What’s the meaning of “CR” marked on the PCB?

Receive the PCB prototype from supplier. And see a CR mark on the board. What does it mean? Is it related to quality control?

C for capacitance. R for resistance. CR for capacitive reactance circuit.

Alternating current can pass through the capacitor. When the capacitor is connected to the AC circuit, the charge on the capacitor plate has a hindering effect on the directional moving charge, which is called the capacitive reactance.

What Others Are Asking

Why are there no BGA chips with triangular tessellation of circular pads?

A triangular tiling would allow π⁄√12 or 90.69% of the footprint to be reserved for the solder balls and the surrounding clearance, while the ubiquitous square tiling only allows π/4 or 78.54% of the footprint to be used. Why are there no BGA chips with triangular tessellation?

Can leaded BGA chips be reflow soldered with lead-free process?

I know that using leaded process for lead-free BGA chips is not acceptable, because the solder balls of the BGA will not melt and the joint will be unreliable. But now BGA chip is only available in lead-free balls. is it ok to solder leaded BGA chips with a lead-free (thus, higher temperature) process?
