In a similar conversation ... Alex Krstic, NovAtel Inc. said ... Hello all. We recently received some boards with some of the chip resistors placed with their resistive elements towards the board. J-STD-001B and C view this as violation for both Cl

I only inhale flux with a high IPA content.(joke for those who don't know me) I have seen the inside of duct work for our wave soldering machine............NASTY! DAVE F. is right! Flux contains a lot of bad stuff- Chlorides, Bromides, Flourides,

Susan- My son would be very happy if you would guarantee his happy meal electronic toy for five years. As previously noted, "workmanship" is the key. CAL DRISCOLL CONTRACT MANUFACTURING, Inc. (if there were such a company) would build to IPC 610 or

oktayunsal- Machines are your secondary problem. Knowing and understanding SMT process is your biggest obstacle. SMT process involves Electrical, Chemical, Industrial, and mechanical engineering disciplines.As a start I would begin with IPC related

Philip: Cases 1-3, those criteria may be specified in more recent versions of ANSI/J-STD-001 and/or ANSI/IPC-A-610. Unfortunately, I do not have any new versions of these specs. that may cover these points. As for voids in BGA joints, I have not

Searching the IPC website is a good start. http://www.ipc.org Some standards you may want to look over are.... IPC 600, IPC 610, J-STD-001 "riveting and circuit cards into metal shelf" definitely has my curiosity level elevated. Since you know your

Circuits Assembly magazine 09/99 "Defluxing with Ultrasonics" by Les Hymes. [There's more but I can't find it right now. I'll add to this as I find the junk, er very nice stuff.] J-STD-001C states that its OK to use ultrasonics for cleaning so lon

Wolfgang: Sure, stacking chip components is common practice in prototyping, as you say, but it's not good practice for production work. Documentation: * ANSI-IPC-275 does not allow stacking * MIL-STD-2000A does not allow stacking * J-STD-001B is u
