Hi MK, It not really as simple as changing from one to the other. VIA hole, PTH hole sizes may need to be changed. Really the designer should re-evalaute the board before changing. Also remember your soldering profiles, both reflow and wave (if appl

I have never seen that occur when using gold plating vs. HASL. I am a big fan of the gold process and have achieved very consistent quality. Did the board vender do an impedance measure to validate you design?

We had a similar problem with components being out of spec, course our problem was that they were coming in out of spec, not being damaged by our process. Do you do any incoming inspection?

Are you no clean or WS? Have you used a MultiMeter to verify the ICT failures? Maybe the components are fine but the pins are contaminated. Or the test points. Don't have any reason to suspect that due to HASL vs gold. It's just I don't trust data o

-Cartridges will fit an auto dispenser on the screen printer or a hand dispenser. Will waste some paste at the bottom of the cartridge. -Jars will be a little harder to deal with. They are messy. Can get all but the last couple of grams of the pas

My operators much prefer the cartridges. Better control of application and a lot less messy. The paste seems to even print better. We used jars for seven+ years, would really hate to go back to them.

Try reoptimizing your line. I used to be a Philips and Mydata fan, but when I saw what the Fuji could do, those M and P do not hold a candle to the Fuji. Mydata will only save you on change over time.

Mark - I think everyone is directing you to stay with Fuji. Besides, BEI has had Fuji Equipment for years. :)

Would anybody like to tell me which is the best show. Reson for asking is I am in South Africa and cannot attend both (time/cost etc!) We are a contract facility and I therefore would like to attend a show that has as broad a scope as possible. Hope

The most economical way is to look at each others web site and look at the co's that have pre-registered and the booth #'s they are registered to. This would be a non bias approach. This would allow you the opportunity to see if the co's that interes
