The product editor complains if I have a part that overhangs the edge of the board. Any hints on how to fix this? Set the "board" size bigger than the actual board and the use an offset to make it in the right place? Or is there a better way to say t

Dose anybody know of a method of preventing board sag in the wave process. We have a 2 year old Deltawave. The product we are running is a one sided 10in x 12in panel of 6 PCB's. Pin headers and connectors are near all of the edges. Our current board

We have mid-90's GSM's and we have had to trick the machine in some cases like this by making some of the rail area into board area.

There are a couple of things that you can do. First thing to do is take a flashlight and shine it in the card edge connector of slot 2 and see if a passive component or any other part worked its way into that slot. This will cause multiple leads in

Square-leaded pin headers will typically bridge at the trailing edge (last couple of leads), since during peel-back, the solder at the trailing edge has "nowhere to go". If you have control over designs, ask your designers if they can put solder thi

For soldered areas, we like to keep gold thickness substantially below the maximum you propose. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for our discussions on the topic of acceptable levels of gold with solder connections. Let�s fix this �no one seems be s

First, �flash gold� is very loose language. It means different things to different people. �Flash� gold is a thin coat of immersion gold. Imm gold self-limits at ~0.3um[12uin]. And fabs put-down �flash� prior to electroplating thicker gold for wi

Assuming you are talking about solderable surfaces: People specify various materials to protect the solderability of the pads on the board. Gold, actually, Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold [ENIG], is popular. * Board fabricators like it because

Question; Do you think it's possible that your customer has got his units mixed up & actually means 0.3 micro inches of gold over 0.5 micro inches of Nickel? That is what I said but their vendor says they are building to print which says 80 uM and i
