Paul, I would do two things, eval whole lot for any etching issues as shown above and scrap and two I would have your copper thickness checked, my guess your copper plating will be low. Check plating thickness in Via holes - if less then 8/10th's r

This is more a cosmetic issue than anything else. Is this production or an RMA? If it's an RMA, did the customer send it in like this or was it damaged at your facility. If the customer sent it in, I would make an attempt to fix it. I have used s

One of our PCB for high reliability application is having 2 BGAs(11X11, ADV 204), The pitch is 1 mm. We decided to wire the BGAs first using re-flow soldering and the rest of the components by hand soldering. Since the PCBs are for high reliability a

Thanks everyone for all the input. All of our stencils do have the PCB # etched on the foil but when operators look for the stencils they are looking for the part # on the frame since they are all stored vertically in a couple of Remstar shuttles and

Thanks Darby, I got the point of what you are saying. Never the less, I still don't like when a pcb manufactor change the leads/threads on the pcb whitout mention this to us. In such a critical case! There should always be a close relationship betwee

Ken, The technology you are referring to is also known as return-to-web. This panelization method involves a hard tooled perimeter die and a press equipped with an air cushion. The PCB circuit is punched out and then inserted or "pushed" back into
