hi I am designing a test vehicle with a range of components on it(pbga, cbga,fc, mbga, and qfps). My concern is that I would like to use a single stencil for solder deposition and not a stepped stencil. That would require me to have aperture design a

Don't sound proper. There is no specification. Pad peel strength test methods are: * IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.21 for multiple solderings * IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.8 for copper peel with a Instron machine. Typical requirement for Cu is: 6 lbf/in [1

I agree with the previous two replies. This is a perfect design....if you're trying to create a graveyard full of tombstones.

what is the technology? Is there fine pitch, double sided, number of layers, lead free? If the pcbs are not of the highest quality you may be set up for failure with no clean process. Couple things to look at is your paste flux content versus medal

We currently have an issue with via's in pads which we have been living with for some time. The problem has now escalated with the need to increase the via hole size to achieve PCB fabricators aspect ratio's. We are now not only experiencing solder d

Look here: http://www.circuittechctr.com/ As a low cost approach, use copper foil purchased from a stained glass window hobbyist shop. Cut foil pieces to size with a sharp knife. Epoxy the pieces in place of the damaged pads. Tin and then solder th

The total inductance of a chip capacitor is determined both by its length to width ratio and by the mutual inductance coupling between its electrodes. So, a 1210 chip size has a lower inductance than a 1206 chip. Check with your supplier for recomm

Recently I was given a bad Bios Link from Toshiba which fried my Bios and now my laptop boots to a black screen. I recently unsoldered and removed the existing Bios chip and have ordered anotherfor replacement. Unfortunately while removing, i damag
