Dumb question. Why not double coat white marking ink over the green solder
mask?

Hi guys,

I have a customer interested in introduce BGA's in his production process.
It seems that he coulkd be interested in adquire some equipment to plce them.
Actually, big p&p machines are offered with a large costes and they have
prohibited prices.

Do you know any small equipment for small productions, to offer to my customer?.

I know OK Industries equipments and at this moment, they seem the ideal for
place and remove the BGA's.

Does any body know an alternative product?. If yes, please contact me for
models and prices. I could be interested in take your representative for
Spain and South France.

Waiting for your comments.

Best regards

Message-Id: <[log in to unmask]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Gold and Tin do not mix in Solder.  In fact, studies done by the
military actually show a degradation in reliability for gold plated
parts that have been soldered into a board.  My guess is that when the
vendor tins the gold leads, the gold evaporates and you would be hard
pressed to find any of it even if you scraped the tin off.  Therefore,
the guidelines that I would follow would be the industry standard on the
thickness of tin plated leads of components

Hope this helps

Subject: ASSY: Pre-tinning of Gold Leads
Date: Tuesday, January 14, 1997 1:45PM


Technetters

We use a lot of components that come with gold plated
leads (gull wing, J-leaded, castellations..).  We are currently
asking our vendors to pre-tin these leads if possible and one
such vendor wants to know the exact mil-spec that he can
look up to know the thickess of the tinning that is required.

Can anyone point me to the exact document that spits out
recommended tinning thicknesses based on the thickness
of the gold on the lead??

Thank you

Subject: Photo-initiation
Message-Id: <[log in to unmask]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

     At 5.00pm 150197 , a supplier of soldermask ink informed me that different
ink have different composition of photo-initiator and because of the variation
in the amount of photo-initiator it contains , a lower exposure energy is
required
for those with high level of phot-initiator and vice versa .
Although majority of soldermask ink supplier TDS mentioned an approximate
300mj/cm2
of exposure energy needed during the process of photo- initiation ,sometimes
this
does not work . Any comments is much welcome .Thanks .

Message-Id: <[log in to unmask]>

This E-Mail addresses the section of Doug Paul's response to Ellen 
Bekrman that mentions the Labeling Law.

Ellen, the EPA established a hotline in early 1993 when the labeling 
law went into effect, it is (800) 296-1996. I just called the number 
and it is still active. 

Please feel free to contact me directly if there is interest in 
knowing how we and many of our customers responded to the labeling 
regulation (40 CFR Part 82 - Protection of Stratospheric Ozone).
