what size part? I will almost guarantee that a 1/4- 20 nut will remove part during reflow if it will fit. Russ

Russ: You say, "I will almost guarantee that a 1/4- 20 nut will remove part during reflow if it will fit." What are you talking about?

I assumed he intended to glue the nut to the part, turn the board upside down and run it through. Thing is, you might seriously have to crank up the heat to get it to reflow with that big sink on there.

I hope you don't mind if I comment Rob....one needs to read that article closely in that some of those numbers may apply specifically to SDSR. I can't read that formatting, myself. :(

Hi Steve, you're right, I pulled the wrong SMT NET article from my archive. :(

One can only speculate on the response one would receive from a maintenance tech upon discovering the hardware scattered across the blower baffles in the reflow zone. ;)

1/4-20 would be unlikely to fit on an 0603 is all. I have to admit that when he first brought up the hardware theme I kept visualizing a jack screw assembly but the results I envisioned were less than ideal.

yep, steve is right, it was kind of a joke but I have attached nuts and bolts to QFPs when it was deemed that a lot of components needed to be removed from some assemblies in a quick amount of time. Fit just means that it will fit onto part. thought
