Hello, I need to rework a thru hole DIP mounted on a metal backed FR4. It is difficult to remove the FR4 board from the metal back since it is riveted. Is there a simpler way to takle this? Thnx

I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly... Mainly, drill the mushroomed end of the rivet with a drill bit that is slightly larger than the shaft size of the rivet and remove the cover. Then, you should have easy access to what you need t

We have no problems but orientation does matter. Orient with longest side of component body perpendicuar to wave. In other words the same preference as with through hole DIPS. Idea is the same as for through hole, that the surface tension will ten

Dave: I haven't located something to support your contention, yet, and I'm not going to comment on the factors that drive reliability beyond component selection, because I know that you've got some sweaty-palmed sales type wringing his hands waiting

It sounds like the process is very labor intensive, and all the verification is done after the parts are soldered. Assuming you are hand placing the components: 1 - Contact Systems semi-automatic placement machine. It show polarity when placing, so

Mike, Russ is right, no 'normal' wave machine will solder PCB's with 1" long lead length. I have seen waves modified to clear up to 5/8" leads, but the deeper the wave the uglier things get. They get uglier in that a lot more dross is produced, con
