Hi, My experience in the past has been predominantly with Fuji, Universal and Siemens. I categorise each of these systems in different ways; 1) If I want bombproof reliability - I Choose fuji. There tough mechanical design ensures operation time

Hi, Need some assitance from people that have experience with qualification for Lead-Free SMT process. We are in a phase to qualify Lead-Free process to one of our new product. The BOM - build of material is complete but we missing some passive com

we have just started wave soldering passive SMT components and through hole. We are having trouble with voids on the SMT components. It is very random, but effects a lot of TSOT's. We are using an electrovert with a chip wave. Are there any obvio

Up! Thanks anyway for your answer Lynn. But I'm still in the issue regarding the assembly of passive components on substrat with conductive adhesive. We hardly reach the minimum specifications of shear strengh for each component we use (1206, 0805

This issue is coming from a customer. The customer demands that we do not mechanically center or test passive components, because of issues they had in the past. There has been a studies that it takes about 8-10 newtons to damage chip. Most of our pa

Well it looks like you answered you own question. Why would you send the component out for cross section. Why wouldn't you try a different manufacture, assuming you have already used different date codes on this supplier. Is your company contract man

Kevin, There are a number of custom integrated systems that perform automated insertion of "odd" components. These system use either a robot or cantilevered X,Y,Z Cartesian motion systems. Our systems have accepted standard and custom component feede

TL;DR: I like internal part numbering systems for passive chips and the like, and keeping MPNs for active components (or components with many variants and/or options that could be easily confused as equivalents). I've always been a fan of internal

| Yes, norm it is. Look back to February 98 :discussion on this issue. Norm, That discussion does deal with palladium coated leads, but when I read your statement about silver/palladium fired terminations, I'm assuming that you're referring to

Hi, It's both really, and we are doing higher volume of current products, but new products are increasing in component count, mostly passives. We have analog on our products, and this uses a lot of passives, plus each semiconductor needs decoupling
