Q1: Are the markings on resistors the actual value? A1: Generally, resistor marking indicates the value of the device, where the first two digits are the value and the third digit is the multiplier. Q2: Do AOI machines look for these markings or do

There's no easy answer. It depends on: * Thickness and size of the PCB in the array. * Means of separation. * Type of component. SMT components are more sensitive to the forces that need to be applied to separate the PCB. * Type SMT device. Ceram

hi Bob, Thanks for the info. I understand your comments, but I am looking for specific guidance, If I am putting chip capacitors on a .063 FR4 board, what size package should we stay away from to avoid cracking? (I realize this is dependent on h

As I mentioned in another thread, I've always been one to flux the living crap out of a board until the ICT guys start yelling at me, which actually did happen last week. I had a little oriental guy (an immigrant to Riyadh from Vietnam), clicking an

| Hi Folks, | As I travel our industry it seems to me the trend is to move from finner and finner pitch QFP's to array packages (BGA's, CSP's, etc.). Do you folks see the same trend? What is the finest pitch QFP package you have used in your process?
