popcorning in wave soldering

Electronics Forum | Tue Sep 12 04:48:26 EDT 2000 | Daniel

Is there a risk of popcorning plastic components during wave soldering? (The PCB is first surface mounted, reflowed and washed. It is sometimes left in air environment for as long as 48 h before the throgh hole components are mounted and they are wa

Does anybody have any data on the thermal resistance and thermal time constant of 0805 and 1206, metal film, surface mount resistors when mounted on a typical PC board? Even approximate informatin would be useful. Thanks in anticipation. Larry Hurst

Need opinions on equipment for picking and placing truly odd types of components

Assembleon AX201 is one of the most accurate odd-form placer. It can place anything, including leaded transformers, press-fit connectors, and of course odd form SMT components. You can even use a gripper nozzle for components without a flat surface t

Who makes low cost vision equipment...... and sells it at low price?

I've been looking for a vision system which can check our fully mounted boards containing a mix of smt and thru hole. The concepts on all the machines are virtually the same, they got about 12-16 cameras, some pcb fixing and the rest is software.

Integration of manual odd form / low volume pick and place

Electronics Forum | Mon Aug 19 11:13:18 EDT 2002 | ksfacinelli

I would like to understand what different options people are using to place low volume / odd form parts. I am very familiar with the tweezers / vacuum pen method however this can be less than desirable. I am looking into a manual pick and place to

Need help on assessment of effect of temperature and humidity in battery consumption

Hi All, Would just like to course through this concern on a product that we are contracted to assemble. It is mainly used for an automatic hand sanitizer dispensing product. By design there is a restrictive value of current that it needs to dissipat

Question about LED SMD

Electronics Forum | Thu Jan 30 11:57:30 EST 2014 | spoiltforchoice

There are reverse mount LED's specifically for this purpose. If you want to use standard ones I guess the best option would be to get someone to repackage them for you. http://www.avagotech.com/pages/en/leds/surface_mount_chipleds/reverse_mount_seri

Hi, I don't know what you mean by really odd parts. Are they SMT parts that have a flat surface to pick them up? If so, probably several machines can do it. I know for sure Siemens can place almost anything. THey will help you with any type of nozzl
