The 3-Tier PCB library concept was originally created by IEC (International Electromechanical Commission) in 1999 and introduced to IPC in 2000. The concept had to be created as a solution for high density packaging for hand held devices to ruggedize

Hi Colin, Are you using the 1206 package with 4 elements or one of the higher density smaller packages? With the first type you can get them in both Convex or Concave terminations, with most of the solderability problems associated with using the C

I would think it would be more productive to compare DPMO. Particularly across different products. A simple board of 20 components should yield much higher than a complex board of 200 components. Also, some consideration should be given to the dif

Is normal DI rinse cycle enough to wash away all residue after SMT assembly of high density substrate? This substrate would later be over molded to form MCM module package and I am seeing delamination in high density areas of the substrate at MSL3

Hi Well maybe someone else has better info yet I don't see this fully associated with density of package. As long as the process gives a good Electroless NI, Immersion AU you should be OK. If it doesn't and the process output is marginal as has been

I agreed with PeteC to use the selective wave pallet, please aware TSSOP is classify as MSL 3. The advantage of the surface mounting allow both package body size and thickness to decrease but also increase the density of the package. Direct heating

Probably the most important recent event has been the acquisition of International Flexible Technologies by Scheldahl,whose strength in flexible materials will have a major growth impact for flexible circuits--already growing nicely.Also,continuing a

I'm not 100% sure which type of gold you're asking about, but if you're talking about hard gold plating, I think the most common use is to provide a durable surface for things like membrane switch contacts because it resists abrasion and other mechan

It doesn't appear to be a proprietary mix. Maybe it's 'neither Alpha Metals nor Kester WILL [want to] supply it.' It's interesting. A lot of the discussion of a solder replacement for 63/37 has centered on high temperature alloys. In real life,

No mystery there... The balls are reflowed by conduction of heat from the package itself and the backside preheater just as in any other rework machine. The laser is just another method of precisely heating the entire package. The advantage is overa
