I agree with Michael, scoring works great. We build both and medium size small boards, anywhere from 2 to 100 square inches. Thickness from .030 to .062 Panels contain anywhere from 2 to 16 boards. About half are odd shaped, with cutouts and not

Tks. So was the answer that you got close? [ala "Car Talk"] Some guy from Cal-fornie sends me spill. I get cigars from � Yeh, I know I hog the responses, but I learn by doing this. If I can communicate in print, I can better communicate in word

PROPER GROUNDING OF THE "OBJECT" PCBA BOARD: You cannot ground an insulator. Insulators accumulate a charge, but the charge must be neutralized, usually by ionization. We only use ionizers at tape stations and bins where travelers and other paper

One thing that is a constant in the electronics assembly world is change. What ever you setup now be sure to think about what might change in the not to distant future. My experience says that you want ESD flooring, although cost of course is a nec

Actually that reminds me I remember one place I visited that wore two heel straps for saftey purposes. The reasoning was that if you touched a live wire with one hand and only had the heel strap on the other foot the current would go through your he

| ok, ok, so I'm not an engineer. I'm a salesguy ( and that's nothing to be ashamed of...) Here's my dilemma. I represent a contract manufacturer who is in the early stages of quoting on "turnkey" assembling of a circuit board for a manufacturer

1) At this time we do not have a design engineer. I have contacted the PCB manufacturer about changing the drill file to close up the diameter on the holes a bit. This should allow the wings on the leads of the component to rest on top of the holes i

Hello Ashok If you are talking about the thousands of volts that is often generated by either simply unrolling the tape to apply or when it is removed from the board after soldering you don't have a lot of choice since it is an insulator. Ionization
