I'm trying to find out what is considered a standard or what other companies are doing to test their cuircuit boards. Is everyone using a envirmental room if so what is the ramp up and how long do you test it? Thanks

Thanks Dave F for you 2 cents. You bring up some important points that what one person is doing isn't neccesary right for us. Someone might burn in their boards for 10 hours in temperature but their ramp time is only an hour versus someone else is

Leslie: Product screens and tests of prototypes and test vehicles should be tailored for the specific goal and product. I caution your use of equations and test condition information without specific use environments and design conditions. Lawyer:

I have some general questions about new product introduction: 1. How much capacity on the average is committed (line shifts) are committed by your factory to NPI? ie. We commit one line on 8 hour shift per day to NPI. 2. How many NPI's would you com

Does anyone have a suggestion for soldering boards with 1 inch long leads sticking out the bottom? Our vendor is using a drag solder machine, but I'm not happy with the preheat and controls on it. We assemble boards with numerous LED's( 200 to 700 pe

Mike, It sounds like you have a serious problem, I don't know much about drag soldering or what your specific soldering problem is with your present supplier. I do know that with a conventional solder machine these leads won't even make it through

Hello Just wondering if anyone has done trials on how long you can leave paste (tin-lead or pb free) on a board after you have printed it before it starts going 'off'? Thanks Chrissie FYI - have searched and found the 'pasting ahead' thread - jus

1 Print paste on a bare board or laminate. 2 Place components in the paste. 3 Gently invert and support the board above a table. 4 At one hour intervals, record the number of components that have fallen from the board.

This test nicely demonstrates the bond between parts and paste over time, but what about tack of paste on unpopulated boards? It seems she would also need to be testing by placing parts on boards that have been printed for 15 minutes, 30, 1 hour, 2

Mike, A drag solder system is not so bad. If it's not discoloring the silk screen , damaging your parts or blistering your boards than it looks like a safe bet. I am not sure what other components you have on the boards besides the LED's? But the
