Q1: How many mils the gap between the terminal and pad? A1: It depends on properties of the glue and z-force when the component is placed by the assembler. Q2: Your practice is for technology SMT-4? A2: We don't understand SMT4. We know that very sm

Q: The question I have is do they wet in wave solder, and if they do, why does it matter what happens to them in reflow? A: Yes, but somebody here don't agree with me that the glued part need help from wave to get the good wetting. They are wrong

That is a tough situation and a tough answer for us SMT forum participants. After all, most of us are in the business of placing and soldering components to circuit boards, and you know the saying; you can't make solder joints with an unsolderable su

CRITICAL DILEMA! Has anyone run into the problem described below and if so, what was the fix (besides not dealing with this Supplier)? Also, we do not have component manufacturing process experience. We are purchasing a surge resistor that function

| I recently had the opportunity to visit the vendor who is making my boards. On my trip I noticed that the guy who was in charge of the SMD placement machine (brand new Samsung) still had to manuallly place about 20%-40% of the parts after placement

There a number of studies like this published by component fabricators. Many can be found on the net. For instance: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/Pb-free_Board-level_reliability_study.pdf

Shy: You say, "I've already done some evaluation to reduce the heigh of the glue but it fails at wave solder which cause the component to be drop/missing." Based on your evaluation, questions are: * What is the relation between component standoff an

Sure, if you slopper or schmush chipbonder onto pads, solder will not take on that portion of the pad, regardless of the component.

We put glue on the bottom of the board that already has the topside SMT mounted. We populate the board. We put it through a cure profile. At this stage the topside components are soldered on. The bottom side components are glued on with NO solder on
