We are having a discolorization problem with the gold fingers on our PCB's. I have been made aware that there is a gold touch-up paint (masking) that is available. Would anyone know where I can get my hands on some of it? Any help would be appreci

We are a PCB design house/CM and we have found that if you elongate the QFN pads to the outside of the part by .025 to .030 you then have the opportunity of doing touch-up manually with a soldering iron should there be a voiding issue. This would hav

You have two options 1. Get some real solder mask form board supplier (not touchup pens) and repaint the trace and heat cure. 2. Fill the via with solder before reflowing new part, this usually works but sometimes it doesn't. We use Method 1 Russ

We have the same Asymtek machine, same Humiseal product, same bubbling issue on touch ups. Ive found that very light pressure and a thinner mixture usually yields good results for us. Generally I dip the brush in the mixture and let it drip near wher

Thanks - we have tried everything you can imagine with machine settings as well as burnishing and flatening fids with irons. I don't want to deal with it in house. The volumes are huge and we don't want to do any touch-ups. I am really looking for

don't you just love those design guys sometimes, this is an issue that pops up every once in a while with us too. We have a couple assemblies that have hundreds of vias on pads. We have tried and had some sucess with: increasing squeegee pressure,

I ran into this about 2 years ago. The Rework Operators (all 3 shifts) would rework a device, rince the board with tap water (yep, 50k / Cm^3) from a nearby sink, then send the PCB to test (which is really ironic as they had to walk past the DI wash

I have a question about inspection, touch-up, and how far you need to go to get a product that meets the required IPC-spec. According to some reports (i.e. "New Study Reveals Component Defect Levels" by Stig Oresjo of Agilent) the average defect leve

Our process mostly are double sided reflow and we are using water soluble paste on ENTEK PCB. Rework WIP has been accumulated since the last 4 months, and upon clearing, one of the method that the test guy use are to reflow the PCB again for one mo

GT 8 years ago every board saw "touchup". Touch was done to fix boards to conform to A-610. Now A-610 allows less than complete hole fill. Our operators were totally freaking nuts about touching boards. They touched each others touch and on and o
