What is the preffered spacing between PTH and SMT pads

Electronics Forum | Thu Apr 30 02:39:48 EDT 2009 | michafogel

Thanks for the info so far, but still need a number or a formula to calculate. The site you have point me to can support in a way, but if I want to release a design procedure to our editors, a number will be very helpful. One more issue is what can b

Hello all I have used a couple of types one of them only clamped on two sides and you used a wrench and screwed the bolt down till it was tight ( what is tight) and there was no fram at all around the stencil so people got cut. the second one we us

Tons of shorts on Combo process

You mentioned that you changed the layout some, and this can be essential in this type of process. If the SMT parts and TH leads have inadequate spacing on the bottom side, shorts may be inevitable (someone else will have to advise what the recommen

I was flicking through the "Element14" (previously known as Farnell) BIG catalog (looking at the pictures) far superior to looking via internet. and found the closest to what you are after a five pin version. "Battery Interconnection System" Header,

Dek Vector Guard?

Electronics Forum | Wed Dec 18 07:22:23 EST 2013 | davlec

We have not tried VectorGuard, so I cannot comment on that specific solution. However we have been using a Tecan Genesis system for several years and are very pleased with it. Unlike the DEK solution, the tensioning is entirely mechanical so there is

Enough pluses and minuses to get things started are: * Mouse bites (+) boards can be irregularly shaped, no board redesign (-) no one knows how to seperate the things, requires layout consideration * Singulation (+) boards can be irregularly shaped (

Stencil Manufacturer

In a previous job we had DEK cut our stencils. If you are not already using the Vector-Guard system it is very nice. It saves $25 (or at least at that time it did) per stencil, but the really nice thing is the space savings. You can store several ste

LED sticking into carrier tape

We are using a custom made nozzle, designed for this particular LED. The dome of the LED is also custom made, the diameter of the lens at the base is 2.9mm while the substrate of the package is 3.3mm, so this gives about 0.2mm spacing between lens a

Weird resistor color code

Electronics Forum | Mon Nov 22 21:57:52 EST 2021 | stephendo

Are they all evenly spaced? If that first gold is orange and the black is spaced farther apart than the others then it could a polarity band or not really a band. Don't know why a resistor would have one. If that is the case then it is a 47K 5%. Whi
