We form a barrier to contain the dye, but regardless it is messy. Actually, we no longer use dye, per say. We use the stuff machinists use for staining metal. Look here for hints: * http://www.ivf.se/Elektronik/dye_penetrant/edefault.htm * http:

Resistance: Tables of wire gauge often provide a resistance measure of some kind for each gauge. That way we can estimate the resistance of any length of wire we might be interested in. Calculating trace resistance is only slightly more complicated.

Ray, I don't know for sure what exact data Ceeris used to come up with their figures. Did they account for shipping? Was the rework done by expensive equipment? When I read your thre

Au thickness of 0.125 um should not cause solder joint embrittlement. Also, PCB fab should offer Au thickness range between 0.05-0.075 um for better process control and reliability. Higher Au thickness may suggest black pads leading to solder joints

You're correct. There is no criteria for no-lead, but there none for SnPb, either. Solder joint strength in pull/shear will vary with lead geometry, solder volume, lead metal/metallization, the way the test is done.

Have you seen IPC-A-610 D ? regards GS

Try IPC-SM-782.

Is anyone aware of any articles, white papers, etc., that discuss the gap between the lead and the pad after a SM joint is soldered? In particular, I am looking for a formula for that "gap" for various components.

We don't have a gap between the lead and the pad after a SM joint is soldered. On our boards, this space is filled with the solder intended to attach the component to the board. How high do components sit above the surface of a board? Most people a
