Hi, We have been manufacturing a PCB, however it's been quite tricky to profile, as the edges of the PCB are reflowing before the center of the PCB. I have looked at the design, and there is a small power plane for 2.5 Volt in the center of the PCB

Grant, The board maybe the problem but how is your oven working? Is it a convection oven and how many zones (top and bottom)? What does your profile look like? If you are unsure and if you only have one oven, send your board to Soltec or Electrovert

Hi, Thanks for the info. We are reflowing the boards, but just barely. Sometimes we get the QFP in the middle of the copper area not reflowing, and it's pain. The joints are dry, and I am not sure if it's caused by lack of heat, or the flux going ba

Large copper pours create an unbalanced lay-up that is bad design practice, creating problems in fabrication and assembly. The hatching a previous poster mentioned could be an alternative. Stepping back a bit and wondering, what's the problem? You

HI i try to figure how the "Manual load adapter" work on a T3 Table machine ? seem that the table always try to move the board to the the left sensor location ,but if i use the magnet manual table it will never find the board on the table convey

The impact of course is a lot less for newer PnP, but for older machine there might be different story. What if the bad marks not being read correctly? The result would be "good" board being skipped, while "X-out" being loaded. That would waste mu

Hi SMT World, I am facing a technical challenge related to an SOIC 14lds with thermal pad on it's belly that needs to be soldered onto PCB, together with leads. It is a 50 per board, expected 80% solder load on every one. We have some units without

also think of the space u can save by getting rid of the stencils and reduction in set-up time (no more stencil/blade cleening, just load the file)

We had a "Spring loaded" fixture that pulled the Flex tight and used loads of Board supports. There were pins that went through the Connectors holes and held the flex firm. We only had a few components so it was no problem. Lucky for us because the f

Some times the PCB manufacture sends PCB panels with bad circuits, there are three ways to make these PCB without placing parts on the bad circuit, Well two in fact plus my method. (1) Placing a light mark on a dark background (or reverse) then the
