Soldermask Issues
Soldermask, a protective layer on printed circuit boards (PCBs), is essential for preventing solder bridges and ensuring precise soldering. However, occasional issues may arise that require expert attention. At ELIPCB, we specialize in addressing various soldermask challenges to ensure the integrity of your PCBs.
Dealing with Soldermask Issues: Expert Solutions from ELIPCB
Common Soldermask Issues:
Insufficient Soldermask Coverage: This issue occurs when the soldermask layer does not fully cover the copper traces, potentially leading to solder bridging during assembly. Our team meticulously inspects and corrects any areas with inadequate coverage.
Soldermask Overlapping Pads: When the soldermask extends beyond the pad boundaries, it can hinder proper component placement. Our skilled technicians carefully adjust the soldermask design to ensure precise pad exposure.
Soldermask Tearing or Peeling: Torn or peeled soldermask can expose underlying copper traces, leading to electrical shorts. We employ advanced techniques to repair or replace damaged areas, ensuring optimal functionality.
Soldermask Registration Errors: Misalignment of the soldermask layer with the underlying copper features can result in soldering issues. ELIPCB utilizes high-precision equipment to achieve accurate registration during PCB fabrication.
Soldermask Residue or Contamination: Residue or contamination on the soldermask surface can compromise solderability. Our team employs thorough cleaning and inspection processes to remove any unwanted substances.
Soldermask Pinholes: Pinholes in the soldermask layer can lead to exposed copper, potentially causing short circuits. We employ advanced coating techniques and quality materials to minimize the occurrence of pinholes.
