I guess we should differentiate between machine calibration, process reliability measurements and process capability study. For the machine calibration you use the machines own optical cameras, but for cpk or standard deviation you measure the place

We have seen "coplanar problems" on BGAs supplied by some suppliers. We have seen large enough spere variation to cause opens with our standard .006" paste process (paste and profile work fine "most" of the time) . Although not an extremely technic

Do some push / pull testing. Typically with black pad, you can flick the components right off the board. If you have this, the boards are about as reliable as a Yugo. If you get decent push / pull results, odds are you don't have black pad and you

Hey, I thought you were in the BIG house on some trumped-up tax rap. We use many RF shields each month. Generally, the shields are not plated and made of alloy 770 (or alloy 752), half hard temper, as the base material. * Alloy 770; 55%Cu, 27%Zn,

Jim, There are 2 thoughts to this technology. SMDP (Soldermask Defined Pads) Can achieve more uniform opening of the land, yet as you know Regisration shift of mask can become a problem. Also there has been debate as to whther SMDP cause crack p

The front plate of the S15 head gives you access to the signal amplifier boards. You'll find 4 potentiometers adjusting the voltage and the symmetry of track A and B. A digital scope turned to X+Y provides an image of a circle, which is been adjusted

We have also used the IIT Pro Plate II for many years. They sell a small storage cabinet (also overpriced) originally intended for drawing storage where the stencil foils hang in plastic envelopes. Another thing to consider with IIT is their $13 "sk

You can say "re-flow". It's related with the process. In order to assemble a PC Board containing lots of components such as PTH (Plated Through Hole) and SMT, usually, PTH type packages and components are soldered first using wave soldering process.

IF you open up your TV, cd player or color printer you will see RA / RMA flux ON EVERYTHING! The waxy binder protects the halogenated compounds from becoming active with atmospheric moisture. Self healing is a good way to look at it. However, OA is
