Hello, I have a few PCB boards i am trying to be manufactured that are miniaturized medical devices. Thus they require IPC Class 3 Specs. However as miniature devices they have limited space, including a 0.4mm pitch BGA socket, which currently has

Mohammed, The first suggested place to start with your question would probably be with your flux Mfr. Push them! The quantity of dross is effected by several factors: The higher your solder pot temp., the higher your dross level... but don't go too

Steve: Addressing your points: 1 FINE PITCH APERTURES Electropolishing Laser Cut Stencils: Laser cut should not requiring polishing. Geesh, how much money do you have for stencils? ;-) Oval Shaped Apertures: Pass. What do you expect to gain f

| Q #1) Is it more reliable to have the mask tent over the vias or risk getting vias half filled with solder? These are vias with an .020" hole and .040" or .050" pad. John, It depends......mainly on the via size. Tenting works on smaller vias. Tent

John, programming can be done easier, but you have to pay the price somewhere. I would recommend using the following sequence if you see a lot of new products all the time. 1. Use your own part number system. With these numbers you will fill up you

John, contemporary machines provide their own software for programming - most you can do completely offline. There are several tricks here: 1. Design libraries correctly - you should have polarity convention that matches your P&P and your AOI machi

class 3 requires 100% barrel fill Class 3 requires 75% vertical fill of solder for component with less or more than 14 leads. Not 100% fill.

0.66 area aspect ratio...so for example...if the device is 0.5mm pitch QFP, the pcb pad may be 12 thou wide..make the aperture 9 to 10 thou wide...and reduce it's length by 10 % overall compared to the pcb pad.... Depending on device pitch, select ap
