After some precursory experimentation, I am planing on employing a form of low melting temp solder for use in reworking some very dense, copper core PCB's, both SMT and THT, which were originally mounted with 63/37 solder. The main problem with the

Sr. Tech, youre absolutely correct that the X-Wagon (pancake) motor is the one which will do final positioning when moving to a programmed position. The X Axis motor in back of the machine is used for rapid traverse of the axis. I was thinking more

A few random thoughts: Nitrogen in reflow is mostly cosmetic, to get shiny joints on lead free. If you are getting good results without nitrogen now, there's no need to add it on your new line. Since power consumption is important, I would get spec

What's the reality of the situation? Are you creating a specmanship issue here just to satisfy Class 3? Can you demonstrate that the paste volume applied to the plastic QFP's give sufficient overall fillets for mechanical and electrical properties? W

All, We are getting ready to start running with 0201 passives. I have never run these before. We have run some 0402s however. We don't have any assemblies in-house yet, so I can't give any intelligent information regarding the board design (size,

Christopher: Thank you for sharing your experience about the DPAK. Yes, out part has a heat sink at the bottom. Our stencil opening was 7 mils (in both X and Y) smaller than the pad size excepting that the stencil opening consisted of a series of zeb

| Dear all, | | We've got a curious problem. We have had a major problem with BGA's occasionally being placed one to several rows or columns off the pads. We are using Universal's GSM2 platform for our general purpose placements. Our Universal re

| I need some advice concerning reflow of a BGA-292. Since I am not ready to change my entire process to no-clean, I decided to place the lone BGA-292 on a proto run using our BGA re-work station. The pcb is a moderately dense, single-sided, 8-laye

Your component is probably EPTSSOP [Exposed Pad Thin Shrink Small Outline Package]. We had a thread on EPTSSOP a couple of months ago. [Check the fine SMTnet Archives for background.] You�re correct that voids in the solder on the exposed pad [rea
