I have over 10 years experience in aerospace materials, part of which was involved with vacuum casting inert propellant formulations. These propellants are in the range of 80 - 90% solids loaded with viscosities of 15 kP. I'm not sure where I could

Okay, you have only few different product. Smallest package is 0402 and biggest is 144 pins ic. So, maybe you don't need get high-speed machine. You must place about 12000cmp/hour. You can buy quite cheap placement machine. I can't tell what is good

Sounds like someone aimin� fo tha big hurt, if ya axes me. Two spots to place your lawn darts are: 1 J Hwang in "Modern Solder Technology � " states (p.354) that " � extreme CTE mismatch between silicon IC (~2) and the PCB (~16), solder connections

Hi Doug: Responding to your questions: � If gold over nickel is self limiting ... You didn�t say whether you gold plating was electroless or immersion. Electroless is not is self limiting. It can plate up to 5 thou. Expect immersion plated gold to

Hi Steve: Easy question, Klein Wassink is THE BOOK. It is head and shoulders above the others. Coombs: Very good book, focused primarily on board fab with some discussion on assembly. Lea: A dated, once very good book. Rahn: Average book. Actu
