Wow, this has been real interesting reading. Kind of like a Jerry Springer Forum. "Today on SMTA Forum, cranky engineers and over zealous sales people square off to decide if the replies to the thread are appropriate" When some one asks a questions

First, I don't have a clear fix on the problem. Please drill-down to more detail. We appreciate that you probably don't know the parlance. Just describe what you have and then what you'd like to have. Second, most 0402 LED are fabricated just lik

Cannot comment on "best buy". You'll have to determine what the better machine is for your application and duration of planned use. I suggest taking a field trip to each vendor's nearest demo facility with a few of your most hi-tech boards and stenci

First, I should state that my company manufacturers batch and inline de-fluxing systems. Because we manufacture both formats, we remain unbiased. In fact, it is in our best interest to recommend inline cleaners since they sell for considerably more

Now I've checked the archives on this and found the starts of an answer but not much else, but then that posting was a while ago and I though there would be some more data now. So here's the question: who, if anyone is placeign Pb-free BGA's (ideally
