The chip resistors are placed on the edge of the board, but the board has no or enough waste tabs. When de-panelizing, the bits may contact and break them. You can use a smt carrier, or add waste tabs in your next assembly manufacturing.

I'll try swaping cards and see if the problem follows the card. So far, my guess would be the motor going bad. I did change the brushes, X wagon cables and every cable that goes to the midas unit. But that didn't fix it. The problem is that to replac

Cracked capacitors usually are not found at ICT. Unless the cap is completely cracked, the capacitance may not change much, and the usual failure mode is a leakage current. This is usually only seen in ESS type testing, when temperature and humidit

I snapped a board in half at a cracked solder joint, and the component pulled free of the solder and still has a very thin layer of metal on the termination end. Based on the construction spec.(solder over nickel over palladium), it looks like it

| A buddy of mine has problems after depaneling double sided pre-scored PCB's. Resistors near the edge, after put into the slice and dice machine contain micro cracks. He's checked for them before and after depaneling. We figure it is the sectioni

Typically on my company's Mirtec systems, any anomalies, such as cracks, chips, etc. on chip capacitors and chip resistors are going to be detected with just a basic mounting inspector. We have a full image of the part (solder joint not included) as

We are finding solder shorts under 1206 Components on the bottom side of our boards.In all cases these shorts are from either side of the component to a feed-thru under the component body. Adhesive is used to glue down the component and then the boar

This could also be caused by a bad PD. What vision are you using for the Resistor Networks? I am assuming the you are talking about small flat packs about 3.3mm x 1.6mm? I use vision type 12 and just use the body size. (wide view). And 100% cam speed

Hi, There are QFN 32,40,48 pins with middle pad. Body size are 7x7 and pitch 0.5mm. I means as compared to 2 sided package, QFN are easily damaged by external mechanical / thermal force. Phenomenon observed are mold cap open which further caused wire

It takes time for the moisture to penetrate into the body. I think the 5 years of ambient would be more the culprit than washing the boards. Especially since you are baking them after wash. Get a few of the ICs and put them loose on a board and put
