In general I agree with Dave and Chris, but some parts have leads that can't be clinched (connectors, some header sticks, etc.). If the problem part has not been a floater in the past, then check the lead finish and your flux application. A bad finis

Ok, help me out here guys and gals...... I have never understood the concept of scoring on mixed technology or SMT boards. It is quite obvious to me that the potential for SMT solder joint damage through the mechanical stresses of breakout are high.

No, I haven't even gotten around to formulating my test plan (what PCB to use, what lab to use, etc, etc,...ad nauseum), let alone convince my company that we need to do it. I also got caught up in another extremely tight deadline project and haven

There is no spec because solder is designed to provide an electrical connection not a mechanical connection to hold the part on. If it where mechanical we�d be welding our parts on. Your pad width and length are derived from your component manufact

What type of hardware are you looking for? Nuts and bolts? Custom machined/stamped parts? In general, stainless steel is usually considered RoHS, but more expensive. However, medical equipment usually uses things like stainless steel. However, som
