Silly question, but, are TR blades 'exactly' the same size as MPM's and seat themselves in the holders just like MPM's? Also, different types of steel are harder (less flexable) than others. Are TR's the same? If harder (due to steel strength or coat

As others have said, Bliss racks are not cheap, but they sure are nice. We are a small single shift shop, but we have 4 of their carts. Two for stencils and two for feeders. Even fully loaded these roll very nicely if you need to get them out of the

Hi Guys, So I work for a small contract manufacturer which caters mainly to the defense sector. As such, our customers haven't (yet) had a great need to incorporate 01005's into their designs. Looking forward, we decided to "take the plunge" and dia

Hi All, We are being intermittently challenged by a .5mm pitch uBGA paste release issue. We don't build with many of these so don't have a lot of history here. We've gone through 3 different stencil designs and the most consistent performer was 4 m

Does this PBGA have eutectic balls? If so and the PCB is HASL finish, or has solder on the lands from BGA removal, you may not have to apply solderpaste. Check with you flux supplier to see if they offer a NC "flux paste" product, otherwise I know Mu

Hi Gani, HASL is normally very good for solderability providing there is a good consistent coating of HASL on the pcb pad. But it is not unusual to have a very thin coating of HASL on the pad and this is poor for solderability. You then have tin/copp
