Hi, First check what the Moisture Sensitivity Level of the LEDS is....you may need to ask the LED manufacturer. Once you've established it is moisture sensitive then follow latest version of IPC JEDEC 33 spec. for storage of them and drying them if t

Some things you have to be sure of... Can you guarantee the LEDS are DRY when you receive them ? They may be packed in dry bags but when was this done and has the LED distributor had them open at his site ? Using vacuum sealed dry packs is a good way

Have you verified the measurements on the bench with an LCR meter? Chances are you are experiencing aging with these ceramic caps. We have similar issues with X5R and X7R caps. You will see the effects of aging with returns from the field as well

Your dust collection / humidity / ionic path concern is reasonable. Consider applying your conformal material thick enough to form a good barrier between the device edge and the board, similar to what you do for QFP. [Admittedly the QFP is not a pre

From a manufacturing standpoint, this isn't very nice. Vias will tend to wick solder away from the pad, resulting in insuficient solder joints, which require touch-up. The amount of times any solder joint is reheated should be minimized, as extra h

There a several things you can do to prevent the solder wicking down the hole with the current design, and that's where you should focus. Cost goes up as you go down the list, but in neither case do you need to respin the board, have solder starvatio

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem on a standard part made many times before -Ni/Au finish PCB, Reflow 100% SMD parts. After reflow the gold on the pads does not fully fuse with the solder paste it remains intact on the extremities of the pads, it seems

We're getting new SMT equipment! A flex machine and conveyors to boot. We have Simplimatic equipment now but I'm wondering about Lynx (I have the strong impression that Philips wants to deal) or this D-pace company? What's the 411 on these guys? Equ
