Is this a new assembly/new test fixture/program? Or is this an existing assembly that is suddenly exhibiting this failure? Capacitors measured in circuit will not necessarily measure their correct values. Active components in circuit will be affec

We have a system where when we set up the line to run a job before the first part is placed an auditor verifies we have all the correct parts loaded on the machines in thier correct locations. We then run a first article. The board is inspected to in

our boards have many smd pads that has vias under them so when the screen printer wants to print the solder paste on it , it will penetrate through the via to the bottom side of the board and cause many problem for us . i want to know that is it sta

Hi, What size via's are you guys seeing, as the ones in our products are incredibly tiny, and via's are very small now days. The via's on the boards we have are dramatically smaller than the pad on an 0402. Grant

Question: We have an issue right know on a prototype batch with via in the pad on an very small pcb 50x50mm (in a panel of course). The designer has no room to move the vias as they said. The pcb is to packed with components also 8-layers. It is also

I do think that the designer goofed, and used too large vias. I believe he only used on size via on the entire board, regardless of whether it was in a pad, or out on the board. I have seen vias in pad work, though. From a manufacturing standpoint

From a manufacturing standpoint, this isn't very nice. Vias will tend to wick solder away from the pad, resulting in insuficient solder joints, which require touch-up. The amount of times any solder joint is reheated should be minimized, as extra h

There a several things you can do to prevent the solder wicking down the hole with the current design, and that's where you should focus. Cost goes up as you go down the list, but in neither case do you need to respin the board, have solder starvatio

Hello, On customer want to make a aluminium board. It will have SMD Led on it. Like I never "played" with this before can someone tell me what I know to know on that new thing. What kind of reflow profile we need. What just I be aware of, is

Hi, I'm looking for vendors that manufacture connector pins that would solder onto the edge of a small SMD pcb so that I can mount it as a SIP onto a larger PCB. Better yet, are there small diameter pins that can be soldered into thru-holes so the SM
