I feel an SMTA vision award coming on. A depth guage sounds like a great idea (especially one designed specifically for that purpose). It should readout "components remaining". But until that product is avaialble, why not just save some of the empt

IPC Plating Committee is presently working on a specification for immersion tin [IPC-4554 Specification for Immersion Tin Plating for Printed Circuit Boards] as a solderable surface finish. Immersion tin is normally deposited at 30 to 60 microinches.

see also the complete specific series of IEC-60286,IEC-60286-3, IEC-60286-4, IEC-60286-5,IEC-60286-6. All of those specs are realated to packaging specifications. Tape, reel,stick magazine,tray, bulk case,etc. Regards.....GS

The recommended bake temperature for components in Tape and Reel is 40C. If you use a bake temperature higher than that, the cover tape and other elements of the packaging will degrade to the point that it becomes impossible to reliably use an automa

Hello, I am in need of finding any specifications that exist relative to presenting SMT parts for insertion or automatic handling. If you could let me know any ANSI, IPC, or other specs that are out there I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!! Ri

Hi Long, Cmiller is right, check out the vendors and ask for lots of info, they'll flood you with it. You also mite ask to see their equipment working in a facility near you. Also check out IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001. Get to know the different termi

I'd don't believe that the reels need to be ESD protective material. The carrier and cover tape have resistivity and materials specifications. Start with EIA-481. In past threads on SMTnet, we have discussed problems in picking components that wer

You can find some good idea by reading IPC-J-STD-002B (or later review ) Solderability test and also the JEDEC Standard (free down load) JESD22-B102D solderability test. A suggestion, first of all check how old are the chips (read data Code on Label
