Russ: You�re correct. I should have explained our reasons for preferring concave over convex better. First, we use both also ... we just prefer concave because they: * Don�t bridge any where near as easily. * Self-center better. * Seem to have mor

Suggestions please... I have to place a number of 1206 chip resistor arrays on the bottom side of my PCB for wave soldering. The device consists of 4 x 0603 resistors in a 1206 package. The device is available with either concave or convex terminati

Thanks, Dave appreciate the info. One of my trains of thought was leading to the convex because I thought that having the "bump" would allow for easier wave soldering? I did look at some data we had and did find you to be correct, the concave hav

Hi Colin, Are you using the 1206 package with 4 elements or one of the higher density smaller packages? With the first type you can get them in both Convex or Concave terminations, with most of the solderability problems associated with using the C

Hi Colin, If it's easy for you to swap to Convex try the Rohm MNR14 series, Bourns CAY series or Eurohm NC Series. Else try a 10% apperture reduction - however we usually had a 6 thou stencil when we did this. Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob, They want you to think that their products are subtly different & that they are not interchangeable, although they are in nearly all cases (this is different for high frequency RF design). Also your layout guys aren't going to love you wi

These parts are flat chip resistor arrays that have 4 end terminations on each side. It looks liek an IC but is typically in an 0805 and 1206 package type with convex terminations. .031" pitch from termination to termination and .011" spacing between

Whoo-doggies Jason, you said a mouthfull!! (GRIN) Anyways, 'member what I said about me being a pack-rat? Guess what? I found some documentation that I've had for a while that does document the self-alignment forces that goes on when reflowing. I ha
