IPC-7530 "Guidelines for Temperature Profiling for Mass Soldering Processes (Reflow & Wave)" As you observe, the temperature you measure will depend on what you are measuring. For instance: * Hottest temperature in the oven - air in the oven * Hott

You weren't specific about the frequency band were you're operating. So, let's pound a couple of stakes in the ground. * Conventional tin-lead plating of 200-300 �m is quite satisfactory for lower frequencies in the range of 2GHz. * At frequencies h

Does anyone have experience with routing through areas of PCBs with Cu traces running through them. Trying concept to design in functional "wing" portions to our main board in an effort to get 2 in 1 functional boards - a fully functional main PCB

Hello all, Has anyone out in SMT land have any feed back on the Fuji Cp743 placement machine. We have older CP4-2 machines and they have held up pretty well...but we jumped on the Siemens band wagon 18 months ago and whamo...we have had more servic

DAVE- The way we got around it was simple- Our Mole for profiling is RF and the cell phones would interupt the data transfer so we nixed all cell use. Also, our BTU oven was in constant RF communication with our KIC and so cells were band from the fl

The MPM's are the Yugo's. You can fix anything on it with duck tape and a rubber band. I would go with the DEK. They are user friendly and reliable. Just make sure that if you are running double-sided boards to look into good push-up pins. They have

I had one SMT process engineer using rubber bands to hold a connector on second side reflow. Even the operators told him he was nuts. The zero stick through on leaded devices has come up several times for me. We clip leads first and pin in paste t
