One of the wonderful things about a part going obsolete, if you have stock often the price will rise ten times over your buy, good when selling, not so good if you are running a reasonable volume on an old but good selling product! sarason

I would probably try to find who of these sellers(that Sarason suggested) will do the job for you. If you can take anything for it, take it. If not-scrap it. I am pretty sure sorting them is not worth the time and effort.

I have them online and as aspected the feedback is zero. Still looking at other methods. I am aware that they might be very valuable to somebody in need - but to find that one is rather difficult. I'm not a huge friend of brokers, I bought fake par

Hi there, we accumulated over the years quite a lot electronic components (R, C, IC etc.) and some populated modules. What is a good what to get offers for them? We tried ebay, but that works too slow. Some we like to sell in roughly sorted bulk, b

First of all do a database or a spreadsheet with all the components and relavant details. Date codes, manufacturer. Abbreviated part no., Full part no, description, Then you can put them online on your own website. You may find a few sales of your de

Hi, If your doing a line, then your going to need more than the simple prototyping machines listed above in this thread. (Although they are cool ideas, and loved the toaster oven modification guy, and the other guy soldering ic's with it too!) We a

I'd agree with getting a stencil fully cut, and taping the pads you don't want paste on. But, I'd also check with the people that will be doing the hand soldering to see what they prefer. Some people prefer soldering on bare pads, some prefer solde

What size paste roll do you have on your stencil? It should be about 1/2" in diameter. What type of paste are you using? I have found that certain Mfgrs have this problem with some of their formulations. What typoe of printer and what is your squ

This is an interesting dilemma you have been faced with. If both machines are outfitted similarly and running under identical process settings then they should produce nearly the same results, in theory. I do not dispute the observations you are re

On a HASL board that has poor wetting on the pad, consider looking further downstream in the process than your assembly shop. For instance, take a look at the bare boards. Look for solder mask bleed onto the pads. This will show-up on the outside
