Seriously, OSP?, change the board finish, you are the OEM, correct? You have the power! Also, as another poster mentioned, high force applied at ICT ( possibily to cut through the OSP goop ?!? ) could be warping the board enough to crack the joints.

to get a 0-defect layout, OEM and CM have to work together, If you know what connections (balls) are the problem ones, let me know, and send me the gerber-layers + solderpaste layer, so we can see if the problem is design related or if you CM realy

Your process makes a bigger difference than the machine. I worked for and OEM with Panasonics. They eliminated all 5% resistors, wider tolerance capacitors, and went with as many dedicated feeders as we could. We also staged jobs. We had one runnin

We have eliminated the adhesive process as much as possible. We do paste in hole where possible and selective solder the remaining components or hand solder them. We looked at this a number of ways and determined the selective soldering and hand sold

Fuji makes a jig called the all in one jig. It is about 18K I think. It has an LCD display with various other bells and whistles. We use the older style one (from Fuji) that has a microscope on it. I think SMT Research and a couple other after marke

It's an Horizon (01) with large board (24" x 30")capability. Some software issues, as the OEM stopped progressing software on this machine (an offshoot of Horizon 7SP02) and never made final release Typhoon software compatible with this (Same with Vi

Of course if you are an OEM you could go back to your design engineers and tell them via's in SMD pads is unacceptable. Put that in your DFM design guidelines. If you are an EMS provider you can also influence your customer by explaining the impa

Not only is "designing for the processes is good", it should be required and enforced. Obviuously, one should not conider 'every' design rule - but on most observations. Otherwise those 'smart' OEM's often loose out in the long run. Pssst - they'

Hi all! Heres wishing everyone a Happy & Prosperous 2008!! We are a small OEM/CM that use Ni tabs in our design/applications. We have a request to use Stainless steel to reduce/eliminate the Ni content. Can Stainless steel be soldered? If yes, is ou

I am the manufacturing engineer for a small electronic OEM who also provides EMS for other local electronics companies. We are located in Montana (USA). In 2007 I made 36K. While that seems low, remember that my commute to work is only 10-15 min a
