Heat cycles deplete the pure tin layer. Each solder cycle reduces the tin thickness by ~0.1 micron (4 uin). So, if you start with a thin imm tin coating you'll have problems after multiple heat cycles. Steve Wentz says, "In almost every case I've

I'm looking for an RH meter for monitoring of a component drybox. Our target is to maintain 0-1% RH. I've looked at many different units and none of them have the required accuracy. +/-2% is the best I've been able to find with units capable of me

Our people have EXCELLENT reading skills, and for some stuff I do have a list of the order to assemble the parts, with some tricks, etc. called out. But, a color-coded assembly drawing is what we use the most. I use Sharpie markers to color-code th
