PCB high-frequency board resistance welding process often encounters problems

PCB manufacturers, PCB designers and PCBA manufacturers explain some problems often encountered in the solder resistance process of PCB high-frequency boards

Everyone in the PCB high-frequency board design industry knows that solder mask is a layer of ink printed on the surface of the PCB high-frequency board. It not only plays the role of insulation, but also plays the role of protecting the copper surface, and also plays a beautiful role. It is like a piece of clothing worn outside the PCB high-frequency board. Therefore, any flaw in it is very easy to be found, so solder mask is also the process most likely to cause customer complaints in all processes. In the resistance welding process of PCB high-frequency boards, you may also encounter a variety of quality problems. The following sections summarize the countermeasures for some common problems, hoping to give you inSPIration and help. Common:

Improvement measures: control the storage time within 24 hours

Cause 2: Ink runs out before development

Improvement measures: work in the darkroom before development (fluorescent lamps are wrapped in yellow paper)

Cause 3: Insufficient developer solution

Improvement measures: if the temperature is not enough, check the concentration and temperature of liquid medicine

Cause 4: Development time is too short

Improvement measures: extend the development time

Cause 5: High exposure energy

Improvement measures: adjust exposure energy

Cause 6: Excessive baking of ink

Improvement measures: adjust baking parameters to prevent baking

Improvement measures: Stir the ink evenly before printing

Cause 8: Diluent mismatch

Improvement measures: use the matching thinner [please use the company's matching thinner]

Problem: Poor tin coating

Cause 1: Unclean development

Improvement measures: several factors to improve the development uncleanness

Cause 2: Post baking solvent pollution

Improvement measures: increase oven exhaust or machine cleaning before tin spraying

Problem: post drying and exploding oil

Cause 1: No segmental baking

Improvement measures: baking in sections

Cause 2: The viscosity of the plug hole ink is not enough

Improvement measures: adjust the ink viscosity of the plug hole

Problem: blistering on tin

Cause 1: Overdevelopment
