| | Anyone ever attach gold bump flip chip to FR4 or Alumina substrates. Am trying to find a solder which is acceptable for use on gold. Am worried about gold imbrittlement since the gold bumps on the flip chip are .004"x.004"x.001" solid gold. The

| Anyone have an idea how small a via must be to inhibit significant solder volume escaping into the via? Typically, micro vias are drilled and plated to about .003" diameter. To avoid significant solder "drain off," they should be drilled as shallow

Thanks for the comments & suggestions. Here's some info garnered from a telecon w/the PCB Fab house: -the blind via's extend from layer 2-17...this was a revelation. The info from our customer was that the via's only extended down 2 layers. Did I men

We just had this issue a couple months ago with a single sided FR-4 board which was scored. We found that the design was a factor but also the depth of the v-score. Since then we have re-designed the part further away from the score line. At the same

Solderability standards are: * IPC EIA J-STD-002B - Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs, Terminals and Wires * IPC EIA J-STD-003A - Solderability Tests for Printed Boards Not intending to insult you, but terms used to descr

We use these machines to insert swedge pins. When I first started here, there were certian programs that we ran that required us to put in a machine offset of +.120 in the X which is a lot. after learning the machines better, I realized that whoever

Hi all, The majority of score machines used today have a top cutting wheel and bottom cutting wheel. This way they can score a line in one pass and saves on programming time, Panels are typically scored in one direction first and then the panel is r

Paul: You are dead-on! Desiccant and nitrogen cabinets are a great way to maintain the current moisture content level of a MSD package. But if you look at the 40 degree C schedule (Table 4-1) in J-Std-003B, you will find that the drying capability o

Hi All, I would like to get some inputs regarding this.... I have bare PCB which were stored with kapton tape attached on the Au plated pads. These were stored for close to a year. Upon removal of kapton tape, we noticed discolorations on the edges o
