Hi Chunks, Starting copper on outer layer with .0007 is 1/2 oz. copper foil. so if starting copper is .0007 and your Board house will plate an additional .0021 mils of copper. which will give you a finished copper weight of .0028 Mils or (2 oz.) Y

Craig- Your point assumes most if not all of the problem lies in inferior equipment. I understand your point but I believe that an excellent process can overcome the fact that you don't have brand new and pristine equipment. As an example you can

If you need any info about the 4785, let me know. If you understand Perl I'd be happy to send you the software I wrote for 4785 program generation. Mine is based around PanaPRO but it would at least give you a very simple optimization routine if

Hi, I am process engineer of SMT production. We have some strange problemn with tantalum capacitors. 1 case: If tantalum capacitor placed near BGA and one of his legs is connected to one of the BGA balls, after reflow we can see short between two or

I have been using overall combined DPMO of SMT PCBAs as a performance metric. All defects are recorded down to component location and defect category. The resultant defect data table is analyzed with detailed pivot tables, defect type and defect loca

i would say that you are there already. with 10,000 DPM0 you have a 1% fallout, you are at 99.9 basically. 1 out of a 1000 boards will fail? of course one thing we need to know is how many opportunitites do you count for a chip resistor for exam

You might want to try going to the manufacturer about getting a refurb unit with a warranty. All of the manufacturers listed provide refurbished equipment deals that can be packaged with feeders. If you go with a broker or 3rd party rebuild hous

Hello AR, Yes we are inspecting SMT that has been wave soldered. We are not inspecting solder on through hole components. We have actually found the solder inspector works better for wave solder SMT joints than reflowed. The system is great at ident

The answer depends on the cleaning / defluxing method. There are many fine chemicals available. One must first consider the cleaning method, then safety (environment and operator), then cost. For automated board cleaners (defluxers), consider th

Immersion Silver, ImAg, is becoming the finish of preference. This is due to it having similar process limits vs. SnPb HASL. There were some early concerns about shelf life, but new chemistries have extended finish shelf life to 12 months+. Many boar
