The last 3 posts were quite refreshing. I never said, but, I may have implied that "no tools necessary" is OK. No way. I honestly lost sleep over this thread. I was kinda playing "devil's advocate", but man what a response. I have been on every s

Chances are you are using this as a 2.5V voltage reference for the feedback on your regulator. One thing that isn't clear is exactly what failure you are seeing. Please specify the nature of the failure. Is your power bus out of spec? I really ca

Thank you guys. As we are speaking I keep examine the problem and here is what I got so far. 1. I measured the temperatures on my profile and the lead is hotter than the board. The lead goes 12 seconds earlier than the pad and is taking the solder.

I purchased the JW-3040 manual printer after seeing this company here. They were advertising the JW-3040 as new but their website said they specialize in used products. I specifically asked and was assured that the printer is new and comes with a squ

PCB Manufacturing demands preparation of design well in advance. The finalized designs are fed into the systems and the production is carried away. If the boards are of small sizes, multiple boards are made on a single large board and separated into

hi, there is an IPC standard, IPC-A-610 - Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies. According to this manual, solder in the bends of a lead does not matter, but solder touching the body of a component is a defect. I cannot find a specific reference in

I can't claim to be an expert....I've just bought a used RPS, and it'll be my first...but, after reading through their manual, and working on setting things up, I'd say: -Conceptually, I like the idea of moving the board rather than moving the entir

Funny, I just had this discussion on LinkedIn. Must be the season. It is always acceptable and preferably to profile every assembly, if you have the time, resources, and equipment to do it. That is the only way to get the most accurate information

As previous posters have mentioned you need to understand your product range, changeovers, number of feeders needed, critically local support, etc. I've used both and although the Europlacer feeders are nice they are also expensive. We have lot

Les, Some of the answers to design or stencil aperture/placement machine depend upon what is the current spacing between your components which you didn't specify. Chip components such as 0402's and 0201's typically have very small reductions in pas
