Problem was bad FCU board; replaced with FCU from another machine and swapped rom chips. Oven operates properly and communicates with PC. BTU was kind enough to supply the default usernames and passwords for wincon but they did not work. Still waiti

Thanks for your replies. Customer designed this so we can offer them feedback on the design. Pin manufacturer said most likely too much paste as well. Reducing apeture size would be the easiest solution there. We are running a VIP70 oven with chain r

Can someone explain the difference between solder "fines" and solder balls? Is there an official specification where "fines" are defined? What is the spec for "fines"? I consider "fines" individual unmelted metal spheres that are found in solder

OK, OK. 672 ball BGA. The pcbs are PC Card bus size and are .015 thick. There are 3 on a panel with about 1/2" between and rails. The aluminum plates are about 3" by 7". There are 3 cutouts which allow for the parts from either side to protrude du
