High Density Printed Circuit Board Gerber File Reverse Engineering

High Density Printed Circuit Board Gerber File Reverse Engineering is increasingly challenged by several factors: physical, finer pitch pin spacing, in-surfficient financial support, mounting must be very precise, and the environment limitation.

Many plastic packages absorb moisture, causing the crack on assembly processing. Physical factors also include the complexity of the installation process and the reliability of the final product. Further financial decisions must consider how the PCB board will be manufactured and assembled.

More fragile pin components, such as SQFP, shrink quad flat packs with 0.50 and 0.40mm?0.020” and 0.016” pin pitches, may be it will present a challenge to an assembly specialist in maintaining consistent assembly process qualification rate.

The most successful development plans are the high density PCB board design guidelines and pad geometries that have already undergone process certification.

In terms of environment, the pad geometries may be different and it is based on the type of welding used to mount the electronic parts. When it becomes possible, the pad shape should be defined in a way that is transparent to the mounting process used.

Whether the parts are mounted on one or both sides of the PCB board, subjected to wave soldering, reflow soldering, or other methods, the pad and part dimensions should be optimized to ensure proper solder joints and inspection criteria.
