This article introduces the technical development that went in to realizing an 80-layer ultra-multilayer printed circuit board, which meets the market demand for a "semiconductor test board supporting memory increases". The achievement of the ultra-multilayer board was accomplished by approaching the development from the perspective of 1. manufacturing, 2. board material and 3. design.
The BEST Pad Repair kit includes the tools and materials needed to reliably replace lifted or damaged surface mount and BGA pads on PCB's.
This kit includes 3 different tin plated copper base material circuit frame patterns, which offer nearly 3 times as many useable replacement land patterns as other circuit frames. Unlike dry film circuit frames, BEST circuit frames have no shelf life and can be used on both lead-free and tin-lead finish circuit boards.
I am finding some blow holes in the solder join in a resistors pad, can this be because of high humidity in the board? Does baking the boards fix the problem?... »»
We are currently running a new product with some very tight tolerances while depaneling. We are using a table top 3 axis robot w/ a drill. My question is what is the min/max distance between a component and the edge of the board?... »»
Has anyone had any luck programming using the side cameras to inspect for defects on the sides of chip components? We recently had an escape of a damaged chip capacitor that was impossible to see from the top camera... »»
This is a 1-day course utilizing, lectures, visual acuity exercises, and physical assemblies to provide the students with an experience in visually inspecting printed circuit assemblies... »»
The majority of the industry have been running no clean processes for many years and have often neglected important issues like design for cleaning... »»
