Even though you may find a pad-pad thru-hole spacing, part body size, orientation, and insertion head tooling clearences may be the deciding factor in spacing. 1. Part body diameter will dictate component centroid spacing. ---[][][][

I am pretty sure, you are looking into the wrong spot. Your paste is too much, or your part has very inconsistent narrow leads(that includes wrong pad design as well.)

hi, we have a batch-rework for a axial 2-lead LED component. we are thinking of bending both ends of the axial-leads into a L-shape at 90degree angle, and solder the flat-end of the L-shape flatly to the PCB's SMT pad. hope the experienced guys/exp

Jerry, just out of curiosity, why can't you use flux? Flux is essential part of soldering and it is there for multiple reasons. Flux we can also clean afterwords - even No Clean.

My experience with SMT LED packages is that certain LED package styles tend to float. This floating is caused because the LED is often only terminated on the bottom side of the LED package. Sometimes the LEDs are terminated like a SMT resistor with

Most likely there is movement during reflow. How about conduction oven over convection oven for reflow? This is a small PCB with the LED sitting on a Flex-Rigid extension from the PCB. I was thinking if the stencil aperature for the LED was to be cu

REduction of center pad is the key as well as the stencil thickness. Having too big opening on your stencil will sometimes lift the part from the pads. Always try to make windowpane and shoot for about 60% of the thermal pad to be covered as start p

The reasons could be: -The pads size are uneven. Modify the pads size. -The part has not enough time for self-centering. Check and increase TAL. -Solderpaste not melted completely. Increase peak temp. -Solderpaste does not work well. Use alternate so

| | We have some SMT components with gold plated leads. They're actually LCC led packages. A good solder alloy to use would be Indium / Lead to reduce tin dissolution into the gold and avoid the resultant brittle intermetallic compound. However, a re
