Josh: Your 0.009" [0.228 mm] clearance should be fine. The minimum clearance should be ~0.008" [0.20 mm]. Is the 0.039" [0.99 mm] the measured or the expected hole diameter? While we wouldn't like it, we wouldn't be surprised to see 0.008" [0.20 mm

Larry, Our specification is 0.075% for our Fuji CP3 and IP2 machines. At or above that figure the Maintenance Dept. has to get to work. We typically see 0.03% to 0.05% on average. The Fuji machines are all vision centering. We have found feeders are

We see spattered(spitting of flux or solder to nearby area) solder/flux on gold fingers.We view the gold fingers area under 30x before reflow and it is cleaned but after reflow we see flux droplets or solder on gold fingers. We tried to changed a new

Many people use the same spacing [and pad designs] as they use for primary side SMT. We don�t. DOWN STREAM SMT-TO-SMT SPACING: In addition to proper orientation, components cannot be immediately upstream of terminations that are to be soldered or b

Is it possible to have zero flux or paste spattering for all smt reflow pcbs. We are seeing around 0.4% of flux spattering and looking forward to zero defect.

These guys http://www.cetaq-americas.com/index.shtml have the CmController that can do the measurement to back up the p&p vendor's claim. A CpK of 1.33 ain't bad. Would like to see 2.0. The picking is critical too. Ask vendors for pick accuracy and

0.5 to 1 micron is typically too thick and can result in gold embrittlement of the solder joint. Typical IG thickness is 0.18 microns. see https://www.semlab.com/papers/gold-embrittlement-of-solder-joints/ Ed Hare

So, a 10SWG is about an 8AWG. We can't think of a IPC standard for design of this type of product. That the solder is running up the wire indicates something is wrong. We wonder if either: * Holes in the board might be too large for the wire. Doe

We are considering adding x-ray inspection equipment. What can I expect to see with X-ray?
