Mornin! We just had vendor in here pitching a "low-temperature rework system" which was intriguing, but too expensive. He did get me to thinking though, beyond heating ceramic caps before hand-soldering them, it seems like it would be advantag

200 boards/Hr and oven will reflow ~180 boards/Hr but the P&P machine will only place 700-950 CPH when setup is taken into account. Minimum pitch is normally .020" and we place an Avg. of 491 TSSOPs and 217 BGAs a month. We don't even bother with 04

IPC7912 deals with the end result, ie an OEM getting boards from a contract manufacturer. I have a friend who is sitting on these committees. He tells me there is a new standard due out for actually doing in-process DPMO. From a process standpoint

We have had some discussions about what causes parts to lift out of the holes when going over the wave on our flow solder machine. The machine being used is a Treiber (700 series). There are two bottom pre-heaters and one top pre-heater. We try to pr

I think I had my units wrong in my previous post - that blueprint job was 6 years ago and fading fast. My level of 700 would have the same units as Dave's level of 1000. This is the metric measurement of lux, vs the imperial footcandles. fc to lux

Doug, Ooooooooo. You're correct Vinny has to be talking about Rogers teflon boards. Vinny, There are many different types of PTFE based products. Generally speaking, PTFE has a melting point of 620degF and withstands solder reflow and HASL proce
