What are the defects you see when the stencil is over 50 n/cm? I can't recall ever seeing a (stencil caused) defect that wasn't a dent, ding or some other physical damage, and I would have a very hard time sending back a stencil that is working fine,

Lets get to the simple things. Wave or Reflow? Wave soldered parts have a higher susceptibility to physical damage until they are waved. That�s were I normally see this type of break. Usually, the crack is a circular pattern in the cap if it�s fr

Allowing a part to go over the board boundaries can cause collisions when boards are nested. The software on these machines has limitations but it is plenty capable and rooted in preventing physical damage to the machine. Once you are familiar with t

I am looking for some details about the failure modes in popcorned components. Does the component usually fail to operate. Is the damage likely to extend to the gold bond, wires, or substrate. We have experienced a high failure rate on a subset of

We have seen a similar problem. Turned out to be mechanical stress on the component caused by the method of location and clamping at ICT. Where is the component located on the assembly? Poorly adjusted clamping pillars on clamshell fixtures can cause

We have an MPM UP2000 stencil printer and have a lot of issues with burned out 6410 driver cards (or driver cards just failing to work). I have looked over these threads and found that this is a common issue with these cards. I understand that thes

Your image does not clearly explain the problem. However, I can see a good heel fillet formation at the joint. In general, TSOP leads are delicate and should handled with immense caution and good ESD protection. First let us be clear that any "rework

Q1. Can anyone tell me if there is a procedure for storing raw PCB's? A1. Yes, there are thousands of procedures for storing raw PCB. Why so many? Everyone writes their own procedure. Generally, they say: * Boards require individual separation and p
