Ameen Now I'm feeling sorry for you. If all the other components on the assembly have good solderability you have already proven the component is the problem. I spent 27 years in contract manufacturing and been in this situation many times. If your c

New developments in bulk feeding are making this process of feeding passive components more and more attractive to the PCB manufacturers, for whom the tape feeding for a long time was the solution. The rapid growth in the number of passive component

The centering jaws are made out of copper, I believe...and conductive. I'd suggest that the conductivity of the copper makes it a fairly poor source of ESD damage in a component. I have observed physical damage to components from the centering jaws

Justin, I would be currious as to your customers application, and if the temperature delta and rate are great enough to cause solder joint failures as a function of mismatched Tce then you may want to consider that even if you are able to identify

Outstanding advice gentlemen! To borrow Dave F's line "I'd like to take a bit of a different angle." Ie. a few wave solder specific issues If this assembly is going over wave solder then avoid vias under passive components, it invites solder bal

Hi, We also had a lot of problems with tant's on the Agilis feeders, but MYDATA have a feeder that can be adjusted, and it helped a bit, however we changed the machine to a larger version, that went from a HYDRA camera to a line scan camera, and all

Hi Manuel, most passives are chip components. These tend to self-center/align during the reflow process. However, you need to ensure that there is a uniform balanced solder paste deposit. I had tried few such ovals in earlier stencil designs and resu

Hi, What do you mean by flex machines? You've hit the nail on the head with the cause of the problem, but I am interested in what you mean about flex machines. Are you talking about a machine that can change the placement head entirely? Our problem
