Hi Todd, it might be a philosophical question if soldermask between finepitch pads is prefered or not. That should depend on the capabilities of a particular site and their experience. We actually prefer soldermask down to 0,4mm pitch and don�t have

Jason: Wave soldering is the coolest thing!!!! First, so, what�s the chemical analysis of this white res? Can you point us to either tin, rosin, or something else? Second, how do you know that you are making these white residues? Could your boar

Ashok: Well, your customer probably has a good reason for wanting you to send them boards without holes in the solder mask. What is their goal for the mask capabilities after you get do reworking the boards? * Cosmetic surface coat? * Performance t

Jeremy: Parts assembler make leads of either Alloy 42 (Invar, whatever) or copper. The solderability of these leads are protected with eutectic or non-eutectic tin/lead solder, palladium or some palladium alloy, or gold. Cuppla things to consider:

Shane: We don�t dispense, but we have thought about it. Several points about peelable solder masks in a no-clean (low residue) process: � Beware of latex peelable solder mask with a low res process without extensive testing. The problem is usuall

CIM systems for electronics assembly have traditionally considered the PCB only. Final assembly "modules" are often attached to traditional systems to accommodate this common requirement for pre-PCB assembly, mechanical assembly, and final assembly

Precision parts and precision boards are nice for the initial evaluation but are costly for routine monthly accuracy tests. I know for a fact all the Siemens machines leaving Germany are evaluated with precision parts and board and placements are eva

What are you placing on this equipment? If you are placing flip chips, you need to have a glass plate test system to verify your machine is accurate and repeatable. If you purchase new equipment and plan to place flip chips or ultra fine pitch, it

OK, without knowing the specifics, why does everyone blame the oven? Most solder balls occur around R's and C's in almost every shop I've been to. The best place to start looking is the screen printer - not the oven. Sure the oven is the last proc

First, x-ray inspection machines have a wide range of capilities. Resolution is a key measure of a machine's ability to "distinguish" features. People say that some x-ray inspection machines have the ability to position the board being inspected at
