As we navigate through the CORVID-19 pandemic, many essential manufacturing facilities are still on line and operating. Some at reduced or modified schedules in following the guidelines to help reduce the spread of this virus. My question is in rega

Time. The virus does not last a very long time on surfaces. Not sure how long but I read that it does not live long on copper but does last on stainless steel. As far as I know the virus lives as well on gloves as it does on hands. So you still have

Hi all. A recent board has shown some issues with graping and non-wetting on some 0402 capacitors. I believe we have the issue sorted. A combination of a 4 mil stencil with 2 mil reduction not giving us enough paste, and too long of a soak profile.

The size of the pad changes among the two. A solder mask defined pad will always be larger than a copper defined by your mask expansion setting. This will affect paste volume, if your standard paste aperture is designed for copper defined pads you m

The QFP pitch is 0.5mm. Pad size is 1.475 x 0.3mm, and the new aperture size is 1.32 x 0.22mm. I'm not sure about whether or not it is lasered, but on the newly ordered stencil I selected the polishing option. Looks like the pad width is already 2/3

Yes, we can't use pure Pb PROCESS. And as I say we will not use it anyway, as we have lead-free BGA's, LGAs, component with Solder Charged Terminations... It's became almost normal practice to solder it with leaded solder pastes. In this case peak re

Thanks for the reply... I have two camera types Low Res and Hi Res... I use the Low Res which is just for the 'absence' of part ie. empty feeder etc so it just makes sure the part got picked up... I could try the High Res camera, but it does increa

See attached snippet from a datasheet: Syringe 1. Twist and remove the cap from the syringe. Do not discard cap. 2. Measure 1 part by volume of A. 3. Measure 1 part by volume of B. 4. Dispense material on a mixing surface or container, and thoroughl
