Hi All, A new version of Pad2Pad 1.3.0 is available for download. It contains multiple new price-time combinations. The list of parts and footprints is extended with DIP sockets, diodes, electrolytic SMT capacitors, popular transistors and ICs. Yo

WA Engineer, If you are able to change over to OA instead of RMA, you can clean effectively with DI water. (I know that some Military contracts specify RMA) Most systems are designed to filter the waste water of ionized contaminants before dumping t

For laser marking you don�t require as powerful lasers then for cutting. A 20 Watt laser diode does already a good job. Because of the safety requirements the laser operates in an enclosure, which means more $$$ if you want to use the laser in line

A couple of thoughts, 1. buy larger quantity reels and load more trays of the same P/N if your problem is replenishing the machine. 2. If you're talking about changeover I would suggest that the feeders be set up in the kitting process and deliverd

We have a need for expert opinions on a solderability issue. Our company prints and then reflows solder paste with no components in place. It is then washed and flattened with a special flattening machine. Usually, the paste fuses and spreads out

I wonder what that would look like? BUILD DCOUMENTATION Paste: OA XYZ-123 SOLDER PASTE. Note: Place refridgerated paste tube in Goldstar Microwave (3rd from the end of the break-room). Press "defrost" "forzen dinner". Do not defrost solder paste

Sr. Tech, when you say you have never had a problem, what exactly does that mean? How do you know you have never had a problem directly associated with your solder process? Do you actively measure your defect levels? How do you maintain traceabili

We have run not AgPd [that we know of]. We can comment on PdNi. [But you're probably have Ni under the AgPd] In general, palladium solution rate is much slower than other sacrificial finish materials that we use for the purpose. The key then is to

Yes unfortunately solder resist again, getting boring I know. That green stuff on the boards causes all kinds of problems if not applied correctly. Can't blame the flux (as usual) or the process as he has tried all varients to no avail and therosin s

What are you measuring? Actual placement speed vs. rated speed? Machine down time? A lot of this depends on your type of enviroment. If you build high mix/low quantity/prototype your numbers will be very low and will vary depending on the complex
