FAQs:
  • What are the main advantages of using a blue oil immersion gold PCB?
    Blue oil immersion gold PCBs offer excellent visual contrast for easier inspection and debugging, combined with superior electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and solderability from the immersion gold finish, making them ideal for high-precision electronic applications.
  • What files and information do I need to provide for custom PCB orders?
    For custom orders, please provide your Gerber files (RS-274X), BOM if PCBA is needed, impedance requirements and stack-up if available, and any specific test requirements such as TDR or network analyzer testing.
  • What are the key manufacturing challenges with double-sided blue solder mask PCBs?
    Key challenges include ensuring reliable plated through-hole connections with uniform copper plating, maintaining precise registration between circuit layers, managing dual reflow soldering for components on both sides, and achieving accurate solder mask registration to prevent coverage issues.
  • How does the blue solder mask affect inspection processes?
    While blue solder mask provides good visual contrast for manual inspection, it can sometimes present challenges for Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) due to lower contrast against copper traces compared to standard green solder masks, requiring careful adjustment of inspection systems.
