I have a large monoblock ceramic filter on a PTFE based pcb material. The filter has a metal casing soldered onto the ceramic filter. I am concerned that if the heating rate is to rapid, then thermal shock / differential expansion could cause the fil

Russ: That�s a pretty stand-up postin� bud. It�s neat that you can root-out that dirt. We couldn�t dig-up that stuff, if they threatened to shoot the dog. You could be correct about using convex for waving. We don�t wave RNET as Philips suggests

I know that many smaller companies clean their stencils the same way you do. If you get good results cleaning your stencils this way then I would say stick with the alcohol/wipe method. Take your stencil and put it under a microscope.If the aperture

There is a japanese company that makes a ultrasonic hand-held stencil cleaner. I demo'd it for a day and it was fantastic! It even cleaned epoxy stencils. Can't recall the price...but it should be much much less than the smart sonic and other "mac

Generally speaking with most electronic grade epoxies: 1. Cure time is a function of temperature. 2. Polymer bonds begin to quickly break down above certain temperatures (product specific). I believe aprox 170-180C. The strength of the bond de

Truthfully, there are pro's and con's for both technologies. (put cost of ownership aside for one moment) Nitrogen won't dry humidified components as rapidly as a desiccant dry box. I'm talking about a self regenerating dry box that uses molecular s

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. I have tried getting the design changed from the customer but they cannot provide thermal relief as this changes the RF performance and they cannot afford to do that. As for profile it does reach the reflow tempera

Dear Abhishek, I too got the opportunity to investigate this defect Lift lead for SOT. Lead lift in IC, and SOT can occur due to various reasons. Here are some possible reasons for lead lift and ways to avoid them: During the assembly process, mecha
