John: Several thoughts: 1 What on your wave machine are these bowed boards catching on? It has to be something on either wave. Are you getting hung-up on the chimney? That doesn't seem correct!!! 2 Why do you want to measure the defection of y

Ralph, Typically our co-op students put down solder paste with a syringe, place the parts on the paste with tweezers, and then reflow the paste with a hot air pencil. This works pretty well when they are hand building prototypes. You can probably

In a typical flowline assembly of circuit boards, what are the different methods used for tracking WIP ? I can think of : 1. travel cards - not suitable for panelised boards 2. Marking ID# on board at various operations while board is being built.

Hi Sal, I assume your homeplates are designed with the peaks towards the componentcenter. I can imagine that due to placement inaccuracy not both sides sit in the same amount of paste and that wetting difficulties prevent same force factors for both

Hi Ivan, J-STD-001C chapter 3.6.2 says temperature should be maintained between 18�C and 30�C and humidity should not exceed 70% and below 30% verification of electrostatic discharge control is advised. This is a wide range and I wouldn�t allow a sw

Hi Raeto, 1. You do not have reflow oven. This means that you are not running Surface Mount Technology in your shop floor...am I correct? Why do you plan to have SMD's under your PCB's ? Can't you replace them with their PTH counter part and have th

80%. There are too many factors at hand to point the finger yet. We need to build a truth table and dot the i's and cross the t's before stepping up to Goliath (Samsung). Is you placement guranteed good? What x-ray have you used? Are your fab.'s know
