What are other testing/process step that we should do if we where to use the old date code QFPs other than solderability and baking ? What is the plating composition normally %? lead, % tin etc. I have my policy not to accept the more than 12 mont

We're running into problems with board damage (broken traces, solder shorts) due to pliers and other bizarre tools being used for depanelization. I need some sort of fixture for this. A delrin plate with a slot cut to the correct depth and width migh

I run about forty different boards ranging from single to double sided & from 0603 to 324 PBGA. 2> The placement rate is around your spec. 3> And depending on the table arrangement you can get up to & above your feeder needs including several soic vi

You can do some reading-up from Circuit Assembly Sep 96 and Jun 97. The problem is that they tell you only the good things and seldom evaluate them critically. I will be interesting to see what you want to do with the metal fence! (I presume is it th

Is the Sn% of the plating of the pin related to wetting quality?. I am having issues with one IC maker where some pins are OK and one or two pins are not soldered, even when there is weeting evidence underneath the pin. I am blaming the %Sn too hig

I have been involved in SMT for only a few months so I am coming from a position of extreame ignorance. I have been asked to investigate the differences in soldering to components with Paladium coated leads vs the standard Tin_lead. I would appreci

Hi guys HELP!!!!!!!!!! I have been tasked with working out a chart to show calibration acCuracy and that my machines are in control I say to myself I know they are cause I have no misplacement of fine pitch but this is not good enough for my co

The tooling fixture has tooling pins to accomidate your PCBs. Typical PCB tooling holes are 0.125" dia. non-plated thru holes and 0.250"x0.250" from the edge of the PCB. Check out this link to EMC Global Technologies. They mfg. tooling fixtures for U

Sorry I didn't close this one off last year... We had some failure analysis done on these PCB's ( 3D x-ray,microsectioning,SEM) and the results definitively proved that there was some contamination @ the base of the uvia's that had the voiding. It ap

Does any body know how many US or europe based component manufacturers have decided not to use Sn/Bi on lead plating. Most of far east manufacturers seem to have selected Sn/Bi on their component finish. Intresting articles on Samsung,Epson and OKI w
