| Hi there, | I'm actually facing a lot of trouble with PCB's presenting up to 3mm of bow /twist at reception i.e. before assembly. The PCB size is 220 by 230mm. The boards are to be assembeled SMD double sides with 05.mm pitch on both sides. In orde

| Hello everyone, | I am currently running a gold plated SMT board and am experiencing tiny solder balls between the pads and the masking between the 20 mil pitch devices. I'm looking at these boards with a 60x microscope. IPC-610 say's any visible s

| Is there any problem using SMT on gold boards? 15 years ago we were told not to use gold boards, but I can't remember why. Judging by the other postings it now appears to be common. Only problem I see is that the nickel should be plated, not ele

Dear Dave, Sure we can ! There are two values going around. One is 50 mg/mm2 The other one is 30 g/inch2 (30 * 1000) / (25.4 * 25.4) = 46.5 mg/mm2 So we are talking the same language. Regards, Frank J. de Klein | | | Hi, | | | We have encountered one

| | Hi, | | We have encountered one serious problem that heavy packages falling down during second side reflow, especially for PLCC 84. I believe it caused by temperature profile setting. | | Any good suggestion would be highly appreciated! | | Stone

Use caution if epoxy is dispensed under the PLCC 84. If the "SMT Gods" look unfavorably onto you rework will be difficult. I had a ceramic PLCC 84 which weighed 15 grams (MCM) and due to packaging failures (glass seal to metal cover) rework was the
