Hello all, I'm working at a CM with less then ideal material storage shelving when it comes to ESD protection. I've got ordinary painted shelving units that I need make ESD safe. I'm considering dissipative mats or spray coatings for each shelf, t

What is changing the marking on the part? * Is flux residue coating the part to change the the way light reflects from the part surface? [Run a board with tape on the part, then remove the tape prior to AOI] * Is the heat of the oven changing the mar

Here's what I do: - Test Surface Insulation Resistance (we're in the high reliability market and use a test significantly harder than IPC's). I also test SIR in combination with other assembly materials like conformal coatings and wave solder flux

Oh. [Howabout if I smack you?] If ahma connectin� wif whut yer sayin�, you: * Don�t like the appearance of the glue slobberin� out from under the component even though there is no apparent glue on solderable surfaces. * Concerned about the hydrosco

We know nothing about Envivar UV 1244 and you weren't real clear about the details of the problem or the materials [eg, ws flux, solder mask, etc], but we'd speculate your adhesion problem goes back to the cleanliness of your board. First by 'alcoho

We have been using SN100C lead free hasl for over a year now with good success. It is very solderable and has good shelf life. You do have to make sure the finish gets applied to the correct thickness. If the lead free hasl finish is not applied thic

I've had good and bad experiences with OSP's. First of all, ask yourself, "Why use an OSP?" If you don't need it, don't use it. Solderability is dependent upon the number of thermal passes (the fewer, the better), the thickness of the coating, the

hi here are consolidated inputs to you you must validate before establishing your process. ESD-safe Material: Ensure that the masking tape is made of ESD-safe materials that have low triboelectric charge generation. Common materials used in ESD-sa

Steve, I know it is tempting to go for the cheapest method of applying conformal coatings but I must warn you. If you are a contract manufacturer then you don't want to limit yourself in the types of coatings you can work with. Just as soon as you se
