Hi There, I used to have a similar problem with all of our new heller ovens. I converted them with fan blower controller kit. It is really easy to do or you can have done. Its about $900/oven. For now if you do not feel like investing any money , go

I am posting this here because I think it may have something to do with PCBA: I have a simple battery-powered consumer product (LED light) that we have been manufacturing for some time. All of a sudden in one batch, we have about a 4% rate of a sing

And that is where I see the problem. When companies have failures that are unexplained they blame ESD. It’s the scapegoat failure. And the industry through fear has us so paranoid We have companies worrying whether if your hair is 2 inches long or 3

Sal, Interesting problem, I have found that W.S. pastes tend to have a shorter tack time in real life than what is advertised. Usually the manufacturers specify tack time as after placement let the board sit and then turn it upside down and see if

LarryP, ESD smocks in combination with a wrist strap provide a path to ground for any charge potential. An operator wearing a smock while grounded will provide a path to ground for the chair. With an ESD chair you can have antistatic or static
