We're considering upgrading our existing Asymtek to the new Jet dispensing model. I would like to get feedback regarding robustness of this Jet dispenser, does it need more cleaning, how's the consistency, ect. If anyone has input for me I would appr

Do we really need not to locate vias underneath discrete components on a PCB that will be wave soldered after reflow even though we are using no clean process on our wave solder ? What are the possible cause and effect when locating Vias under discre

We have to place some LCC208's. The terminations are flush with the underside of the package, on an 0.5mm pitch. The pads on the board are flat tin. We'd like to get the part up in the air a little to provide some clearance for cleaning. Is there a w

For smaller companies, it is difficult to justify the ~$35k cost of products in the class that you sell. On the other side of things, sloshing boards and stencils in a plastic wash pan containing flux thinner is not a good option either. Neither is

We have a high-mix, low-volume type shop and clean over 50 stencils per day. The wash and rinse cycles in our aqueous stencil cleaner is ok, but the drying time takes too long (15 - 16 minutes per stencil). You indicate that hot air can damage a

Sounds like you received some good advice. Most of our stencils are used once a day [at most], so more often than not they are air dried. If we goof-up and need to reuse a stencil during a day when we have limited drying capacity, we wipe the lowes

Dear SMTneter's; I am looking for a few board manufacturers to evaluate a new product. This device is a tooling fixture that conforms to any board profile for support during single or double side printing or placement. It's clean, simple and very r

The environment essentially defines the need for coating. "Inside" may mean inside a men's locker room with attendant high humidity or inside a climate-controlled clean environment. Conformal coatings offer protection against moisture, fungus, chemi
