Here in the Great White North, the best way to check our CM's compliance with the ESD 20.20 is to take a couple months worth of data during heating season and graph it against the outside temp swings. You can easily see how the HVAC system keeps up,

i have a problem with some units that had one capacitor only soldered in one side, the geometry of the capacitor is 0805, our product during his life suffer a lot of stress (due temperature or vibration), some of those units are already with the cost

Morning All Attended APEX this year and this quesiton came up quite a bit from users. I had some conversations with my co-workers on the wave side and others at the show. Dross is an oxide, lighter than the metals so it floats just as pmdeuel st

Try sliding a standard plastic trash can liner in and out of the can a few times, then crumble up a few styrofoam (polystyrene) packing peanuts and dump the bits in. You'll be lucky if any of the bits even reach the bottom, unless it's an ESD safe re

Hi, I am currently looking for a replacement solvent to remove RMA flux from Hybred Ceramic Substrates after reflow. We are currently using Dichloromethane in a Crest AVD500 wash. This solvent carries an R40 risk phrase, hence we are on a drive f

In my past experience, having via's under or attached to SMD lands produces risk. Solder will not consistently wick the same if it is being drawn into a via. This has also caused issues from solder wetting through the via to the other side causing a

Hi Davef, Do you means it is natural for tin diffusion to copper trace during SMT process? but I could not detect tin in UHAST T=0 unit, and the tin diffusion was found only in copper trace of C4 cage. Two question: 1) Could you tell me which pr

Thank you for your response. We build boards on an SMT line that is shared with other companies too and are currently using water soluble flux based solder paste on both boards. We realized an issue with washing on one of the boards so requested to

Hi Dave, Thanks a lot for your reply. After doing some process work on a Laser Etching machine it was brought to my attention by a colleague that if the solder mask was being penetrated fully, we could be at risk for absorption of moisture leading

You can try putting titanium stiffeners on the PCB to prevent it from warping. How thick is your stencil? More paste would give you a wider window however too much and you risk bridging. You could try over printing the pad at the heel and toe to get
