I have a component manufacturer that is using Sn/Ag/Cu plating on chip caps and resistors. Does anyone have any information on compatability with Sn/Pb paste. Are any changes in profile required? Is the reliability of the solder joint at risk? Tony

| Hi Folks, | This is my first surface mount board, so I asked our assembly house for some tips. They said only passives on the bottom side-preferably no smaller than 0805, 0603 only if I have to. I would think that an SOT-23 would be OK on the botto

The play of the tape is quite significant as I mentioned in an earlier thread. Tape width can vary between 8.1 +/- 0.2mm. Demos on 0201's are most likely done with 8.1 +/- 0.05mm tape. I guess you are referring to the cover tape pull, which can dispo

Hi All: Can you tell me specifically if you converted an exiting product made with Clean process using WS609 or compatible to 'No-Clean' process. We have to convert assemblies from current clean process at a CEM to No-Clean process in our own factor

Wow, a lot of questions here...and you are definitely doing some "tough sledding". To the point. If you have 3 - 22" zones you'll have to calc your belt speed and temperatures to match the solder paste requirements with regard to flux activation an
