I have a component that is glue cured on the bottom of a pcb. The component is a 1206 size jumper. It is made up of iron/nickel alloy. The problem I am having is that the part will fall off the board during wave solder. Is the component not able

We are in need of a low cost system for the rework of various SMT devices. Ideally the machine should support BGA, SQFP, and large PLCCs. Is it a dream to ask for SMT tweezers, a regular iron, and a convection pencil as well? Want a machine to cover

I like to secure the thermalcouples with a small dot of chip-bonder(surface mount adhesive). The chip-bonder will cure durring the first pass through the oven. After I have developed my profile I remove thermalcouples and the chip-bonder with a solde

Have never heard of solderballs during rework using solder wire. Noticed the tendency to have little balls of flux with too hot iron and lots of solder used for shields or massive cables to be connected. Seems to me a question of believe if it does

I had recently encounter the "black and grey" pads problems for the BGA pad after the convection re-flow. The pads shows in in "black and grey" color and a litter solder in it, and it happen in ramdom, when applied heat and solder on the "black and g

A real small soldering iron, a real steady hand, a qualified solderer. Soldering skill set is key. Iwould sugest a Micro scope. Sonora Mfg (I am sure there are others)has an infinate scope that you can solder under. aside from that....skill set.

We are starting to see a large increase in the use of through board gold plated connectors that require hand soldering with the limitation of .o6" encroachment up the pin. What is the best way to accomplish this? we currently scrap about 5-10% of t

I have an assembly that requires hand solder a part that is in very close proximity to a plastic housed PCI connector. I am using a Metcal iron and am interested if anyone has developed a shroud that will allow soldering in a tight cavity but not me

On the Iron shaft? Why not on the connector to be protected. Actually now that I think back, I seem to remember seeing Kapton tape used on a part in a similar situation, but that I believe was a rework situation. Putting Kapton tape on every assembly

I would like to hear from anyone who has ever successfully spliced conveyor belts, or who know's where I can get my hands on a splicing iron. I have belts that are broken or just need lenght modifications. please let me know if anyone does this and w
