| Thanks Dave, | | But still I have the following question unanswered, in a technical point of view: | Has it sense to measure this on A system like we have now, because there are no wires that can be broken. | George: While I agree that no wires c

The registration went great. I especially love the fact that we can see how many hits were done. At the start I was a little afraid of the change because the site was all I wanted it to be at the time but you guys have proven me wrong it could be bet

I view "List By Thread" exclusively. So, I never realized, until today, that I am unaware of messages moving through SMTnet on "List By Message" that don't shw-up on "List By Thread." For "List By Threaders" these messages are totally unseen. The

| During inspection and test we find leads which do not get soldered. Some are because of insufficient paste, but with others everything looks right. This will only happen on 1 to 2 pins, and it is not isolated to a specific type of ic or location o

A question for you all! Back in the good old days, we didn't always know how clean was clean. Much has changed. Much hasn't. My question concerns cleaning under, through, and around tight spaces. Way back when, we could not clean under 20 mil pitch

Another concern is that some bulk feeders present resistors upside-down 50% of the time; I'm told that this can affect heat dissipation and cause other problems (e.g., hidden partmark). Note: this is not a problem with chip capacitors because they'r

| DO you know of an Industry Standard that describes solder paste geometries requirements? | If it were only so! Most people I work with, because of so many variables concerning solder paste, its composition, particle size and shape, and application

Think of this: I have an entry in the "for sale" section in the PCBCE mart thats 2 months old. I still have this machine and want to lower the price. So I update the entry. Noone cares. Why? Because the entry is still number 178 from the top, noone
