Chrissie, what type of equipment do you have? Is your tape PSA (pressure sensitive) or HSA (heat sensitive)? Jason

Jason, From what i can gather it's a bit of both. The feeders are the siemens sliplace feeders. What it seems to me is that we have gone for the cheapest option of parts and they aren't good enough. Nobody appears to have written this down though!! C

If you are referring to SMT chip components, 3-5% is the norm. BUt for some critical items like IC it usually applied as one to one exchanged if it is the component's defects. If the defects cause by processes, then manufacturer had to replace you .

I recently ran a process evaluation (Print/ P&P /Reflow) and was plesently surprised with a 5.0 sigma process or 250ppm. Attrition was under 1%. Keep in mind this is defects counted Post-reflow. The most signifficant defect was tombstoning / draw-

Crishan, You must be seeing an incredible amount of Attrition on this component if this is the case. You should most definitely be able to put in a Pick-up offset either at the machine or in the part data. aj

Brad We agree with Rob. Even if the fab marks the fids [on both sides] to reduce component attrition, you'd be surprised in the amount of paste that 'disappears' on x-out boards. Do the numbers [follow the money].

Your goal is worthy, but we'd be concerned about Palm handheld population attrition.

Hello everyone, May i know what is the acceptable component throwout rate/percentage for a smt machine(chip shooter and chip placer)in the industry today?

Search on Attrition, I think most companies start around 2% across the board. I have adjusted mine higher for 0603, and parts where I experience tape issues constantly. We are running parts with date codes back 2006,2008.
