We are a small division. We are starting up a leadless line with an old screen printer and a convection oven. At this time we don't intend to get any sort of pick and place assistance and wil be loading by hand. We find the biggest problem with th

We had to use a bin and dip bottom of board in it once when we we're waiting for a replacement part. Worked ok for what it was anyway.

Hi to everyone, I have a bad situation here, I'm getting a wave solder back to life and I realized that my automatic fluxer is no longer working (some parts seems to dissapear), I already look for a new one, but I will get approval untill year end, s

My own preference in this arena is towards the forced air convection style preheat, the key being the forced air. Radiant preheat is too slow for some, and IR preheat can have other issues that convection (or radiant) will not. Zephyrtronics has bee

Thanks for the advice. We have only done one PCB > with HMP solder and did not use preheating, but > I've been wondering if it would have been helpful > since we had some trouble getting the solder to > flow. If you have any more specific advice

Clarissa, Dave had good suggestions. We load several boards manual at this time. We set our components up in clearly marked bins. The documentation includes a chart with the part number, bin number, reference designator and color code for the par

| Mario: Interesting analysis. What does "Hand placement versus wrong component should only ave. 20-30 ppm." mean? Is that a subset of errors? Thanks. Dave F | What I mean Dave is that if you have a good (well actualy a great set-up) with all t

| Hi, | | For hand placement you should see about 150-200 ppm of errors (solder, placement, values etc) on a board populated of types such as 1206, 0805, SOT, Tantalum etc. . As for solely wrong components (component at wrong location) you can usual
