If you are going to wavesolder the board after SMT you will have to epoxy the parts on instead of paste/reflow. I used to work for a company that squeeged it on. You will have to research component layout guidelines if you do want to wavesolder. If

Has anyone tried to use electrically condctive adhesive rather than solder to connect the leads on 5 watt Luxeon parts? If you design the board right to dissipate heat, when you have a bunch of them in a tight array, even with thermal relief on the t

Some RF components are made in copper in weird spiral and parallel strip-line shapes. I'd either: * Send the boards back to where ever you got them and tell that bird brain to use SM-782 pads and practices. ... OR * Get the bird brain that sent you

That you have 'grainy' solder only at the ends of the connector and not at all solder connections indicates that your quality types are on track and are pointing you in a direction worthy of investigation and developing a better understanding of the

Can anyone steer me towards a supplier of heatsinks suitable for use on a PQFP 160. Before you shoot me down in flames, I know that I am not going to get much heat away from the die because of the plastic but the application is such that the board te

I have a small board with some chips and 2 connectors (1 large and 1 small) with gull wing leads. The large connector has some "disturbed" solder joints per my QA people. These joints are toward the ends of the connector, not toward the middle. Th

"Disturbed" usually means some form of movement. I would think your leads are moving due to warp as the board exits the reflow zone. Not knowing your profile, I would suggest checking your profile. Make sure you have adequate "above liquidous" and

How would you mount a surface mount chip onto Perf board? I am doing a project for school and one of the chips is a surface mount, but everything else fits in Perf board. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am looking for information on the amount of stress a component sees during the depaneling process. I am currently specifying a new piece of depaneling equipment and I have not found any studies that quantitatively compare the amount of stress diff
