Glen: As I mention in an earlier response in this thread, I think someone at Steve's plant (or may be in his packaging spec for the fabs) is doing something to leave a residue, but I'm also thinking solder mask ... ENIG can be applied before or aft

Istv�n: Given a choice, I�d run second side PLCC44s at 90� to the wave. As far as thieves are concerned, I�d have two, mirror images of each other. Unlike most, these thieves are not connected to pads. They are out-side of the last pad on the sid

Robert: Ah, opinions are like mothers, everyone has one. Here's mine: 1 Goto the Altera site, get a copy of "AN 114," follow it. Generally, manufacturers are closer to the requirements of their components than others are. 2 Metal showing on the b

Chris: Whatever way you decide to define your pads, use the same type on the component and the board. Non-solder mask defined pad advantages: � No point-of-stress concentration at edge mask and solder ball � No CTE mismatch at edge mask and solder

Russ: You've got stop soft-peddling this stuff. This doesn't sound like "poor solderability." It sounds like "no solderability." It also sounds like you�re dead meat. Three places to call: 1 Board supplier to get their suggestions on unsolderab

Sal: Hey that customer standing around staring at you sound like fun, yeh right!!! Wolfgang makes good sense, but, in addition, I�d like to drill-down on board fabrication (har har har) a little bit (har har har) more. You say the holes are the cor

Jack: You should use your components promptly. Don't store 'em, only bad things will happen to them. 1 You should store all your components, not just your SMD reeled components, so they are not damaged or their solderability decreased. Check the

Frankly I have no clue about whether or not the parts are good because our receiving inspection team is equipped with nothing more than a couple of caliper sets and a partial gauge pin set. There ARE things I miss about the medical instruments busin

Terry The SCC3 product is a vinyl modified silicone. It is less able to perform at low temps as it becomes brittle. It is not easy to repair because it is essentially silicone. It is not a qualified material to the MIL-I-46058 Spec. Are you sure yo

A question mainly for Dave. F, but if anyone else can help I would be very grateful. We (as a, process engineering dept) are getting crucified by our �internal customers�. ��The QUALITY??? Dept�� regarding information taken from solder paste height
