Hi Dave, What feeder model do you have? I took a quick look in my parts list manual and again, depending on your feeder model, you might be able to buy the needed part(s) from Zevatech/Juki. Have you checked with them yet? For example, the main feed

Sal, Interesting problem, I have found that W.S. pastes tend to have a shorter tack time in real life than what is advertised. Usually the manufacturers specify tack time as after placement let the board sit and then turn it upside down and see if

Are we talking midship SMT or wave soldering? SMT - I have found the best method is not having them (WOW) this can be accomplished through pad design, aperture design, placement accuracy, and profiling, It is my understanding however, that these

We're quoting out a new board design, and one of the prospective suppliers is pitching a silver coating process over hot air leveling. We haven't had experience with boards of this type, and I am concerned about any processing issues that may come u

This is just an Alert: We had a lesson on the effect of air shipments of devices which have been fully saturated with moisture. After being in a pressure cooker for two hours in Singapore, devices were sealed in metalized vapor barrier bags. They we

By Hot Air Knife I assume (leave it alone Dave F.) that you mean a debridging knife located at the exit end of a wave solder machine. Russ is right, they are not a good substitute for a good process, but once the process (w/o HAK) is developed, it

Hi Jacqueline, - what a name in this technical world - I just tried the calculator and for example choose the CQFP and then selected other and an input mask appeared where you have to fill in the required data from the components datasheet. I have to

Hi Jacqueline, for the "manufacturing allowance" IPC says FAB.TOL. is the board manufacturing tolerance and PLACE ACRCY is the pick and place accuracy. For 0,8 mm pitch they give for both values 0,1 mm. Solder joint design goal data comes from empir
