Hi techies, I received a board sample that probably we could assembly here, but I had one doubt about the manufacturing process. The board is a VGA card and has trough hole and SMD components at top side and 2 QFP 100 at bottom side. The 2 QFP had no glue attaching the components and were not soldered by solder wave machine, but all trough hole components were soldered. The question is : The 2 QFP were covered with solder mask and passed to the solder wave machine ? Or they used selective solder to avoid contact with the 2 QFP ? Or there are other ways to assembly this kind of board ? I am trying to figure out how they assembly this board, I am not familiar with this kind of assembly. Any input will be apreciated.
