We have been using a silicone encapsulated, high flex, flat cable for a short time now and have not been succusfull in terminating it to connectors with shell housings designed for round cable. Our solution thus far has been to leave the housing off

We are having trouble with some through-hole connectors "shorting out" on a thick backplane. Preliminary research is suggesting that it may be due to excess flux, trapped under the plastic connector shell. I have done a bit of searching in the fine S

Gregg, We had a similar problem with our 0603 leds. They were being placed bang on, however, during the reflow, they twisted, fell sideways etc. We played with our profile, played with the paste volume & land pattern design, and only had a small impr

I am breaking a cardinal rule with this reply, but here goes. I believe almost every one is missing this one. Roger has hit the nail on the head. The gentleman is useing a clam shell printer and when the stencil lifts (too fast) and at the angle o

Good morning all. We are able to offer some insight into the problem and offer a recommended reflow profile to solve this issue, but it really depends on the solder paste that you use, as different manufacturers use different boiling point solvents.

David, We have seeing this more and more in the recent weeks. In a nut shell, yes; we believe that the voids that you are seeing are from the trapped air in the via from printing over it. If you could remove the Kapton tape, this might help. Also

If you are talking about the REM oil sold for guns then I would not use it personally. B.T.W. REM oil has teflon in it. I quit using it on my guns because of its poor performance. It now resides in my garage...I use it to lube the axles on my push m

Last year I had my doctor do a lead test during one of my regular blood tests. My exposure at work is similar to most of you, I'm sure. I've been doing this for 13 years now. We do predominantly leaded solder processing through SMT and wave. I wash m

I use the LPKF model S. Operator uses a urethane(?) squeegee. Pressure and speed are controlled by the operator, which hasn't been a problem for me. The only problem I had was that I would forget to raise the PCB before I would start to squeegee the
