Ah, yes. The age-old battle of Production Supervision versus Process Engineering. I guess you just need to tell your Process Engineer, "Pretty please with sugar on top, investigate this f*cking issue."

RS sell a heat cun that is fully temperature adjustable buy one of them and pre set it to the right temp then put a calibration sticker over the control.

Heat guns used improperly will definitely damage components. You must have a controlled heat gun that can be set to the max temp you want pb =215C max, Pbfree maybe 240C max. This heat gun must not be able to be adjusted or you must have total trus

Relays huh? I can tell you from previous experience that relays are not a good heat gun candidate. Did you check how long this part can withstand the 240? I do not know what the 4 setting is on a liester but it is probably well in excess of the 24

There is none, since we don't know your part or temp being used. A heat gun CAN be used to remove parts with no damage, if its controled. You need to look up your part on the manufacturers web site, find the process data (time/temp)the part is desi

You see? Chunks, here has the right idea! To the original poster, you need to show this post to your "Desk Jockey" Process Engineer. That's the problem with some Engineers today. They forget everything they learned in Engineering school, they get

Comp is relay. I've pulled the spec. Max 240. Using Leister h/g with manual temp settings from 1-6 (20 - 600C)set by the operator. Gun was set to setting 4. They are using the heat gun to reflow the solder after SMT but before wave. High fai

Many relays use soldered post coil terminatins inside the relay. In one case many years ago I found the SMT relay manufacturer used eutectic solder inside their hermetic relay. The SMT relay would fail because the solder balled up on the post, woul

OK, this is easy. You say HIGH fall out, so I can assume 25 or 50%? If so, run 10 without the heat gun and 10 with. This should show you if the heat gun process is the cause or not. If the relay is a surface mount, hand solder them on. If it's a

Does anyone have any off-the-shelf tool for measuring air gaps under components? Specifically to measure if a part is raised beyond special specifications, such as determining if a leaded connector is raised beyond 5, 10 or 20 mils from the PCB surf
