Or you can use the Hot Air (Hakko) to remove that component and a tweezer to pull it. dont pull it just yet. If you see the solder melting then feel the component using the tweezer by wiggling it a bit and if you can wiggle it only then you can pull

Chris, From your email I am assuming you are using an immersion tin process. Is that correct? If so, I would highly recommend you talk to your board house about the amount of tin that is being deposited on your boards. If the tin deposit becomes ver

It depends on what you want to accomplish. I believe DB Cooper wants a better product with less wasted effort. If so then Russ and DaveF are the ones to listen to. If you want to impress managers, customers, and others, then you are doing it right.

Hi Harrit, We are processing SMT eleco's normally - up to around 8mm in height, the larger sizes can still be avoided and are through hole as the cost of them outweigh the benefit of surface mounting them (although we did get good results on test fo

Um...for you mylar guys....esd safe? Why worry about the first two prints. Worry if they power up or not when sent to funcitonal test. Zapp! I think I know where this is comming from. It is not that uncommon to have a sacrificial print. However,
