Fred, We receive ENIG pcbs in vac-formed bubble wrap with ,of all things, polstyrene packing! Despite my long-lasting complaints nothing has changed. BUT - I have never really had a problem with any of these PCBS. There are no moisture, salt or any o

Hi Mika, We had roughly the same set up - AP27 -CP6x2, GSMx2, VIP98 & we ran the thin boards with durastone routed pallets. If you route out a 0.4mm pocket on the pallet and either use kapton tape/high temp masking tape/ or 3M spraymount to hold

I would try to panelize as big as you can for sure as you'll spend more time handling single boards than running anything. Additionally, this size is very close to smallest capabilities on GSM depending on your configuration. Fids on all boards in

All, We are a contract manuf. for electronics. Since changeover to RoHS we still have customers due to one thing or the other telling us to run Non-RoHS. They are not exempt. What do we do ? do we tell them that we are not running their boards and

Steve is right, why risk cross contamination and suffer real legal battles from your RoHS customers you guarantee lead free to. Al is also right. If your customer knows they are pulling the wool over the RoHS watchful eyes, why would you want to

Thanks "j". There is absolutely no support for Fuji in New Zealand or for the older IP-1 and MCS/2 programming computer. We got the machine working by studying the FIP-1 Operation Manual and the MCS/2 Programming manual and a lot of trial and error

Bert, Hopefully the MCS still has PD's from Fuji or the previous user. The Transverse rate IP set in them should be a good guide for any new PD's you may need to make. This speed is usually set as high as possible and still get accurate placements

We have a new product that uses an SMT edge connector. The process we are using is as follows: -Screen print side 1 (no paste on connector pads) -Place Rs & Cs -Reflow -Screen print side 2 (paste on connector pads) -Slide connector into side 2 wet

yes there is Caveman, (well maybe depending on your circumstances) you need to purchase a manual printer and print the connector then flip and print the other side. (you need a manual printer so you can print after the parts have nbeen reflowed, we
