Preheating sounds good to me. Look here to get started http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=1619&#Message6792& While little of this applies to inorganic boards, it doesn't a rocket scientist to make the e

You guys treat this profiling nonsense like rocket science. Here's how easy it is to "reflow" and "profile". http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/200006/oven_art.htm

European rocket science!!!! A 189 page report to conclude that if you ban something you will use less of it. http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/environment/reports_studies/studies/draft_rep_study_rohs_directive_dec07.pdf

Hey, I'd try it. Well maybe not me personally, but one of the peeps, one with some touch and skill. Buying, setting-up and using a hot bar soldering machine is not rocket science, but who needs it, if you don't have to?

AOI systems are a LONG way from being practical. You might impress potential customers (if you are a contract manufacturer) But they are basically an over-priced gimmick. Get your processes in line, buy a good 3D paste height checker, verify componen

Dave Thanks, some very interesting articles on that link, it really is rocket science! However this article is a bit of a tease, it tells you how they compared different package types, CBGAs and PBGAs and a fine pitch QFP but does not detail the

Not to be off-topic, but push engineering for embedded passives and remove parts from the underside all together. Watch the material cost sky rocket, but watch the manufacturing cost sink and well as improve the production cycle by 50%. Sorry, I w

Gabe, Interesting, I have never encountered that before. Why would you think we have never seen it? I would think that the increase in wetting would help "pull" the solder onto the leads reducing bridging. Am I wrong? Russ (not a rocket scientis

"Many manufacturers charge to register their equipment prior to selling parts or providing service." True, but in most cases those fees might actually net something you can't get somewhere else, like some technical expertise. C'mon, it's not like th

I guess if you never actually had the responsibility of really building any product,this may look like rocket science. It does sound like a great theory. But just like the Segway, under the right conditions, for just a few instances, it may fit a s
