It appears a disgruntled employee has sabatoged my Sapphire solective solder. Along with cut ribbon cables, I think some jumpers were removed from the system board. D.O.M: '98. I was hoping that some nice person could take a picture of the system b

Nice picture. What's that snot on the solder in the bottom left of the picture? I'd guess that this ribbon cable wants to be hot bar soldered.

Ribbon cable is 25 ml pitch (11.8 mil pad-to-pad), and solder is pre-applied and reflowed to the PCB pads. What is the best attachment method for this ribbon cable? What is the best method to prevent solder bridging? Hot bar, soldering iron with "

Hey, I'd try it. Well maybe not me personally, but one of the peeps, one with some touch and skill. Buying, setting-up and using a hot bar soldering machine is not rocket science, but who needs it, if you don't have to?

DaveF, What is your prediction if one tries to put a solder iron to it? Will the component bridge? I know hot-bar soldering is more common for things like Flex Circuits (with silver-filling epoxy), etc. and not so much for things where standard so

Hi I use a lot of preforms for other specific applications. Personally I like indiums product but the lead time is awful and dont often deliver them on schedule. (im in the uk). Some manufactures make preforms out of solder wire that is pressed flat

My company uses a SAC387 ribbon for stamping solder onto connectors before shipping to a customer. This stamping process creates a lot of SAC387 excess that we send off to be recycled at a very low price. This excess would be great for wave soldering

We changed the encoder because the ribbon cable is soldered to the board. Both encoders seem to be working correctly beep tested the cable. We have tried different size components 0603,0805,1206 and different boards. It will place about 3 to 5 com

charliem, thanks for the reply. I have to admit that I find writing barcodes with a pen a little difficult. AR, I still look at writing directly onto the PCB. But seems those systems are really expensive. I will look further into the normal label

Q1. What kind of labels/ink/sharpe can be used under conformal coating without disolving etc...? A1. While we're not familiar with the conformal coat you have selected, this might help. Label selection: The following chemically durable materials are
