ECO board mod spec?

Apr 03, 2008 5 Replies

Is there an IPC or some other body that makes a spec that details how to make mods to a board? We've got two pins of a LQFP-48 that need to be shorted together. Right now we just tossed an 0402 0R resistor across these pins and soldered it there.



This is for a product that stays on someone's desk. No corrosive gases, vibration, shock, etc... not more than a normal product would see, eg iPod or whatever.



I know there are rework specs, but are there any ECO specs?


Last time I needed to do that, I specified a blob of solder.

Solder-sucker braid is a nice "fix-all" ;-)

Damn; no wonder all those solder bridges I have been "fixing" didn't help! So much for solder wick.

The only "spec" I know of is what makes the customer happy, in a case like this. I'm sure there are ISO "guidelines" or something, but the spec itself should be written by the company's engineers/techs, and signed off by the same guy who signs off on the P.O.
