| Hey Ya'll! | | Have any of you ever worked with one of V-Tek's "Economax" tape and reel machines? The biggest thing I'm curious about is the type of cover tape that these machines use. It's something they call P.S.A. (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive)c

I like what you're doing. 20 years ago anyone, hobbyists and tiny garage-shop companies could create electronics devices just as sophisticated and cool as big corporations. Today, SMT has largely trashed the creativity (and competition) that existe

Thinner: Flux thinner, NOT paint thinner We kept a spare stone in thinner in inventory. We cut PVC pipe to size, cap in one end, screw thread on the other, stone inside, filled with flux thinner and covered with a screw cap. I don't remember who we

Steve: Continuing with Dan�s thinking, generally, "poor release" (paste hanging-up in the stencil holes) could have three main (or combination of) causes: 1 Equipment: Stencil is too thick. Specifically, your 0.006 should be OK, providing you don�

Smaller companies many want to rent a machine, but may not necessarily use it 24/7, and a smaller machine may require less expertise to use. If many small machine can work fast enough, it can operate for less time and reduce operating costs. (I'm mo

Thank you- my point exactly and it starts in SMT- operators pulling the wrong paste from the fridge, touch up using the wrong solder wire, etc. My solution- GET THE LEAD OUT!!!!! I'm a CM- high mix, low to medium volumes. No steady all day every day

Is that accurate? If so, what are your aspect & area ratios? [Similar to the JerryS comment above.] * You say, � � and the average height is very high: nearly 200 pct.� => Our troop can make paste that height too. They snap the stencil-off a fast as

Off hand, I can't recall a "formula" for how long boards could sit in a specific RH environment. I've done a couple of quick Google searches, and can find a bunch of information on the dispersion rate of moisture in various PCB materials, but, nothi
