This provides LT 3 misses /1M hits. * Probe all points on one side of the board. Bonus => This lower fixture cost. * Test pads and vias: GT 25 thou from other land traces. * Small [LT 5 ohm] resistor measurements: Use two pads at each end and do 4-

Bismuth is a low-melting metal with poor mechanical properties; if you melt the bismuth wire into a standard tin-lead solder joint, then the bismuth alloys with the solder, and forms a material that will crumble if you scrape it with your fingernail.

Would be glad to offer some assistance, but I've got a couple of questions first: 1) What type of supplemental flux are you using? (If any) 2) Is your problem consistent across all assemblers, or can you trace the assemblies with solder ball issues b

No we have a battery spring that is soldered directly to a PCB (standard tin plated copper PCB). The Battery spring supplier (and I have no confirmation he makes them or buys them) claims they are tin plated. When trying to solder to them it is very

Hello, I am looking for the name of a type of connector that connects wires on one side and simply slides on the side of a PCB to connect. The PCB has copper lines on the surface (so no connector part rigidly mounted to the PCB). Can anyone help me

1. To protect the nickel and copper under gold plating from oxidization before soldering. Gold plating can extend the PCB self-life and improve the solderability for 2nd re-flow. 2. Provide a good bonding strength. For Chip on Board process that Gol

Resistance: Tables of wire gauge often provide a resistance measure of some kind for each gauge. That way we can estimate the resistance of any length of wire we might be interested in. Calculating trace resistance is only slightly more complicated.

Grant has a good idea, we started that way also. We made a tank out of stainless steel with copper tube coils about 18" off the bottom. Circulate cold water through the tubes to condense the vapor to keep the loss down. We used electric burners under

warning - not all stainless steels are non-magnetic! Quite a few alloys are magnetic, some as highly magnetic as ordinary steel. One quick test is to demagnetize the jaws. If you can find one of the old-style Weller soldering guns with the copper
