Hey Gyver: Oooow, using a pencil eraser has to take time. I would hate to be the person responding to your customer trying to explain the pencil eraser shreds accidentally left on the board. Awww, just spritz it with DI water and wipe it off with

I know IPC-A-610 RevD has requirements for Gold Fingers and solder contamination. Is there any such requirements for Gold Mounting Holes, Gold Pressure Fit Socket Lands (SMT pads), Exposed Gold Traces ? Wouldn't these all be considered "critical cont

Question: How many insertion/removal cycles can be expected of gold finger contacts? Problem: We manufacture a class 2 PCBA with gold finger contacts whose application will require repeated insertion and removal into card edge connectors (mother b

Masdi, Try board shunts. They are hi-temp rubber strips with grooves cut. They can be popped on and off with ease and are much faster than taping and considerably cheaper. They also work great for masking goldfingers prior to wave soldering. Contac

I am looking for a Masking tape for Gold fingers on a PCB . It should not leave any residue on reflow soldering ( 220 deg c). Currently, I am using Kapton tape with Silicon adhesive. It is leaving minute quantities of residue? The fingers are al
