dave, where I work they are having the same problems with 1B31 acrylic. The coating thickness is 6-8 mils dried so that have to do several passes with an air dry between them and a final oven cure. They think that it might be related to the heating r

Hi all, just wondering what type of brushes you all are using to manually touch up/apply your conformal coatings? We use an solvent based acrylic and do minor touch ups as they are processed. Occasionally we will have a bristle or two come off the

Back in a former life, we had 3 products that were PCBs bonded to aluminum boards. We used a PSA from 3M to bond the board to the aluminum. Polymers are almost invisible in x-ray, but ultrasound worked quite well. You should try CSAM. Don't know

We are looking to purchase a table top batch oven, with nitrogen, for prototype work on various PCB assy's - some with BGA's. The intent is to simulate a multi-zone production oven profile - and we kow that an exact simulation is not possible - just

Hello, we have recently had some products returned (they were installed and operating in the field for around 2 months before they were returned). After looking at the boards it seems the vias have failed. We now have 2 pc pcbs with the same Via fa

If you have trouble also you can check out Valors vPlan, i have it running Yamaha YV100Xxg machines - they support Assembleon versions too. Can generate VIOS files from ALtium Input - either CAD DB files or ODB++ as Altium Designer supports this now.

Hi Jamyboy, I would find out from DDI what the 70% was rejected for, Could have been a repeat issue due to a scratch in artwork or something like that. I would not just jump and tell them to rebuild all until you know the facts. DDI is a very re

Is it possible the 70% are marginal and the board shop is being uber picky? I've seen a huge range of quality standards for board shops. And considering the cost of the boards I think a boardshop tour would be warrented to get firsthand knowledge o

First, why are they rejecting the boards? Are they rejecting them based on your acceptable limits or is it due to the standards they are using. Companies typically have standards that the board house must adhere to before shipping the product (depe
