Thoughts are: * Eliminate solder spotting on gold fingers through process improvement in broard handling, printing paste control, and reflow recipe development. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for previous discussions. * Dispense or print a reflow te

Why don't you use peelable/washable solder mask on the SMT components next to the T/H pins? Then, you won't have to worry about keeping the tight tolerances.

Guideline for Tenting Interstitial BGA Vias It is difficult to give a complete recommendation on via tenting without an idea what process conditions are required (ex: wave pass, double reflow, rework etc.). Via Pads (as Test Points) - On Bottom

Has anyone experienced bridging on topside (solder destination side) surface mount devices after wave soldering? We x-rayed 100% of the placements after smt re-flow with no issues. When the same placements were x-rayed after the tht wave solder pro

Aleksander, The answer is no. Solder deposit being printed is 80um-150um in height depending on PCB design what is two times higher than any track covered by solder mask. Molten solder will merely center the component. QFNs are prone to soldering

I noticed that your solder mask registration is off some. Does it cover a significant portion of any of the pads for these parts? If so, is it possible that the surface tension of the solder at liquidus is enough to skew the part when the solder i

Consider: * Quitting the coating business all together and using a coating service supplier, like: Thermospray Co 800-952-5838 Mike Moninger; Advanced Coating 800-722-1444; Epsco 108 W. 37th St Boise Idaho 83714 (208)389-2000 * Buying a programmable

Anybody have any ideas on the proper way to screen solder mask onto a PCB? I am going to cover SMT parts that were soldered to the btm side of the PCB, now I have to mask them in order to run this animal through the wave solder process. I know it w
