Do the scratches on the PCB have any bad effect to products?

We receive a batch of PCB with scratches from my supplier, but they think it is acceptable. I have never seen such error on even an B stock boards parts. Very confused. How do scratches affect PCB working?
  • pcb manufacturing

It depends on where the scratch is.

  • If the scratches are on the trace, it affects PCB working. Check whether your circuits are broken.
  • If the scratches are on the coppering area, it also affects PCB working.
  • If it happens in other places, there is few bad effects to PCB working.

Contact your supplier and give a quality assurance warning. Unstable product quality is a serious factor for your business, though you just sell in the retail market. It is advisable to find a supplier with ISO9001 management system as a backup supplier against the one you are cooperating with now.

What Others Are Asking

Are the two modules interfering with each other in a PCB with GSM module and the gp-635t GPS?

In my current prototype, I have a SIMCOM GSM module and the gp-635t GPS. They are both in an enclsoure including antennas (gps antenna is integrated). What I experience is sometimes poor GSM and GPS connectivity and sometimes GPS doesn’t get any fix (in the 2 minutes of time i allocate for it) and the GSM fails to send data sometimes. Any tips on this case?

Can HASL finish be used for castellated pads?

I am designing a PCB that uses castellated edges to connect to the parent board. I would like to use hot air solder leveling finish to save on costs for prototyping, but I am concerned that the non-planar surfaces of the module may pose assembly issues. Is it common at all to use HASL for castellated boards, or do I need Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold to ensure successful assembly?
