The only way is to get a whole system that is smart - there are several out there. I had Mycronic towers, Mycronic machines and smart feeders and all is connected together. Plus the machine measures values for all passive components. Once machine mak

Hi, I don't know anyone who uses Mancorp, and apart from this forum have never heard of them. I guess the big problem I faced when getting into SMT is trying to find a machine that could do what we wanted at a good cost. I originally purchased MYD

we have just started wave soldering passive SMT components and through hole. We are having trouble with voids on the SMT components. It is very random, but effects a lot of TSOT's. We are using an electrovert with a chip wave. Are there any obvio

Set Up Guy, I am not sure if the COB you are refering to means Circuit on Board . If yes, this process also include SMT . Package is a combination of some passive components and bare die. Passives are normally attached thru SMT using solder te

I'm new on this, what's the standard rate for each placement on passive and active components and how to rate labor cost per hour. thanks in advance

We are a small division. We are starting up a leadless line with an old screen printer and a convection oven. At this time we don't intend to get any sort of pick and place assistance and wil be loading by hand. We find the biggest problem with th

| It seems to be that we have to much NaCl left on our assambled PCB's. | The flux we use is from cobar. They say it can not be from the flux... So what can be the reason, what kind of problem may occer when there is to much NaCl. | George, Are you

Ben, I'm not aware of any 'automatic' method to convert PTH footprints to SMT. Typically, many of the components are passives, and there may be a way in your CAD software to change the passives of a common size to a different footprint. That will co

| I have had some field failures returned recently, the boards had flux contamination under the components in a sensitive area, Nothing really visible until the component was removed, and the board had no evidence of rework of any type. Is it poss

Just a comment to clarify this discussion. Typically chip caps and other passive components that use palladium plated to the end of the component are very different from the TI nickel/palladium plated IC components (leaded devices). The main di
