Glen: As I mention in an earlier response in this thread, I think someone at Steve's plant (or may be in his packaging spec for the fabs) is doing something to leave a residue, but I'm also thinking solder mask ... ENIG can be applied before or aft

What is the package type? TO92, TO5...etc. This temp. sensing device clips (mechanically) to the sink. And this requires a special tool? How about thermo bond heat sink compound? "output" by loc tite is the only flavor I can think of...There a

I should have been more clear;the temperature that I indicated was measured inside the dispenser cabinet. We setup a very simple system to monitor and maintain the temperature inside the cabinet. By comparing our temperature to our production resul

you can buy a visco meter for $ 143.44 from McMaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com but to my expirience the viscosity was very consistent from batch to batch. The glue application itself has so many variables, temperature, pressure, needle diameter, s

No chart for you, but I will comment that a prudent product manager would require a substantial reason to accept the risk of product failure and loss of profit to redesign his / her product. We merrily assemble many boards each month that were desig

Well, your wipes are a good first step in removing the bulk of the material, but they do little or nothing to remove the material from the apertures. * It would probably be cheaper to use poly stencils and then throw them away after each use, eh? ;

We currently use a silicon conformal coating on many of our manufactured circuit boards and are experiencing situations where the coating doesn't conform. For example, on the sharp edges of components and corners of leads it pulls away before curing

I have been soldering 0603 components on the bottom side using a glue and wave solder process for a long time. Bridging has not been a common problem. However, it is inherent on the design engineers to follow good manufacturability planning when la

As a CM, I have had customers stack components as a temporary measure of incorporating an ECO. Most of the time, it includes using an adhesive to secure the component. Cost of material already in-house is the major factor when this occurs. Even th

Well John here is the situation: I need to place an infrared transistor (optical element) with a tolerance of +/-.003", this is not a problem. A lens is positioned over the optical element and snapped to the PCB via three holes that have a toleran
