Some of our boards have over 700 LED's, so looking for the long leads is the most accurate way to check polarity. Also, not all LED's have a flat side and tinted domes can make it difficult to see the internal structure. Auto insertion didn't work, f

Instead of a Mnemonic, I used association to remember. The crazier the association, the easier it is to remember. And each person can come up with their own associations. Here's some of mine: Black - The room is black when there's no (0) lights o

I am a Siemens person myself but you won't get 23", you can get 20 though and I believe you could feed in a 23" board length wise. If your parts fit in a 20" area 80F4 is the way I would go. My second choice would be MYdata. They are the large board

Wolfgang: Sounds like gluteus maximus protection time. 1 "Maximum suitable temperature for the solder joint should be half the liquidous temperature" is a good rule of thumb. Where it came from, I don�t know. One place I�ve seen it repeated is: H

Horace , We had a similar problem last year on an Ultra 2000 . We cured it by draining the pot , removing the wave forming ducts , pumps and nozzles and cleaning . Refill with fresh solder ( one third solder chips , two thirds solder bars - to get t

Without a detailed description of the suspect parts It is difficult to pin-point the exact solution to your process problem. However, whenever possible avoid non-value added additions to your current process. Here is the reality of the situation:

David: I think it's great that you are getting that much barrel fill with STEEL leaded components!!! So, what kind of steel are the leads are made from? How much corrosion is on the leads? Frankly, I don't believe that the leads are made of steel

You appear to have two problems working against you at once. One is component lead corrosion that the no clean flux isn't aggressive enough to remove. Do a simple dip and look test. Flux the leads of a component and dip it into the molten solder for

Michael: Surface mounting technology is a broad topic. People make careers focusing on very narrow elements of the technology. I'm certain that writing an overview of SMT would not win you many points from your instructor, because that element of

Yims: There's several threads in the archives on re-useable stencil frames, but they seem to be focused on a limited nubmer of suppliers. I'm trying to take a big picture of the suppliers of these frames. So I'd like to know about: 1 ITT ProFrame
