Only the manufacturer of this part can tell you if subjecting the entire assembly through reflow temps is okay. It is not a good assumption that "if a part can be hand soldered it can withstand reflow" there are many connectors/headers/buzzers/etc

Sometimes solder balling is related to oxidized paste or paste that has sat on the pcb too long before reflow. Mostly it is related to process, sorry... Too slow or too fast of a reflow ramp rate. Heating up an assembly too quickly will not allow the

Sounds to me like the driver for the tactile is not working. The tactile has three components to it. The first is the switch, the second is the pneumatic up/down actuator and the third is a small motor in the tactile assembly. The motor has a driv

We usually make a template offline to put with the assembly file. When it is time to run, place the pin support template in the machine, place your pins and your ready to go. Probably about a 15 sec setup. We looked into the ready-e-set pin suppor

Grant,You should take a look around at all of the alternatives out there. There are many fine solutions from every SMT assembly vendor. Fuji is not the only game in town. You should not purchase on name brand alone. If you are considering the CP-7, I

Hello Ricardof I believe speaking of your example, huge boards with many components on them, a very important aspect would be the sequence in which you place your components on the board... It happends that I have a software that optimizes assembly

It sounds like the parts are not soldering properly [have poor solderability]. This probably due to corroded nickel underplate caused by: * Nickel that oxidized, while awaiting overplating * Poor quality tin overplate, allowing nickel to oxidize aft

A very quick survey regarding PCB finishes for a lead-free process. What is the most popular PCB finish for lead-free soldering ? Who drives the selection of the finish, assembler or designer ? Are tin whiskers an issue for anyone ? I'm coming at th
