Hello,
I am looking for inputs (experiential or opinions) concerning field reliability of high-frequency RF boards that have had a trace or pad repair (or both), any package type. If anyone can comment on this subject, I would appreciate it.
We build an extremely high mix of complex PCAs, and I believe are unnecessarily scrapping assemblies that could be repaired and entered into service reliably. I am already pursuing this with our customers, but would like any "real life" tales of what has or has not worked for folks in the industry. Skill of the person(s) doing the rework is not as much of a concern as is long term RF performance. I plan to use IPC-7721 as my rework specification---any experience out there???
Cheers, mr
