Call your glue manufacturer. It sounds to me that the epoxy is not curing properly. You should also test for shear strenght. How many pounds of pressure does it take to "pop" a cured component after it comes out of the oven? What type of oven do you

Hi Read those guides again and then give IPC a call to see if they can direct you to any other materials. This stuff is quite old so they should have lots. The Mil does also. IPC does have a Designers Council that serves your area. Give the leaders

Cracked capacitors usually are not found at ICT. Unless the cap is completely cracked, the capacitance may not change much, and the usual failure mode is a leakage current. This is usually only seen in ESS type testing, when temperature and humidit

Russ, The caps are 0603 case size. I am not sure about the manufacturing details, as I work for the capacitor supplier. The manufacturing details are unclear at the moment, as the customer (South of the border) has not released such detailed inform

First I would have your solder bath analyzed by a certified lab. Secondly I would get an analysis from each supplier that you are speaking with on their solder bar. The lowest price does not necessarily mean the best product and vice versa. Alot of p

Hi, I currently work on SMT department to uptimize all process. I've just selected the solder paste after testing 15 different products. To be able to do that, I had to create a procedure to evaluate each paste and to be sure that my profil was per

Nobody seemed to notice, when Genrad started to collect license fee on used machines. These were different times and customers could effort the extra $ 15,000 software license fee. I totally agree with Jason that in these days, we turn the dime twic
