| During inspection and test we find leads which do not get soldered. Some are because of insufficient paste, but with others everything looks right. This will only happen on 1 to 2 pins, and it is not isolated to a specific type of ic or location o

The circle is not a "good" fiducial. The gradually change in contrast of a circle versus a cross makes it difficult to find the center of the fiducial. By pre-tinning the fiducials there will be a convex mirror surface distorting the edges even more.

If the fiducials are rejected from the vision system, I would not relay on the accuracy of the position. Again, I would like to point out that the circle shape has a somewhat sinoid contrast in X- and Y- direction ( same as a diamond shape, but recta

We have resorted to adding a ring (or donut) around our 0.040" round fiducials. The donut acts as a "plating thief" to minimize the thickness of the copper plating (in the case of HASL finish) and of the solder plating (in the case of solder-plated

Earl, We have found that many people get closer to a zero defect program using pallets. Since you eliminate manula masking you eliminate on huge area of possible defects production. Since the pallets can align connectors etc, you get less defects due
