Steve, TI does not produce any SOTs using Palladium finish leadframes. I would certainly be interested to know who is. Also, your observations are correct: In TI experience the mechanical strength of the solder joints with Pd finish ICs is alw

Jim, In most cases if you can eliminate a process you will save money. With that in mind, an all surface mount or all through hole design is prefered. There are alternatives to that rule, like hybrid designs that can be pin and paste soldered. It al

There is a big difference between SMD and SMT. One term denotes a device and the other a process.SMD, or surface mount devices, are electronic resistors that sit on a printed circuit board (PCB).SMT, or surface mount technology, is a method of placin

When you say "selecting correct value of the small chip components during assembly", you are referring to caps and resistors? and that you want to know that the correct cap or resistor was place in the correct location? your assembly is surface moun

| Greetings, | | We are discussing what should and what should not be baked and vacuum packed. Should we just concentrate on the fine pitch packages and the bga's? | What about those components which come on blister tape, should they get baked and r

I am interested in getting feedback from anyone who has or is reeling different parts on the same reel for pick and place. Our department is extremely high mix, extremely low volume. I am also very new to surface mount, and any experience with this

The Contamination has proven to be pretty random, lots of stainless steel though in fact two cases in the past two days. As far as I know all machinery is cleaned regularly as well, even the stencil washer itself. The boards we make are 90% (at l

I know that this not surface mount, but many of us have to perform multipule duties. Can anyone give me some information on this I am having problems getting relibility getingthe heat seal ribbon to make consistant electrical contact. Any help would

Not to squash anybody's ingenuity, but most of the problems that you're trying to solve have been solved, and fine tuned, over the last 30 years of SMT. (Surface Mount Technology) I'm all for reinventing the wheel, but I suggest taking some time to
