Hi, There are 2 main steps to reducing EMI from a product. The first is to minimise it at source with smart design (keeping signal traces short, lots of decoupling etc). There should be design guides available from internet seach engines. Many ma

We are having a lot of tomb stoning with this no clean solder paste. It's limited to larger, complex boards, affecting 0603 ferrite beads, capacitors and SOT23s. It was suggested that paste removed from a stencil should not be put back in it's origin

Thanks for the reply, how do people handle different packages then if you can't add new ones? If we had a 1206 sized inductor, then a 1206 sized ferrite bead and so on, they would all have to be grouped under the same generic heading? e.g. Chip-R321

| Does anyone have any experience they are willing to share on Ag epoxy used as a copper through hole plating replacement? Was CEM3 used? | What are the limitations? | Thanks, | Steve I have used silver epoxy extensively for conductive bonding applic

We are experiencing some difficulties with reflow soldering a 1210-sized MOV with silver/palladium finish. The PCB finish is SAC. When inspecting the board after reflow it seems that nearly all solder is gone both from the pads and the component term

Mario, Thanks for your response. We are building a leaded assembly with hot air leveled Sn/Pb pads on the PCB. In one case the component is a 7.5X5.2X1.8 wire wound ferrite inductor with Au/Sn leads. The second component is an 0808 Tantalum cap,

Since the inductor is electro-magnetic, that means the device is composite of coil and ferrite metal. The inductor inside the reflow oven meets with blower motors which close to the inductor and generate magnetic field. With such conditions, Lawren

You'd have more luck looking at where it is located in the circuit than posting a picture a of brown brick with contacts either end. Its fairly chunky so sure it could be a ferrite of some kind (but they are normally black) or indeed a Fuse, self re

Hello there! In one SMPS, I noticed a blown resistor with the following color code: yellow (4) Violet(7) Gold(?) Gold Black. I'm not sure what the value is. The dimensions of the resistor are those of a conventional MF0207 metal film resistor. I assu

I do not mean big, heavy transformers but rather small ferrite core transformers, with ferrites in the range of EF16 .. EF40. The weight of the lead and its percentage of the total weight is not the issue here. We simply do not want lead-containing t
