Has anybody had to wave solder components after PEM hardware has been installed to the wave side of the board? Design constraints on the product force us to do this, and we need to determine a method to mask the PEM's. Anybody try hi-temp boots / C

If PCB board size is my constraint ....and I have designed my circuit ... 1. How to optimize the layout of design for smaller space? 2. How to run simulations if any to do intelligent SI test? Does packages by Cadence, Mentor support this kind of o

I agree with the one that says Fire them, but I do not have the authority to do so, but I know someone who does. I think our problem is that it is hard to find someone with SMT experience so we are stuck with what we have. Now if I was boss, trust

You're right! Whether "Pattern matching" or "Pixel recognition", in both cases, it is the operating person who will make an inference from the results obtained. This makes IPC knowledge the key to AOI usage. "Quality" is never introduced into a pro

Hi, We have a board with over 100 chips (mixed size) and some long Connector DIP through out Wave solder with many issues of no solder and solder bridge, (using clean flux with bubble fluxer and Kester solder bar). Currently we tried to reduce the de

No clean and foam fluxing is not a very good process from my experience. I know that the flux manufacturers claim that they are suitable but I am not sure what "suitable" means. I would bet that you have very inconsistant flux coverage. How often
