Depending on how wrong the pinout is another possibly a little less ugly option would be to bend the wrong pins up then wire them to the correct pads after reflow of the correct pins. You may want to trim the ends of the pins a bit use heat shrink or

Me too. It was the first time that I heard about that "preheated pallet thing" and wonder to what temperature and with what kind of equipment it is heated up. Do different handling and transporttime have any effect on the resulting board temperatur

There are concretions that form inside the chamber when using a water soluble paste. They start forming and affecting print as early as 2 days. This is apparent no matter what type of print head you may be using. There has been over 30 water soluble

Yea you gotta love those airknives. It may not work in this application if the shorts are present at the trailing edge. I have several boards that are using conns with pins at .050" centers and they short. The protrusion is .030" to .040". The shorte

Hi Vicky, seems to be always the same dilemma with CAD people. My experience is that they can provide data in all possible formats, sometimes using scripts they write to create whatever output is needed. It needs a little diplomacy and the exact for

I am very familiar with AutoProgram and understand the default import formats for the software. AutoProgram wants a centroid file containing part number, ref des., X, Y, and theta. AutoProgram will not directly import an ASCII cad file. However, Ci
