Hello I have a new 0402 pad design on a recent board were building in future. On closer look i thought the pad was a thru hole mount , but upon closer inspection the round pads are for 0402 comps. I had a discussion with the engineer and he said

Hi, Sounds like your engineer does not know what he's doing. We have developed and built hundreds of thousands of boards with normal square pads for 0402, and we just use a 5 thou stencil with 5% reduction and it works well. Decoupling? What is tha

Thank you for good answers. The Evest EM-780L machine that I linked to further up has a IPC-9850 at 25000 so if I get half I might be able to get the work done. How many people do you have working on the SMT line? Do you have all you're machines in

A bit more information will help people give a more educated response. What size res/caps? Any fine pitch ICs? BGAs? Lead or lead free? What quantity of components and/or boards are you loading? Will it be high mix, low volume or lower mix, hig

Hello all lets see you are wanting to place 60,000 parts a day make sure you derate the machines you are looking at to about half of what they claim and your change over will take some time as well we do several change overs each day up to six tim

Hello Jebs we started out that way but the more handaling of the pcb the more problems you will have if you can do it in line and have the pcb's stop at some of the conveyors you can do some inspection. yes all of our machine's are in line now we lo

For most applications, a nice square [or rectangle] pad works just fine. Assemblers ship boat loads of boards with these every day. It's reasonable for tight decoupling capacitor requirement applications to use round or radiused pads for components

Hi. the res/cap is mostly 805, solder paste will be led free and will only have a few fine pitch IC on each board. The boards will contain between 140 - 160 components and will run a production of 300 - 500 each day with only one or two different boa

agree, if you have fine pitch components the placement rate will be much less of what you see in the catalogues as they quote 0805 components placemen rate. I have one year log for one of our machine which is quoted to be 6400 cps and for one year a
