Are you exposing so you can solder and SMD component directly to it? If not are there ant vias near by that connect to the area you are trying to expose? If not I have done as Dave suggested using a dremal tool. Messy but it works.

I have been actively experimenting with Selective WS pallets fabricated from Delmat. I need feedback from users on life expectancy, demesion constraints relative to warpage or degradation, and any useful info on ways to maximize life and prevention

Dream, Sound's to me like your PCB supplier has process problems, probably outgassing or such from trapped moisture / contaminant's. I thoink it's time you called in your vendor for a chat. JohnW

Does anyone have any experience with soldering 50mil pitch BGA's that have a via in the pad, the size is .012 The via will be masked off on the bottom side of the board. Need to know what precautions or problems if any I might encounter. The process

Hello Netters, I need some info, Earl or Dave, I have a PCB that exhibits a white layer on solder side. It does not appear to be surface residues (IPA has no effect), but looks like its under solder mask. My first guess is that the LPI solder mask

| | I have gold fingers that I want to mask when running over the wave without pallets. They're on the leading edge of the board. I recall seeing rubber boots that slid onto the fingers to mask them. Pop 'em on before the wave; pop' em off after a

When tenting vias almost a few vias are not covered completly by Solder Mask. Does this one side open vias affect the Immersion Tin Process ? Do we get chemical residues in the vias ?

If by the Powers Ta Be (customer/designer), you can't change the PCB design, negotiate for the PCB fab house, to block the via holes with their (green?) solder mask some customers/designers want to have via holes to be present in the PCB pad, due to

Is this safe to wavesolder the PCB in wave contaning carbon pads for switch or somekind of masking is to be put on that pads.
