Hi Jason I think Wolfgang has this one nailed. If it's the same four pins every time and nothing changes this, even rotating the board 90 degrees, then you're probably going to find something like a ground plane connected to them. I don't think sol

I think you could look at the phenomena in two dimensions. Many of the sub-contractors in Asia are focus on low price-less demanding products. They hire operators to visually inspect the boards and sometime there is no inspection at all. On one ha

HASL plating, by its very nature, is inconsistent in terms of thickness and consistency. The plating varies from spot to spot on the pad, as well as pad to pad. This will wreak havoc on your screen printing process and your placement. From talking

Frank: Good luck on finding a specification. The right combination of material properties will greatly improve the lifetime of your flip chip component. Your flip chip supplier might be best starting place to determine underfill properties that ma

Hi Raeto, 1. You do not have reflow oven. This means that you are not running Surface Mount Technology in your shop floor...am I correct? Why do you plan to have SMD's under your PCB's ? Can't you replace them with their PTH counter part and have th

Hi Peter, The Disk you are refering to can be outsourced from several different vendors. The thing to be careful with is getting a consistant colored disk. You don't want to have etc... some dull/bright..etc. We have found one local vendor we use.

I am new to wave soldering. Any information is greatly welcomed. Here is the problem. After soldering the boards they have a film on the bottom of them and sometimes a white powder looking substance. I have tried decreasing the amount of flux on

You asked about info on a line. The only responses have been on a single machine. What type processes are involved? Are you doing a mixed technology application? UIC has probably one of the best technology application labs in the business. But all of
