I used to work for an OEM that made professional audio equipment (studio monitors, mixing boards, etc.). The mixers required precise alignment of LEDs, switches, and pots in the sheet metal so we used aluminum alignment fixtures during wave solder. T

We have a Glenbrook Jewel Box 70T, purchased about 5 years ago, Think it was around $60K quoted price (we traded in our old Glenbrook for a discount), Software pretty basic, can store images and has some graphics and image processing capability. It h

Hi all. A recent board has shown some issues with graping and non-wetting on some 0402 capacitors. I believe we have the issue sorted. A combination of a 4 mil stencil with 2 mil reduction not giving us enough paste, and too long of a soak profile.

Is below the correct interpretation of IPC 610/JSTD requirements for FLAT LUG LEADS (seen on USBs and Diodes mainly) For class 1 or 2, no toe wetting would be required as minimum side joint is only 'evident wetting' and no actual length or fillet he

| Hello everyone, | I am currently running a gold plated SMT board and am experiencing tiny solder balls between the pads and the masking between the 20 mil pitch devices. I'm looking at these boards with a 60x microscope. IPC-610 say's any visible s

Has any one experienced hand soldering through hole components to white tin plated PCB's using no-clean wire solder? Our facility is presently evaluating white tin vs Sn/Pb coatings. Our only difficulty at this time has been hand soldering of wires

| Recently, there has been an upsurge in the Pin Hole/Blow Hole problem in our wave soldering process. We are baking the PCBs for 2 Hrs. at 125 degree C. The Wave Soldering profile seems to be O.K. Still the problem is persistent. Can somebody hel

| Where I'm located, we call it OCC. By any other name would it smell/stink as sweet? | | I need to know, though it's been overworked, who has experience with OSP and its compatibility with water and IPA no-clean, VOC no-clean, and device adhesives

We have a new assembly with bottom side components, and all the chip caps and resistors are 0603s. The dog boned shape of the caps necessitates a pretty big (and tall) dot to hold them still during placement, and when they get placed the dot squishe
