A few questions: How did you put the wrong part on for so many years and not catch it? Was this due to an error in the customer supplied data like an incorrect BoM or an internal error such as a P&P machine programming error? How wrong was the wron

Hello, we are currently designing one device that needs shielding. Under the shield, there is one BGA chip and 0402 components. Now we have a dilemma whether we should go for a one-part shield or two-part shield. We talked with several EMS companie

This question is regarding stencil design: I am having voids under QFN TI P/N LMZ20502SILT. I have attached component pic. Signal pin is 18X16 mils. Center pads are 31 mil sq. Initially I had stencil done with one mil per side reduction on signal pad

Adding to Rob's suggestions ... One of the theories about voiding in thermal / ground pads of BTC is: Solder starts melting at the edge of the pad and moves inward towards the center of the solder mass. This traps flux volatilizes. So, there needs t

Hello, other colleagues gave you valid ideas. I found it helpful if i reduce the size of the cooling openings. I would suggest making the four big square into very small many diamonds. This would maybe decrease your voiding with 2-4 percent. Btw how

Note that the TF2800 features a large 7 panel preheater with an adjustable height component that allows you to adjust the height of the IR preheater to get much closer to the board. This feature multiples the power of the preheater exponentially, so

I have a question about the Gerber file format for PCB prototype. The CAD program I am using is a DOS version and generates Gerber files in the RS-274-D format. However, ALLPCB require the Gerber files in the RS-274-X format. I have to approach other
