First all, you must define the specific defects that you wanted to screen out by your AOI system based on its capability, so you can allocate the undetected defects on your other means of inspection methodology. Then optimize your AOI inspection para

Afternoon all, wondering if anyone can suggest a process for the localized removal of silk screen wording from a PCB. I have tried using a scalpel successfully but that it too time consuming and prone to error if an operator were to do it. Obviously

As part of the IPC-4552 specification testing, they ran ENIG at 2 uinches for 1.5 million cycles for a membrane-type keypad application [there was no testing for the wiping-type switches]. They stopped testing when the membrane began breaking down. T

What paste are using? You should referance the manufactures time and temperature specification. Running lead-free in a 5 zone oven can be done with out a problem but it is not production friendly. If you are concerned with through put I would look fo

my oven has a built in profiler, it works fairly well, but it can not predict changes. my main concern was about the time right before reflow. i know that's where the flux is activated and i was worried that i may be spending too much time at the tem

You can keep only the 5th zone as the reflow zone. And lower the first two zones to keep a good ramping rate. Meanwhile,please note the ting temperature in software or control panel is not the exact temperature in your PCB, you'd better get a KIC or

Is there a limit to the time that most components can stay at temperatures around 130-200 deg c? if i slow the time, the first 4 zones will be at this temp for about 5 minutes in no lead process. i am concerned that some chips wont be rated at this t

Beyond the materials cost, one approach to estimating the cost of assembling a board is: 1 Direct cost * Determine the processes required to assemble the board * Separate parts on BOM according to process * Multiply number of parts in each process by
