Wouldn't think of them as peas and carrots. Maybe, tree and carrot. ITAR: Export regulations that are specific. Board fabricators may choose to be ITAR registered. AS9100: Aerospace tailored version of ISO9000. So, it's general. In it's base form, AS

Comments are: * General purpose RTV (RTV-108) releases an acetic acid (vinegar) during cure and corrodes copper, brass and sensitive metals. It is therefore NOT for use in delicate electrical or electronic applications. However, there is an electrica

QC --> Touch-up --> QC --> Assembly After SMT all PWB goes to QC, QC Inspects and marks all that needs rework then PWB's goes to Touch-up to fix what QC marked for rework. After that All reworked boards goes to QC for another verification and stampi

I'm attempting to pick and place a small rivet onto our PCB. The rivet should be attached via reflow solder. The rivet will be used to create a sandwich, holding together a frame and additional circuit board in a package. This part is intended onl

Hi, I have a general question about the relationship of PCB thickness and BLR testing result. For example, I have QFN6x6 parts mounted on board in 1.2mm, 1.6mm, and 2.4mm thickness. All boards have 6 layers of Cu. Studies show thicker board gives les

We have a board that uses 0402x4 RNET packages that we are having a difficult time getting to solder consistently. Paste deposition is fine (using AIM WS353) and profile is dead-nuts. I'm starting to wonder if this is something that we're just goin

I'd like to get more information about pick and place nozzles. How can I learn more? ... What do the nozzles look like? Are there different shapes? Are custom nozzles sometimes used for custom parts or are the nozzles mostly standardized? What kind

On over printing, the general issues are: * Paste deposits being so large that when reflowing, collapse onto many, rather than a single solder mass. * Paste expanding during heating and being close to other solder deposits and bridging [as you say].

Hello Dave, I can understand why you might not use the auto-correct function based on the time it takes to perform the operation. I question why there is an auto-correct function in the first place? If I understand the way this works correctly, the m

Thinner: Flux thinner, NOT paint thinner We kept a spare stone in thinner in inventory. We cut PVC pipe to size, cap in one end, screw thread on the other, stone inside, filled with flux thinner and covered with a screw cap. I don't remember who we
