SOLDER MASK THICKNESS | 6 March, 2013

What is the minimum solder mask thickness required for Class 3 products. We are insisting fabricator of the pcb shop to use only spray coated solder mask. The SM thickness on the epoxy is about 17 microns, In the center of the tracks are 8 microns and at the knee it is 4 microns.

The boards are for high reliability applications.

Solder mask thickness requirement is defined by the procurement specification. There is no written solder mask thickness as a standard. Some of say evaluate it with 500 VDC. It depends on withstanding voltage.
