Hi Steve, the "framepiece" I mentioned may be misunderstanding but sometimes I don�t know the common english expression. What I meant is if the PCBs do not come in panels (now you mentioned 3-up panel)the PCB supplier could add additional material to

I am having some SMT assemblies undergoing thermal shock testing per MIL-STD-883, Method 1011, Test Condition B. I was wondering if anyone has a chart, equation, article, etc. that will give me an idea of the service life of the assembly after it su

Hello everyone We have a QFP-308 (0.20" pitch)on a board and we have a lot of opens after reflow. We checked our profil by installing thermocouples on the pads of the component and everythings seems OK. We checked the coplanarity of the leads and it

Folks, I am interested in learning more about solder robbing pads to help and avoid bridging for wave solder applications. I have heard of a few companys that use this process in their design but have not seen any documents for design rules etc.

Possible cause can be design related- if the solder land is too small. Check w/ IPC SM-782 Solder Land Design Guide Another is board finish. I have seen problems like this with Gold finished PWBs- which creates a more brittle solder joint.Another pos

I' designing a PCB with SMD components to optimize the land patterns for wave soldering. I find that the IPC-SM-782 land patterns are not robust enough for wave soldering, yielding ramdom skips and bridges. This PCB will also give me insight on sha

Occasionally solder mask thickness is believed to be the cause of gasketing challenges during paste printing. We currently specific IPC-SM-840 on our fab drawings but this provides no limits or guidelines on thickness. I do not want to cause an unr

We don't have a good answer for you, but we do have several thoughts on the issue: * First, tin in your solder or solderability protection is going to diffuse into the copper trace or pad on the board naturally. You can stop that by using a protectiv

Hi guys; There are a few points that should be taken in to considerations regarding IPC-SM-782 land pattern and design rules. As a general rule all SMT reflow pattern should be in comply with SM-782 but however for special cases like : * PLCC land
