So, is solder mask an insulator? Although that may seem like the case, a solder mask is not precisely an insulator—it does have insulating capabilities, but it also offers much more. Solder masks have evolved from solely isolating solderable surfaces to become a critical facet of circuit boar...
Solder Mask refers to the printing of solder mask ink on the surface of the PCB where soldering is not required. Due to the fluidity of solder paste at high temperatures when soldering printed circuit boards. Therefore, a layer of solder resist must be printed where soldering is not required ...

Poor solder paste wetting is usually an unseen cause of unreliable soldering processes and poor solder joints. Therefore, it does not imply that it is unavoidable just because bad soldering acts as a major problem. You can easily remove and prevent your board from occurring bad solder wetting ...
The lower precision of the solder resist application process can create misregistration, where the solder stop mask does not perfectly match the location where it is defined in your PCB layout. However, if the solder mask expansion is large enough, it will compensate for the misregistration and ...
This does not mean that the PCB is faulty – given that acceptance or rejection criteria cannot be established without standards on which to base those criteria. We see PCB design support not only as defining what we need, but also what we do with your design from receipt of data through ...
To begin with, it’s the most popular and has a long history to make solder mask with green color. What’s more, it’s cheaper to other colors. Secondly, as we all know, all the boards need to be PCB fabrication and assembly, there are some processes to pass through the yellow room...
the non-mask area is naturally the part that is not allowed to be soldered. is the solder mask area. The mask area is a hole (or called a window), and the non-mask area becomes a film, so people call it negative output. A) Why do you have to output negative film instead of po...
Title: Re: What does "No solder mask between pins" mean? Post by: zphaze on May 01, 2020, 12:30:02 pm I'm a bit newbie with Altium.I'm still not sure what this is all about.First, I'm not even sure what the purple around the pins is.I never really bothered to be honest...
What does a printed circuit board do? PCBs are used to mechanically support and electrically connect electric components. This is done with conductive pathways or signal traces engraved on copper sheets attached to non-conductive substrate. The different types of PCB mean they can be applied to an...
