From what I can gather, the annular rings are used for grounding when these boards are put in housings. A screw goes through the hole and is torqued down. If there is excess solder on the annular ring, the screw doesn't seat properly. The pallets cov

Is the peelable mask (put on by the boardhouse) flat on the surface of the pcb? If so can you tell me the material name, so maybe I can find a picture? We have to print adhesive on the board, so the mask has to be flat. That is why Kapton from the b

We recently have received a lot of warped (bowed and/or twisted behond IPC 600 specs.) bare boards (some our fabricator's fault, some ours by design) and I can't help but figure that long term reliability will suffer when building product with them.

The data we have is from an IBM report. Below 100�C the SAC reliability is almost double that of SnPb (-40 to 100�C thermal cycle). When the upper end temp is increased to 125�C the reliability drops to 75% of SnPb. I'd like to see the data that s

Try this: * Lay the board onto a solder pot with the via in question on the heat. * Push the wire into the via. * Step back and pat yourself on the back. Since you probably have components in the area of the via that you don't want to cook, try a va

We use itty bitty drill bits in these cases. You can get one from your PCB supplier. Be careful they break easy. Russ

Hi Wow, Sounds like a neat problem. As an other idea try inserting the largest wire you can get in the hole and heating the free end to wick solder up the wire away from the hole. I probably like the solder pot with a small nozzle the best so it h

Currently trying to get away from using stencil printing. Looking for information on Micro-Dispensing and dot size using a Vermes MDV-3200A micro jet dispenser. I am using a Indium led free solder that has size 6 balls. With a 100 micron dispense hea

Good afternoon, You have to use lead paste since none-RoHS components won�t withstand elevated temperatures. Solder paste manufacturers offer a lot of transitional pastes designed specially for mixed process. Ask your paste supplier for transitional
