First, look here [http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/snva500/snva500.pdf ] This is the actual pdf from TI, not some cheap-ass reproduction, like the link you gave us. Orange polygons [and other shapes] - copper covered with ENIG * On the edge of the board, bo

Hi, Your right guys, and we turned off the chip wave, and most of the problem went away. It looks much better, and we are getting a slight bridging on a USB connector at the front edge of the PCB and a little adhesion, but not any where as much as w

Paste stored tip down, so separation in the tube is not suspect. Remember that the defect was produced on a screen printer running with a Rheopump. A few more details are that the strip of the board containing the uncoalesced solder is consistent w

| We are wave soldering a board having 24 similar thru hole connectors on it, using a wave soldering pallet. The problem is that one particular pin of connector in around 6-9 connectors get excess solder on the bottom side. I have tried all the par

Hi Jason I think Wolfgang has this one nailed. If it's the same four pins every time and nothing changes this, even rotating the board 90 degrees, then you're probably going to find something like a ground plane connected to them. I don't think sol

Cheers to you Your gold plating is specified for the gold wire bonding between the die of your BGA and the pads on the BGA substrate. For solderable surfaces this is heavy on gold for use on pads. Gold SB thinner on pads to limit the amount of gol

Where are the shorts occurring on the 96 pin connector? Are they consistently in the same areas? It looks as though there are a number of pins connected by traces on the board, and/or the ground plane. This would cause a lot of repeatable shorts i

The parameters which effect the problem you are having are flux and contact time try first increasing the flux you are applying. Next reduce the contact time in the wave by adjusting the back flow plate. If the problem is a jig design check out the j

In the purest sense of ESD control, we would have to say yes, use ESD tape to cover the gold fingers. The gold fingers are connected directly to input/output controls for the card, and, as we all know, when handling boards, we're supposed to avoid c
