OD - Outside Diameter The clearance hole in the circuit board should be 0.001" to 0.005" greater than the outside diameter. LUF - Length Under Flange The length of the flange should be 0.020" - 0.035" greater than the thickness of the circuit board. FD - Flange Diameter The flange diameter should be small enough to prevent interference with adjacent pads or circuits. Why BEST PCB Repair Kits? Lead Free and RoHs Compatibility BEST Inc is the first provider of PCB repair kits to make sure that you can modify and repair lead free assemblies. The tin finish of the BEST circuit frames are "lead free compatible"; they are also compatible with eutectic alloy versions.   You get much more for less!   BEST circuit frames offer nearly 3 X as many useable replacement land and trace patterns than other brands available on the market. Flexibility to Meet Your Requirements BEST can help you become more proficient at PCB repairs by offering a wide variety of tools to reduce the amount of time spent trimming circuit frames. Choose from a large variety of our different pads, traces, contact fingers and land patterns... or let us make a specialized version for you! The right tools for the right job Because BEST PCB repair kits are designed by artisans who repair circuit boards for a living the right tools have been included in this general PCB repair kit. The right tools include specialized stainless steel dental tools which allow you to remove a variety of hard coatings or precision v-grooves. In addition, small deep-throated c-clamps along with wooden popsicle sticks allow you to hold a replacement pattern down, even when the repair is oriented more towards the center of the PCB.   The right instruction BEST Inc. PCB repair artisans have been involved in board level repairs for a combined 60 plus years. In addition, several BEST Inc staff members have been teaching and contributing to the procedures found in the IPC "7721 Repair and Modification of Printed Boards and Assemblies". This combined real life experience is captured through a series of "how to" slides which will guide you through the actual repair procedures. These instructions provide advanced repair technicians some "tricks of the trade" which are key when performing PCB repairs. Click here to look at these "how to" slides.   Epoxy Adhesive System- Proven Reliability BEST testing has shown by using both backside micro etched circuit frames (a BEST standard) and the BEST 2-part electronics adhesive system that the bond strength of repair traces, pads and lands can approach that of the original lands, pads and traces. Even under thermal air-air shock conditions from -50ºC to 85ºC at a 30 minute dwell time for 200 cycles this adhesive system held up well. The same cannot be said about dry film bonding systems where the reliability of repaired pads, lands and traces did not hold up to such shocking environmental conditions. The variability in the application of pressure as well as the many different tips needed for the variety of surfaces make the results of the "dry film" method variable as well as the process cumbersome. In a study summarizing a variety of adhesion techniques for the repair of printed circuit board traces, the 2 part resin-hardner epoxy system has been shown to yield the best results.
