How are companies working to comply with California Prop 65?

Electronics Forum | Tue May 22 14:35:27 EDT 2018 | designchain

Most are reaching out to suppliers and asking whether the parts/materials they are buying contain any of the Prop65 substances. Others already have that info because they've been collecting it all along. The challenge, after getting the data, is det

Need help on improving design - Automatic Pick & Place Coil

Electronics Forum | Mon Aug 06 14:37:32 EDT 2018 | dleeper

What about some kind of surface mount clip? Solder the clips to the PCB and then insert the coil manually? IT adds a little labor but at least your coil won't move. For reference here's a company that makes that sort of thing. There are plenty of ot

QFN Rework Issues

We’ve done similar projects. FR-811 with camera system for alignment. More cost effective than split vision. Bottom heat uses solid surface for contact heating similar to heating microwave module chassis. Our rep can arrange a demo if you haven’t

Can anyone help understanding the function of the oil in a bi-components Thermal Interface Material ? After a while, when the material is stored, the oil comes up in the surface : shall we remove it ? shall we re-integrate it into the TIM ? what if w

BGA rework clearance

Electronics Forum | Fri Apr 26 05:50:54 EDT 2019 | ppcbs

We just apply tacky flux to the surrounding components and to the bottom side components under the BGA. This will prevent cold solder if any solder joints reach reflow temperature the surface tension will keep them aligned and in place. If you nee

Stencil nano coating worn out

Electronics Forum | Fri Jan 10 03:40:41 EST 2020 | jakapratama

Hi, Some nano coat supplier said that you can drop water to the surface where the coating supposed to present before to check. If it's beading, it's still there. I take it that you meant by self in-house wiping of coating, yes? Stencil supplier nan

we are obliged by customer specifications that there will be no glue despensing process on the production line.. also that the glue dispensing process is very complicated for this case .. we could have glue splash on top surface of pcb so that will

Why gold plating on PCB?

Electronics Forum | Fri Feb 28 08:48:00 EST 2020 | SMTA-Joe

We've made the decision to move towards Gold Immersion on our PCBs to eliminate flatness issues with QFNs and BGAs. Land/component pad geometry, population density, and other factors, have made it necessary to ensure a near perfectly flat surface tha

I have one product which only need print low temperature solder paste on OSP pad. This pad will used for hot bar process. Desired solder paste thickness is 0.10 mm to 0.15 mm. Is any one can advise right stencil thickness and aperture opening for it.

Bright Tin metalisation on CHIP components

Electronics Forum | Fri Jan 22 13:22:18 EST 2021 | davidhillman

Hi Graham - brite acid tin gets it "shiny" appearance due to codeposited organic material in the tin plating. The codeposited materials volatilize during the soldering process causing a ton of voids. Brite acid tin plating should not be used as a sol
