads. During soldering, fat copper traces [

Is it possible to achieve a 100% top-side solder fillet where pin 1 on the device is attached to a ground plane ? we've optimised the wavesoldering and fluxing operations, but without much success on that pin, every other pin is fine. Any advice woul
