There is no standard as such. It's easy to see why. It's too complicated and has such a small payoff. Standoff is comprised of: * Package height * Solder thickness between the pad and the component lead * Delta of pad thickness and solder mask For p

MSL 1 is unlimited factory floor time before reflow. I have spools that are 10+ years old and haven't encountered any issues using those parts. It goes without saying those parts are not exactly used in volume so its not a massive sample but that is

Check the pad size. I had this issue before due to the pad size too wide. R&D had change the size of the pad and is solve the issue. Before the pad size change, I had rebuild another stencil with the pad opening close to the component size. It won't

First, what on the area array package are you analyzing � * Package cracking? * Cracked solder balls? * Er, what? Second, most failure analysis discussions consider dye penetration to be a non-destructive test, but then again most failure analysis

| | | I am in the process of picking a new resistor network for one of our new board. Since we are new to SMT i would like to get some opinions on networks. Currently we use one molded gullwing type network on our boards with no problems. Other than

The manufacturer I was having issues with was Panasonic. The parts we use were unmarked, but their catalog pages didn't make any mention of marking and included photos of marked parts. After 6 months of making various unsuccessful contacts with Pan

I have come across a rash of failed assemblies that have 0805 capacitors and resistors, bottom side glued, wave soldered and washed. Trouble shooter reported touching up the solder joints on a few areas and the boards would pass test. I had a look a

I have an old Zevatech 740 machine that, until recently, was running well. In the last few weeks, the RH head has started giving me issues. When it picks up a component (and early on in most of my programs it will be picking up chip resistors or ca

OK, with my masterful powers of deduction, I have been able to resolve the problem. Upon further investigation, it became apparent that the issue was restricted to those components that had the laser alignment level in the component data set to -0.2
