When it comes to how much epoxy [aka. "glue"] to dispense to hold a IC or any part with significant mass, on the bottom of a board for wave soldering, is more better? The way I see it, one good dot should be holding such a part on the PCB. If not, th

Good ol' Yankee engineering always says "More is better" You have got to be careful that with more epoxy volume you run the risk of the epoxy merging with solder paste if you are using a glue and paste process. In addition, if the epoxy can spread o

Chalk this one up to semantics. Regardless of when you start pumping (do you use a needle with a foot? In that case the pump will run when the foot touches the board), your volume of epoxy is the same. You just have less room for it where there is si

Hello everyone, Your chief variable here is going to be your epoxy. Different materials react accordingly to various inspection methods but, DEPENDING on your print parameters and material, you may be able to utilize an inline inspection machine.

Specifications of testing force are not fixed, but (incase of wave soldering) the value should be at least 120-150 % of the force the wave. So for small chip components we assume that the force from the wave on the component is about 3 Newton, this m

| I recently had the opportunity to visit the vendor who is making my boards. On my trip I noticed that the guy who was in charge of the SMD placement machine (brand new Samsung) still had to manuallly place about 20%-40% of the parts after placement

Continuing the line of Michael's, the previous poster, comments ... The more Krispy Kremes, the better. Yeth!!! The more beer, the better. Yeth!!! The more epoxy, the better. Uh, I don think so!!! We look at this from a papa bear, mama bear, bab

Is there a specific epoxy that is most suitable for sealing a polycarbonate chamber, which will have hydrogen flowing through it at no greater than 10psi? Can any epoxy that provides a watertight seal be used for hydrogen applications? We have th

I would bet that it is a SMT adhesive used to ensure that the BGA does not move during a secoindary reflow prcess. this glue is easily removed with a soldering iron. Russ
