If you get the dummy components catalogs from Topline, http://www.topline.tv and Practical Components, http://www.practicalcomponents.com you will have most of the common SMD parts. There have been many inquires about a master list, or complete list

This information is normally available in the component's data sheet (typically toward the end where the packaging is detailed.)

There 2 main rival standards for orientation in tape and because you can't really trust manufacturers to stick to one or the other or something else entirely it is always wise to check the datasheet. Typically an SOIC will have pin 1 the same end as

Does anyone use the "Quick Frame" with their Dek printer? The threads on the screws keep stripping, so we thought maybe we'd send our frames to a machine shop for heftier screws. Has anyone done this? Is there a better way? Isn't it weird how Alpha k

Before risking screwing up the alignment of the frame, and upon the advice of several SMTNET users, I decided to see if I could get away W. just changing the screws. I found screws with 2x the pull strength as Alpha's. But they didn't fit!! The Alph

Right now we are taping the goldfingers which is effective but also expensive. Also, some tape was leaving yellow marks on the goldfingers. We're trying the so-called goldfinger glove from Steven's Products. It's a very small company (probably one gu

I was wanting to know if there was any type of formula that I could use to determine the correct packaging for a SMD For example, if I have the component measurements, can I find out what the correct width and pitch of the tape it comes in should be

| There is a practise within the industry of an Inspector inspecting a board, and that same Inspector performing touch-up. My opinion is that the Inspection and Touch-up operations should be separate functions whereby the Inspector is not performing
