Hi Julie, My opinion is that the top board would not pass IPC, solder mask encroachment on pads. Second board is what we call Orange peel,this can be caused two way's. 1) the solder mask was not tack dried enough prior to imaging which caused artwo

I recently saw an ad in a major trade magazine that stated: �about 60%of all printed circuit board manufacturing defects are due to stencil printing� I would like to hear comments from people that are running SMT lines, is this fact and if it is, w

Top picture: We're not wild about the 'poor registration,' the differing thickness of the solder mask, and the crud all over the board. But, then again, we don't have a basis for rejection. Bottom picture: No basis for rejection Help us out, what do

Just my opinion: Top pic - Solder mask registration WAY too far off, without a doubt I would reject. Bottom pic - I would worry that there was/is a contamination that caused the poor looking mask. This may be cosmetic only, but unknown. I would rej

Hi Everybody, Can enybody tell me what is acceptable level of defects for Wave soldering?I know that it's depends of many factors,but I want to benchmark my process. Thank you

zero- strive for no post wave "touch-up"

In obtaining almost zero defect in solder wave. I would like to suggest the following: First,We must consider changing machine if it is more than 5 years old. second, use the right tools for the right job. Most of the traditional engineers will us

Grayman: How does a "solder wave optimizer" replace fax paper to indicate flux penetration of PTH?

Hi John, It depends on what equipment and resources you have at your disposal - if you have an antique wave with crap adjustment & hand sprayed flux, no debridging/air knife system on a tightly packed board with a multitude of fine pitch connectors
