So would the proper technique be as follows: 1. Grounded operator picks up PCB from ESD rack and attaches a 1meg(wrist strap cord)shunt to ground to a grounding surface on the pcb. 2. operator sprays conformal coating onto pcb using a spr

Masdi, Try board shunts. They are hi-temp rubber strips with grooves cut. They can be popped on and off with ease and are much faster than taping and considerably cheaper. They also work great for masking goldfingers prior to wave soldering. Contac

We theorize a secondary [bottom] side BGA can be wave soldered with planning. Issues are: * Keepout between the BGA and one side of the board that is clear of PTH parts requiring wave soldering, so to support the fixture. * Keepout around the BGA. *

Thoughts are: * Eliminate solder spotting on gold fingers through process improvement in broard handling, printing paste control, and reflow recipe development. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for previous discussions. * Dispense or print a reflow te

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

1 to 1 stencil aperture to pad should be fine on the gull leads, and yield 100% coverage with leaded solder. The thermal pad is going to be a challenge though, if you truly need 100% coverage. There will be out gassing from the flux and this will nee

We use boots / shunts er wutt ever you call them to protect solderable component surfaces from wave soldering. Not sure how it would work in your case try: * Kinnarney Rubber 450 Main St. P.O.Box 37 Mantua, N.J. 08051 609-468-1320 fax 7438 http://ww

All the comments that have been made a great but I do have to say that much of the problem comes back to the design engineers not designing for manufacture. Centre board supports would have sorted the problem without jigs. | | I am running a board t
