I am trying to teach a class and the question came up about loss of metalization of the Earth pad on a chip filter. This pad is on the side of the component. I can not find a IPC call out for this type of side termination other than 3 or 5 sided 9.1.

We bought a second hand Saki Voyager AOI machine, all the systems seem to be working but I need to import data to start scanning for errors on pcbs. Now we have never worked with an AOI machine and are at a loss What I think I need is: solder past

Interesting idea of PC at workstation, however I am thinking there is quite a supply now of say Palm505's on Ebay for very low $ as they become more and more obsolete. We are a small shop, so I am not concerned about loss. Pete

There are software companies out there who can help predict when SMT machines will falter or help identify line utilisation losses. They use sensors as and when required with certain machines. Are there companies also looking to do this? What has th

If that is what you use it for, go back to the engineer/client who isn't providing you with XYR (aka "Centroid") data as part of the standard datapack and give them a slapping. The only reason you should ever need to generate this yourself is if ther

Hello Everybody, I�m afraid I�m not the only one who suffers from sudden inexplicable but certainly foreseeable loss of data on profiles, processes and all the rest concerning this field. To my astonishment it happens every year in late december tha

There's a fair number of issues with lead and bismuth solder alloys: * Lead and bismuth alloys can form a eutectic composition of Bi52Pb32Sn16 in the grain boundaries. Melting point of the eutectic alloy is 95�C [~96�C?]. * Fillet lifting of PTH du

I agree with Dave, Identifying chip components is not worth the time or effort. I believe that you can only tell what the value is and not the voltage,temp rating tolerance, etc...anyway. You will need to then put them back into tape to make them u

In the past when the electronics industry was only beginning to mature, many companies considered CIM systems or even just basic CAD/CAM functionality a luxury of only the large OEM's which would develop their own tools. Now, with the competitivenes

+1 on what robgd3 said. It's basically the same process. The bummer is that you only have three thermocouples to give you the information you need, so placement (and attachment) is more critical. You also don't have the predictative capability of
