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

Hello, this is my first post in this forum, but sometimes I visit it to get some news. Now we have an issue and I need your advice. Few months ago we were awarded with a project that use PTH components. We solder these components on Wave soldering

There are several things that can be done. Shortening the lead length should eliminate bridging between lead. We had done a project several years ago where the customer had shortened the leads to almost flush to the board, preventing any chance of

I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago. I received a lot of e-mail from salesmen et al trying to sell me equipment costing several thousand dollars. I was glad to get all the information I could, but there was no way I was going to get a PO

Suggestions are: * Limit pad width to 0.008" [0.2mm] * Use IPC-7525 Stencil Design Guidelines * Avoid Type 4 pastes, if you can * Slow down your print head to 0.63"/sec [16 mm/sec] * Consider the suggestions on printing by rpereira in the past

Tim, What is it? Which ones are you talking about: 0.080" vs 0.008", 0.100" vs 0.010", or 0.050" vs 0.005" pitch devices . If you are saying 0.080",0.100" and 0.050", any pick and place machine can handle that. Well if not, one machine that is ca

Manufacturing already tried to get a design change but no chance. I guess because the designer is afraid the components could get bent too much if they are mounted with a stand off. Of course everyone who has to manufacture this fist sais: why don't
