Well for us 'limeys' its more difficult holding on to a job in the OEM/CEM marketplace. There are very limited opportunities for moving to other jobs here, we too like the US are losing a 'hoard' of jobs to China,India and other cheaper climates. Pr

Major Japanese OEMs investigated numerous lead-free alternatives, including alloys containing bismuth and/or zinc, such as Sn/Ag/Bi/Cu, Sn/8Zn/3Bi and Sn/58Bi. However, over time, the Japanese industry has moved toward Sn/Ag/Cu alloys. The Japan Elec

Sounds to me like they are thinking since they have a gold board that it must be processed lead free. This kind of thing is happening all over since OEMs are starting to think about pb free and sending their purchasing and engineering to these semin

When a hole is drilled during board fabrication, it can transfer resin from the base material (eg, FR4 core or prepreg) to cover the exposed edge of conductive material in the wall of a drilled hole. This is called resin smear. Etchback is a control

I was wondering if anyone else is finding cost and delivery time for Soltec parts not acceptable. I would love to get a substitution list going with everyone. I am after a replacement for filter 90006942. We need to replace 3 of these a month and Sol
