Try sending your boards to rework before SMT and have them remove the excess solder from the fiducials. It usually works great until someone accidentally removes the entire fiducial.

We had a same problem before and Cirtech work with FAB supplier. It is due to the contamination on the tank. No special profile and paste use on the immersion tin board. Dason

First, consider checking the fine SMTnet Archives. Look for threads on "white tin", in addition to "immersion tin". We�ve had a cuppla good ones of late. Merix [http://www.merix.com] gives a good comparison of different solderability preservatives

Welcome to SMTnet. Awww, those assemblers are always whining about something. Just tell him to shut-up and build the blankin� boards. Jeesh!!! We used to have copious archives on the topic on SMTnet and our friend Brian is working his fingers t

Obviously knowledge in this area is still in a bit of a 'flux'. Dave, you had the right idea, the "putz"s signed off on the responsibility, and sent a new batch o'boards. FAST. This new batch were at least date code in 2010, and we had no issues so

Therein lies the issue. Unknown storage conditions before we received the PCBs, date codes just expired (2 weeks), first article is de-lam city! Had a bad feeling about it. Have read some studies showing that there is no linear tie in of visual cha

| Currently, we are baking any PCB before process on SMT, the 'reason' is to dry any possible humidity that could be inner the PCB, it does not matter if the PCB is multilayer or not. We bake PCB's at 107C for 4 hrs and the board must be process into

Two things ... A friend in the contract coating business said: "... the board is not being baked out long enough, 30 min is certainly not long enough depending on how many layers this board is, as the vacuum (from the parylene process) is pulling t
