Tom Clifford over at Lockheed put out a great Gold calculator. It works quite well in finding where you should be abd where you actually are with gold content. Is there any type of heat sink being applied to the device? Something that maybe gets scre

Depending on what kinds of machines you run and feeder style, self adhering leaders work well to minimize the need for a long leader. We use them on every reel. We can generally load most feeders with only waste of about 4 parts by use of leaders (

If the package is robust enough to handle surface mount followed by a pass through the wave soldering process, we have had excellent results populating the fine pitch parts with the P&P machine, reflow, then mask the solder joints prior to wave solde

What kind of connector is it? How does the manufacturer recommend processing their part? We've had quite a bit of experience using Tyco 'Mictor' connectors, with their inserter. We paste both sides of the board then drop the board on the inserter. A

Does anyone know of a source for better documentation for the laser align settings? I managed to get a 1206 ceramic capacitor to measure and was working on a 1206 resistor and couldn't get it to succeed. I retried the cap and it failed again and ag

Hi Larry, me again. Painting the tip should do diddly because you are using laser. Your cap is probably passing because it's thicker and is just inside the range of the system set-up. Check and calibrate your nozzle alignment height settings. Input t

Gotcha, I used to be in charge of a pneumatic gun that clipped and bent the leads. Hand held units that worked rather well. The operators where very good at aiming the clipped lead too! Anyway, you may want to visit Panasonic, they have/had a disp

could be black pad, or it is just bad reflow profile that did not get all balls soldered down. OR it could be a planarity issue between BGA and fab during assembly. Can we assume that this is proven design? Somewtimes in new design touching a BGA
