Sorry I have just started working in this industry so I am not as familiar with everything. The probelm is with the Product shorting because of small pieces of metal stretching accross two leads of an IC. This could be a result of faulty equipment?

Hi All, Recently, we encountered strange defect at our SMT line. We can see solder ball spatter around at one of the component pad. This lead to insufficient solder defect at 1 side of the component. The other side of the component look good(Meet

This is what I was thinking, but I am being beat up pretty badly by the selective solder. Ambient temperature is anywhere in the the neighborhood of 76 - 80 degrees F. I am not sure of the RH, but I wouldn't think that would be my issue... One of

By definition, no clean solder can be not-cleaned. The solder/flux are formulated to result in low ionic-contamination, hence, no cleaning. I have, however, always had at least one customer that requests their no-clean solder get cleaned. No-clean

Hi aj, We recently purchased an AOI machine. While doing the first pass research to see which machines to put through a head to head competition I discovered a major improvement in the programming for newer machines. If you buy used, get one that

How did I know senior was going to get in here too. Nice to see you again. I figured as much with the height difference, but I do not have the equipment here to test my thoughts. We somehow have our machine dialed in to run the 0201 parts with W

We have a lead free assembly with a 128-Pin PQFP with 20 mil pitch leads. We have tried stencil aperture reductions, step-down stencils, different thickness stencils, various printer setting changes, placement pressure changes, nozzle changes, moved

My guess is that either the board house did not cool the boards down properly coming out of the lamination oven. Typically after they come out of the heat chambers they go into a cool down chamber for x amount of time, if they cool to fast or are pu

Solderpaste types have a big effect on print performance. Go to this link to see if the solderpaste you are using has been tested, see "Rheometric Pump Paste Tests" under MPM: http://www.speedlinetech.com/news_publications/application-notes.aspx?OnI

There are a couple of things that you can do. First thing to do is take a flashlight and shine it in the card edge connector of slot 2 and see if a passive component or any other part worked its way into that slot. This will cause multiple leads in
