Board Layout on Panel

Electronics Forum | Wed Dec 10 10:36:42 EST 2003 | russ

I would contact your PCB supplier, they usually have some type of software for panel optimization. Each shop potentially uses different size panels so it is a good idea to ask them what they are using and go from there. Keep in mind that there are

We saw something like this in the machine shop years ago. Fumes from a soldering operation in the shop turned exposed iron and steel tools and the spindle on my Bridgport mill green. Can your supplier apply plating or a coating to the exposed parts o

%RH in the Production Hall

Electronics Forum | Tue Jul 18 09:46:42 EDT 2006 | SWAG

We run humidifiers in our shop because we are usually around 25% RH. We track this with a data-logger and RH device. It's dry here! Sometimes in the summer, it can get between 5 and 10% RH outside = thunderstorms/dry lightning and forest fires. I

Do you already have machines or are you shopping? If you're shopping and looking at used machines from Universal, get AT LEAST a Radial Lead III and preferably a V or VIII. The Radial Lead II is well past it's prime, especially for someone that's jus

Electronics Forum | Thu Jan 28 15:08:32 EST 2010 | jamyboy

Hi all, Long story ahead.... We are having issues with board vendors on some of our higher layer count (thick) boards. Specifically under BGAs with high aspect ratio vias (14:1). We are using ENIG finish and a lead free process. Basically we get t

Unusual solderability issue

Electronics Forum | Mon Apr 19 15:45:21 EDT 2010 | dwonch

Thanks to all for your input. We did have a third party do an analysis on boards from the first shop. They were shipped directly from the board shop to eliminate the possibility that we could contaminate them. The third party (Forsite) did find Sili

I never thought about painting our copper piping. I always thought the patina that covers the pipes adds a bit of history and class, ya know an antique-feel, to the shop. I was in a shop years ago that used PVC piping for their air. From looking a

Hi Mariss, The Main Problem with China is that they are constantly in training mode due to extreme turn over of employees. There are good shops their but you need to look hard. The Company I Sale for owns Two shops, 1 in Taiwan and 1 in china. We
