Q1.Does anyone know a way to verify the amount of OSP coating on a board? A1. There is no specification. Thickness is difficult to measure. Thickness is product related. There are at least six major suppliers. Years ago, here on SMTnet, J Medernach s

Jeong Ju-young You touched them all up with an iron? Wow! We have also had similar issues. What I did to prove there was a board problem was paste one & reflow one bare board with the same chem (noclean) we saw the non-wetting condition. Then applied

I do a lot of thermal cycle testing of new components for my company and often when I lay out a test board I'm trying to simulate 4 or 6 layer boards but I don't need them for routing so I just use a solid fill of a cross-hatch pattern. I've done it

Sean, We can't comment on the EDX report; but, we have seen these types of problems before. We would initially agree with you that it seems like a material issue. A solderability test should be performed on the part, and on the board. Easist way

Anyone work with or have knowledge about metal core/clad boards? The board I'm working with is approximately 2" X 3/4" aluminum core pcb, in a 56 up array. There are 3 LED placements per board. I'm having trouble getting a consistent screen print.

SME, Thanks for your response, but I have already checked out 1 & 2 on the downstream conveyor, and they are sending the machine ready signal. I know that the loader is recieving it because when the downstream conveyor is not busy the loader attemp
