Yes, I agree with guest. Lay it all out with masking tape on the floor. Include the width of feeders sticking out. Confirm the position of power, air, network and smema connections. You may even want to use cardboard layed out on to the floor. You ha

Guys Does anyone have any bright ideas with regards to masking a PLCC socket with via holes directly below the socket, prior to conformal coating ? We've tryed kapton tape and peelable masks but not with desirable results. Our coating process is a t

Hello Ashok If you are talking about the thousands of volts that is often generated by either simply unrolling the tape to apply or when it is removed from the board after soldering you don't have a lot of choice since it is an insulator. Ionization

How about plugging the via with a temporary solder mask or coving them with thermal tape?

After following the suggestions above, and where it would not be possible to mask BGA by soldering fixture, a Kapton tape (pre-punched) can be placed under BGA ( wave solder source side ) it can help to keep temperature low enough avoiding "seconda

Interesting, never heard of using wax as a coating mask. Not sure how well the AR coating would hold up to a hot alkaline wash (unless you have experience with it), but that stuff usually starts to flake off/de-wet if you just look at it wrong. I'm

We're looking into ways to better protect components adjacent to reworked ones with our Air-Vac. I've seen a few recommendations involving aluminum tape and other masking materials, but am looking for better recommendations. I noticed Alpha Metals

Is anyone aware of any manufacturers of kapton dots for masking boards that come on tape with feed holes punched on the side? It seems like it would be pretty easy to modify a standard feeder to to do labels if the carier was punched for a standard f

Dave: After the stencil was made with apertures for a connector on this PCB, it was discovered that the connector would have to be handsoldered after SMT reflow. If the solder deposits are left to reflow on the pads, it makes it difficult for the o
