Hi Cory, As a manufacturer of aqueous cleaning systems, my advise is somewhat biased, however I believe it to be accurate. We have hundreds of customers who have implemented no-clean programs. The programs have been successful when measuring the r

I'll try to deal with the issues as you've presented them. 1. Blistering/delamination, shown in photo 2. The most likely cause of blistering/delamination like this is moisture in the boards. The moisture can get into the boards in multiple ways..

| I have a problem with measling on our PCB's. We saw it on our FR4 PCB's at final assembly yesterday. Is this a defect from the board vendor or something we did in our assembly process when building the PCA's (thru hole). Could the wave solder ma

| | 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 e

You cannot determine foil thickness from its weight per area, because of the significant variation in the density of electrodeposited [ED] copper. But people don't care. They do it regardless. (oz/ft2)||(mils)||(mm) 1/2||0.7||17.8 1||1.4||35.6 2||2

Gawd. Sure FR-4 will meet those conditions. Tg [check the fine SMTnet Archives for discussion on Tg] of FR-4 is 130�F or so. Consider: * Is the delT between Tg and the upper operating [or storage] temperature acceptable for your application? * D
