I want to place smd's by hand from tape strips using a vacuum pump. What is the orientation of polarised smd components on reels/tapes? Is there a standard manufacturing orientation, or are there variations? I understand some manufactures have part

This information is normally available in the component's data sheet (typically toward the end where the packaging is detailed.)

The standard you need is EIA-481B. It details the taping of components from 8mm tape up to 200mm tape including component orientations. 8, 12, 16 and 24mm tape has the sprocket holes only on one side so it is easy to determine the proper orientatio

There 2 main rival standards for orientation in tape and because you can't really trust manufacturers to stick to one or the other or something else entirely it is always wise to check the datasheet. Typically an SOIC will have pin 1 the same end as

I observed some black dot or some oxidation occured on chip termination on pcba reflowed fews weeks ago as buffer stock. The solder joint and fillet wetting is good and shinning. It is an acceptable or defect condition per IPC standard/requirement? W

We are having a little trouble with what appears to be a crystalization between our fine pitch parts. The problem appears after a a thourough wash of the pcb when dry. It looks like lead wiskers/haze between the joints.We are using water soluable lea

There are several smd components in our factory that don't reliably wet to solder during reflow. Paste and placement are good, but the component won't wet reliably. All of the other components on the boards solder fine, but one of these components

First, how oxidized are these solder balls? Will the take solder using your routine flux / paste? Second, on restoring solderability, the three basic methods you can use to restore solderability on components are: * Highly active fluxes in a retinn

Thanks for your advise Now I don't found Non-wetting defect at TIN COATED 0603 after I had increased peak temp and Time above 183 C. At film caps, I still found Non-wetting in high rate at film chip size 2416. I using PANASONIC's part with identif

Are you exposing so you can solder and SMD component directly to it? If not are there ant vias near by that connect to the area you are trying to expose? If not I have done as Dave suggested using a dremal tool. Messy but it works.
