Pascal, Hopefully, the system that you invest in will have a programmable drying cycle as one of its features. As far as humidity content is concerned, I am sure that some more learned colleagues may be able to help you. Although, I believe some p

One of our distributors currently uses PSA cover tape. This has given us too many problems. We are in the process of trying to decide wether or not to fund them with the money they need to be able to use HAA process(they currently have capability). C

Depending on how wrong the pinout is another possibly a little less ugly option would be to bend the wrong pins up then wire them to the correct pads after reflow of the correct pins. You may want to trim the ends of the pins a bit use heat shrink or

I recently have been examining multilayer board failures. They are the classic inner connection failure between the foil and the through hole plating which I have not seen in many years. Has any one experienced any issues recently specifically relati

Matt, I suppose the automated system you refer to is the VPD-101 camera system that captures component image and with a few clicks on the mouse you are able to define all the element data and dimensions of that part. Check with your local Fuji agent,

I had a problem accessing my mail for along time, however, that is resolved now. Now I am having trouble sending email - I sent a test message to an internal smtnet recipient and one to an external recipient and both went OK. Other than that I have

Right now we are using a custom built web email solution to provide SMTnet web email. Unfortunately the service agreement recently expired and I have to keep a fairly close eye on it to make sure that it is running. Within the next few weeks we will

You should be able to do it with the proper epoxy. I found one several years ago that was so strong during the sheer test the board delaminated and gave before the glue. I did not go with it for rework reasons, that�s something you might want to th

The SMT LAB at Universal Instruments Corp. has presented a paper entitled "Process parameters optimization for mass reflow of 02\01 components" at APEX 2000. If you weren't able to attend, an excerpt is available at www.UIC.com, under the AUTOMATION

Your solder paste manufacturer should determine the time. As far as temperatures those will very with each board. Creating a profile comes down to trial and error, there are some nice tools that help, the MOLE profiler is one, but there are just wa
