People use green soldermask because people use green soldermask. In the 1950s, the US military selected green, because they liked green better than other colors. So, here we are. We believe the performance of red and blue is comparable with green. T

HI, i work for an EMS company and i got a few remarks on the solder mask question. In the manufacturing of PCBs there should be no difference if they use other color solder mask, but in the production of electronic assembly it could make a difference

Hi Konrad, I would suggest you include a clear mention of your requirement towards mask color as a "Special Note" in PCB Gerber / PCB drawing, for ready reference by your PCB manufacturing during fabrication. However, slight changes in color shade co

Sorry, if my first comment was a bit offensive against PCB manufacturers (it was not really intended :( ). We have already discussed the above mentioned issues with the manufacturer, and they stated, that everything is within specification... (and y

konrad, why did you change your mind now? Now you can agree with PCB manifacturerers? I didn;t hear anything in their defense and you gave up. If colour is not the same each time, that means they don't have standarts or knowledge to control it, an

This is the procedure to reset the password in the UCT-52 software. I don't know if it will also work on the machine, but it's worth a try: To reset UCT 52 after you get a password has changed error, you need to type the master password in to reset

With this current downturn how many of us are worried about our jobs? It wasn't that long ago (00/01)since the last one and just trying to get an idea on how bad this one is going to be. We slowed down middle of last quarter and I think the worst is
