I want to place a connector near the edge of a PCB using a Panasonic Pick and Place machine. One-third of the connector (the part with the smd pads) sits on the PCB, while the remaining portion hangs off the edge. When the connector isn't seated prop

I have Through Hole Assembly Boards that require Conformal Coating but the customer did not specify which area or parts should not be coated. Upon asking them they are also not sure about it. I have Transformers, PLCC's on a socket, IC's on a Socket

I am having a horrible time with the square radial lead capacitors (thru hole components) and the part coating flowing into the solder joint. These are Class 3 products. When we run them through the wave solder machine, the solder travels up the le

I have several memory devices that have 2% bismuth in the lead coating. Is this enough bismuth to be concerned over the formation of a low temperature SnPbBi alloy? What are the allowable limits for bismuth in an SnPb process for both SMT and through

We manufacture low volume, high reliability assemblies (class 3) that are conformal coated. Up until now we have been cleaning after SMT, then after through hole, then immediately prior to coating with test, formal inspection, etc. between cleaning p

We have a Vitronics mySelective machine (model 6749, or "the Fat Bastard" as we affectionately call it). It's configurable with various combinations of "select wave" and "multi wave" pots. Ours has one of each. The "select wave" is for the most pa

I was asked to post my finding about HumiSeal stripper for polyurethane coating. Both as an information sharing as well as someone who may offer advice on teh situational use of 1063 solvent stripper. So here is what I found: The stripper worked t

Kurt: Lots of choices, not many of them good, yano. 1 So LPI has taken over the market pretty nearly 100%, but it won't "tent" reliably, because it is not very viscous when applied and drops into the hole. So then, tenting/plugging with LPI is bad
