Hi Paul, My discloser, I sell for an offshore house, this is Crap.... Section 3.4.3 Annular Ring (External) of IPC-6012A, which also calls out Table 3-5, states that "Plated-through holes identified as vias can have up to 90 degrees breakout of t

Herb: Try oversizing your stencil fiducial openings to maybe twice the size of the board fiducial. When aligning manually, look for uniformity in the annular ring which appears around the fiducial. Hope this helps.....

Thanks Russ. You were right I looked one page too far. We can meet (A,B,C,D). To meet the 75% of (E) the annular ring will have to be scraped. Your help was much appreciated.

I am trying to find out what would be considered the minimum test via that would be considered reliable for Flying Probe testers. Specifically Javelin testers. Also what would the minimum annular ring need to be.

What type of preheaters do you have on you're wave? I have to agree with Dave. Your leads are not cold, they are hotter than the annular ring on the PCB. This would cause the solder to go to the lead only rather than the component and land pad / a

With the new rev D release of IPC-A_610 came a new section 10.2.9.3 which identifies a via (through hole) with nicks along the inside of the annular ring. Defect is all three classes and states "Damage to conductor or lands". We have for years defa

Replying to mine own thread for clarification. We are having some issues with solder mask shifts on memory boards using fine pitch BGAs. At times the etch to etch distance does not leave room for a solder mask annular ring to be shifted or it will c

One failure mode we have seen with TH XTALs is shorting from one of the leads to the metal can that houses the part. Typically, the opening around the lead at the base of the part can be small and if you combine this with a larger than needed annula

Pete, is there a probe-style that will accomodate a via that's filled, but a little concave (inward) fillet? The ICT personnel complains about this scenario too. I'm not an ICT person, but I do know that there are pogo pins that have a crown (for t

Annular rings are too big, it is acceptable to have shorts on the common conductors. I would be willing to say the "other" supplier may have modified the artwork as well. Good fluxing, preheat and proper immersion depth are key to eliminating short
