Hi Mark, Look on the bright side, if you want to change from HASL you've got the lead free issue which will allow you to evaluate all other finishes, and find the best one for you. Dave, have you seen any unleaded HASL finishes & any issues arising

Yes, appropriate storage & component handling proceedures should be followed depending on the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) class of the component. Some component suppliers are now marking the MSL class on the label, along with PBT (Peak Body

An ICT solution seems to be overkill for what you've described. What kind of volumes are you hand building? How many components are not marked? What is your current yield with the process you are using? What is/was your yield prior to implementing m

I've given up on my search for this solution, personally. I wasn't able to land the customer that it would have benefitted me for, and the company I was working for shuttered operations. But, with that said, if anyone is looking for a custom sized
