We are looking for a tool to perform BOM comparisons. I know that Aegis and Valor provide this capability within their CAM offerings. I'm trying to find something that I don't need infrastructure to utilize and won't break the bank. Anyone who use

You might want to check out http://www.ultraedit.com they have a comparison program that can compare up to 3 files at a time as well as append them and a bunch of other neat stuff. You can get it bundled with some other great text editors etc. for ab

I've been using an Excel plugin called Synkronizer with a LOT of success. I export a BOM from Orcad, 1 part/ref per line (2 columns), for each product I want to compare. Synkronizer does the rest - highlighting in different colors for deletions, va

In two years of exporting bills of material from Orcad into the Synkronizer plugin in Excel, I have never seen an issue related to the software. Sure, some custom-written piece of software might incorporate an extra feature or two, but looking at it

Synkronizer sounds like a great idea, but what do you do if your BOMs incorporate more than one component ref per line (as in our case), often with different kinds of notation for a sequence of components. You need some kind of parser in order to spl

The kester better known as KY'd Sn/Cu has more copper intermetallic growth over time, dissolves copper from the board faster so repairing and touchup can damage board. Bridges more than SN100c. Does not thermal cycle well. Has shrink cracks that can

Sometimes when I go fishing i'll use lead on the end of the line, just above the hook, so that the bait is going to the bottom or at least very deep into the lake. At work however, lead is a non wanted product. Well, I don't mix work and pleaure...

Take some of your boards along & run them. Try the same with the other alloys and see which suits your products best (make sure you make a note of the fluxes being used, and if the machines have similar preheats, nitrogen etc than yours).

Hello, Heres my take. If the ends that are touching are connected by trace, and IPC-610 is satisfied, and the connection does not make a Parallel circuit where a series circuit is required, then I would treat it as a process indicator. That is, unle

Thanks for the replies, fellas. Pretty much what I'd thought too, but you know, when it just doesn' LOOK right.... "the .010" spacing is a violation of IPC 782" Not my problem. ;) You should see the decal they're using for the Xilinx PQFP 208. No
