Thanks Rob, thanks much. Bill, take it easy. You have a well controlled image (considering the brain-washing machine of the American media) of Syria that is fairly wrong. I lived in the US for six continous years and I really know what I am talking a

I assuming that you already have checked the fuses? Also, check all the power: +5V, +12V, +-24V, etc. We had to change our PSU once, after a major power-drop due to a thunderstorm. But you should be ok if you can pinpoint what type of voltage you are

ok, sorry ,750 was deg F and which I said 350~400 were deg C, I got a mistake. As I know, we use 660~720 deg F to do reworking for lead free solders such as SAC series and SnCu0.7 series solder to protect irons and components on boards. when temp.

Hi all, What are the pro's and cons of pasting ahead? The definition of pasting ahead for this question is the act of pasting 10 or 15 pc boards and then running then repeat. I do not like this philosophy. I'd prefer to paste, run, reflow then

I am wondering how to move from hand soldering our ceramic caps to doing a reflow type process. The reason for the change is too many cracked ceramic caps. I have asked our vendors to assemble our boards via reflow but because of our hardware (swaged

To make it even more compicated, you have CTE before Tg and after Tg, altough the after Tg is way more important, because the expantion ratio will be much bigger, a pcb supplier will usually give the before Tg value. To come back to the delamination

Grant, but that doesn't change the fact that you have to run the board again a half-hour-later...hahaha. Also, the Chinese are FAR from being innovators...rather, they're out-of-control "immitators" of products, breaking patent laws and reverse engi
