Hello!!! Just to say, I've never even heard about placing parts on double-sided tape for inspection... We always build one board placing parts on paste/glue and inspect it befor reflow. With suppliers specs of 6hours at least, I don't see any prob

Your thinking is correct. Wave soldering pads that were designed for reflow can create problems: * Large pads used for reflow [too much solder] can create reliability problems. * Bridging [too much solder] creates rework. * Skipping & shadowing from

Flex cracking under the terminations is generally regarded as one of the primary causes of failure of ceramic chips. If you can see cracks in the solder joints from board flex, those chips are certainly strongly suspect, and you must assume there is

I would like to understand what different options people are using to place low volume / odd form parts. I am very familiar with the tweezers / vacuum pen method however this can be less than desirable. I am looking into a manual pick and place to

First, it�s GREAT that your defect rate of 282 is very close to your Boss� goal of 50 ppm. Second, your Cpk and your ppm numbers don�t tie out with our expectations. You say Cpk for: * mounter is 1.0 and �your mounting is 83ppm�. * printing is 1.33

We are going to begin using a 64 pin 10mm QFP with 0.5mm lead pitch. I was recently asked if we need to purchase our PCB with E3 coating instead of tinned pads when using the .5 pitch. The concept being suggested is that the E3 coating will give us b
