All, We are planning to place a daughter board that has a surface mount relay reflowed onto it already. The reason for doing this is a bit complicated and not worth noting here. The process would consist of first placing the SMT relays onto a mult

We are having difficulty with thermal deformation of these AMP surface mount connectors. It is a RoHS compliant part, but only rated to withstand 245c for 10-30 seconds. Even at this temperature, we are seeing PLASTIC deforming which prevents mating

I need ideas for mounting without a connector a small pwa daughter card vertically to another pwa. I have seen u shaped clips for the edge of the card which allow you to insert and wave solder the card into the mother board. How are these clips atom

Wendy, I've done this before using a machined piece of FR4 material to hold the board (machined like a DEK plate )in place at the press . It ensures that the boards are alway's in the right place and that none of the components are damaged..also sto

Hello Mr. Peterson, I don't know where you're writing from, but if you're more than 25 miles from Rhode Island, I'll humbly and graciously accept the "expert" title. In general, I have to say that the backpanel removal tools are worth the money. As
