We have to place some LCC208's. The terminations are flush with the underside of the package, on an 0.5mm pitch. The pads on the board are flat tin. We'd like to get the part up in the air a little to provide some clearance for cleaning. Is there a w

I too have followed all of the useful suggestions provided herein. I still found some tombstoning which was specific to a manufacturers lot. I changed the reel to another brand and the problem went away. I suspect contamination or oxidation on the co

I am looking at assembling a relatively small baord, but it is very thin and precise. It is .010" FR4, with 1oz copper two sides. ** Components are only on one side** It has some 0201's and a .4mm pitch BGA among other leadless packages. Where

If your flex circuit is only populated on one side, you can have the PCB vendor palletize the flex for you. What you do is have the flex circuit laminated to 062" FR4 using a thermoset adhesive like Dupont WA. Standard flex circuit adhesive. Howev

Steve, This is a good, well repeated, not identified by IPC yet issue. I, and some others in industry, for years have proven and recommended smaller pads for various devices. I, and some others in industry, use 0402 pads for 0603 device types. IPC o

Hi.. Recently, I have received a few reels of 0402 with an old date code ( but still less than 2 years old).I don't have a capability in-house to carry out the solderability test except for the dipping test ( dip the components in the molten solder
