One of my customers is requiring to drag a pick (Menda) on 100% of fine pitch leads. This is old practice and we got rid of this long long time ago because it causes more problem than fix such as joint damages, abrasion of pick, control of the pick a

SMT Maestro is long gone from the wider web. You have to beg those of us who have a copy to share a link or find one of the previously shared links in this forum and see if it is still active. Technically this basic requirement is not that difficult

Hi, It seems weird that an automated pick and place machine at a board shop would not be up to NASA standards, but placing the components by hand would be. However most SMT will self center a bit, so if your close enough, you should be ok. You rea

Hi everyone: Our company is trying out immersion white tin for fine pitch assembly with what I would call mixed results. Reflow solder looks very good, but wave solder looks somewhat grainy (this may not be a problem in actuality). We had dewettin

| We've noticed that there are many different recommendations for pad sizes for various SMT parts. This seems to vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer for the same case sizes. Is there any standards that can used used to specify these sizes

Hey Pat: My responses are: 1. Does anyone have experience with the shelf life on immersion white tin? If so, how long can the boards be stored without adversely affecting solderability. I've heard one year. No, we don�t, because we turn boards fa
