Hi. Can someone explain to me what coplanarity is? There are a few rather irritating and contradictory definitions of that term. When leads are coplanar - what are they then? Are they parallel to each other or not? Thanks, Marlies

Coplanarity also takes into consideration which is your reference plane. In the case of connectors, you can consider coplanarity between the highest and the lowest lead. Also, you can consider all the connector leads with reference to the connector

Let's look at it this way... Imagine a multileaded component sitting on a flat surface. If all the leads touch the flat surface, they are all in the same plane (that of the flat surface) and are coplanar. Coplanarity is desirable because if a lead is

Your real problem is further upstream. The limitations of your AOI aside, first find out why your leads are being lifted. Is it through handling or are they from the reel that way? To address your AOI question, Hegemon is correct, coplanarity inspe

JEDEC Standards allows max 4 mils lead coplanarity Gabe

Jeff, I guess my experience in such issues always took me back to the screen printing process and I only want to bring up that portion of the possible causes to this case. When we talk about coplanarity, the component lead coplanarity first comes t

Hi, I am an engineer based in Scotland, but have some IC's sitting with a company in the Boston area, that need checked for coplanarity. Does anybody know of a company/ lab with a lead inspection machine that they could be sent to? Regards, Dave.

I believe it would be easier to place and reflow the parts and then send them out for proper soldering.

Did check the coplanarity of the failed lead and found it to be as good as the wetting leads.
