Has there been a definite date for the total move over to lead free? Will it be 2004 or 2008. Also is there a direct replacement for leaded solder, I have read various articles on numerous alloys suggested for the switch, such as bismuth, tin, copper

I just rooted through an analysis that we did five or six years ago [so current it aint] and finally found the goods. We talked to Vitronic, Heller, Electrovert, IR, and Conceptronic. Only Electrovert had a 2.75" throat [rail to top of board cleara

In our facility we face a lot of power failures due to the to the city electricity network problems.So, it has hppend many times to loose some PCA's inside the reflow oven. Of course it costs a big money tobuy a UPS for a reflow oven. One suggested

Since Vic posted me privately and asked for the SIR test parameters I spoke of in my other post, I thought I'd respond on the forum. Ok, here they are, per Joe Keller--Solder / process consultant AKA Manko..... This is an accelerated SIR / dendrite

This is not strictly a surface mount query but any input welcome I am thinking of using surface mount solder thief pads for a through hole connector. The connector is two rows of 0.1" pitch pins and on waving there is often a bridge on the last two p

0603's and 0402's are being damaged by the water wash post reflow. PCA's are 1" X 4" and 2" X 2" approximately. We've adjusted water pressure so that the top-down is higher than the bottom up. The baskets have a .5" mesh spacing. Some baskets h

I'm being driven to create a DFM guidelines document to keep our engineering team and customers from running amok. I've conceptualized an outline and basically know what needs to be covered but would like to plagerize all I can (more for photos/diag

I would appreciate any and all input on selection of ICT/ATE equipment. I'm a CM supplying various PCA's, none of which are designed with test points. I am looking for a robust, user friendly, low cost, low maintence that can be easily adapted for ea
