Hello, I am a Japanese engineer. I am sorry for my unskillful English. Have you ever encountered cracks in chip resistors or IC components due to board mechanical stress? Especially, I'm looking for a case in the PCBs Depaneling process(pizza cutte

Francisco, You need to be concerned about "lead-free" BGAs. The SAC balls will not reflow at at standard tin-lead process temps. I have seen many examples where this has been a very big problem. In once case the BGAs just poped-off when the board was

I have alot of experience creating assembly drawings for SMT and THT products. However, we are now doing very large ,complicated box builds that have many terminal blocks, point to point and cable harnesses. It is my job to create these assembly doc

Hi Steve, the "framepiece" I mentioned may be misunderstanding but sometimes I don�t know the common english expression. What I meant is if the PCBs do not come in panels (now you mentioned 3-up panel)the PCB supplier could add additional material to

Has any one seen failures of chip resistors after 1-2 years where the junction between the silver termination and the restive element on the top of the ceramic has corroded through. This results in a high resistance failure after this period of time.

Another long shot. Are there any irregularities in the shape of the body or leads of the parts that are skewed? Any flash from the molding process for example? Almost all SOT-23s that I have seen are basically perfect but I seem to remember seeing so

The finish looks like Immersion Tin or Silver. if its lead free Hot air - could be issue of to high of a Tin Content. find out what brand of Hasl they are using. SL100 Example. Is this tarnished look only being seen after assembly or have you seen

I know what you mean but have never found a tool that would do this sufficiently. For higher value parts you should keep them in a bag for the next time you run a job that uses that part and hand fit them. The nature of the feeders means that you w

BGA defects observed with x-ray inspection fall into catagories. One catagory is the obvious defects; i.e. soledr bridges, missing balls, excessive solder voids. The second catagory is the more subtle "potential" defect. This is where variations in

A few good points have been made here: The profile could be ramping too fast. The profile could be gettting too hot. The profile may need to have more "soak" time before reflow to allow the board temperatue to equalize and the board to "relax" and st
