This runs up a big caution flag in my mind! Counterfiet parts are often produced by removing the original markings and remarking the ICs with different part and lot numbers. I am not accusing you of this BUT we have recently been bit by counterfei

Yep, many of us have seen this firsthand. I had a customer who fouled up a job, then "found" a deal on some (10) very expensive Xylinx parts, and badly needed these parts to complete the job. Everything looked good afterwards, but nothing worked. X

There must be discussions about this on SMTnet but I have yet to find them. I would like to hear from all you smart people about running LF and PB BGA�s on the same board using 63/37 solder. If you run your profile up to peak at around 225C +/- (nitr

We are also having some issues with certain small parts. In our case this is tantalum caps and 0402 caps. We had a vendor admit after much discussion that the plating used from a particular orgin was different on the tantalums. The tehory is thatthsi

Chunks, If you ever come across such a report please let me know. As you already know RoHS (lead free) was not based on any scientific evidence that lead in electronics was bad for health or environment. WEEE would have been the right way to go �enc

I've talked to several Applications Engineers and Chemists from a couple of different paste manufacturers and they confirm that the profiles on their data sheets are nothing but guidelines. It's up to you, Process Engineer or Process Tech, to develo

bsumfg, The very best anybody said lately!! This should go straight into the the manual! I totally agree with you; Just an add: The fid's should never be mistaken for a test point who normally is between 1.0 - 1.27 mm so make the fids 1.5 mm. round
