Does anyone have experience with routing through areas of PCBs with Cu traces running through them. Trying concept to design in functional "wing" portions to our main board in an effort to get 2 in 1 functional boards - a fully functional main PCB

Dennis, I've seen this before, and in our case we didn't need to seal the edges because there was no concern of shorting or anything in the end product, this is a choice you will have to make, Does your end product have any protrusions or mounting h

Hi Pascal, 0,65mm pitch normally isn�t much of a problem. With 90�m CU I don�t have any experience but would like to know what deviation from nominal value for the pads you get with different PCB-deliveries. In short, for the standard Cu=35�m we se

| We are experiencing shorting on a BGA. The part has a 1mm pitch with a 196 I/O count. The problem seems to pop up without warning & disappear in the same manner. | Our pad design is .020" diameter pads with .025" solder resist diameter. The ce

You can use your x-ray inspection system to QC incoming multi-layer printed circuit boards. In particular you would want to insure drilling registration. A drilled, plated through hole, precipitously close to a ground plane can have , in time, copper

If the problem as you described as the gold plating contaminated, and the Nickel layer exposed to the solder pot. However, the purpose of the gold layer is to protect the nickel and copper layer not turn into corrosion and resist to other issue (humi

Personally I would go for one alloy it just makes it all simple to control. I have only used tin/silver and tin/copper so far with good process results. Reflow is relatively straightforward, I have had more shorts with wave on tin/copper. To date I

Dhanish, If I understand correct your ICT doesn't detect shorts and only measures capacitive and resistive values. The webbing as Ken mentioned would have a resistance because this is caused by a lack of flux and the web is mainly tin oxide, which w

They probably the same. Most likely someone is saying immersion gold [immersion Au] as a short hand for ENIG [ Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold]. It is very uncommon to plate gold directly on copper, because gold and copper form a brittle interm

OK, now let me ask the really dopey question ... so if the irregularity of the HASL surface is punching holes in the thermal gasket and causing shorts to the heat sink, why are you putting solder on that surface? I wonder how the thermal conductivit
