Your thinking is correct. Wave soldering pads that were designed for reflow can create problems: * Large pads used for reflow [too much solder] can create reliability problems. * Bridging [too much solder] creates rework. * Skipping & shadowing from

I am a senior industrial engineering student at the University of South Florida. For my Facility Design class, my team has chosen to design a PCA plant that will make one product. We are looking for an obsolete or in-service circuit board assembly

Hello All, I am brand new to PCB design and I came across this forum while browsing. It’s very interesting to meet members here sharing information on PCB designing. I came across few articles on web regarding DFM(Design for Manufacturability) metho

I am having problems with D-Packs shifting during reflow. Does anyone know of a good aperture design to solve this problem ? Possibly bow tie.

We have had the same problem with several boards, and the problem was with the land pattern design on the PCB, not the stencil. We found that the part tends to center itself on the one large pad, and if the two smaller pads are not the right distance

"LGA" [land grid array] is a pretty broad topic. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for background on: * BGA * uBGA * Flip chip * etc Consider: * Area Array Packaging Handbook: Manufacturing and Assembly; Ken Gilleo; McGraw-Hill Professional; 1st edit

I am currently involved with designing a pcb which will use 225 pin bga,s The problem with this design is that the components will dissipate a lot of heat and the design we have come up with is use the middle 6 or 7 rows of balls as the grounding,th

Are there a set of guidelines for optimizing panel design for tabs that will be removed with a board router ? In other words we need to know how to layout the tabs. Thanks

I am working on instruction for potential customer about PCB design guidelines to make it easy for wave soldering (not selective). I have experience and have already gathered some info but I still need exact information about dimensions and distances
