A typical machine will have around 100 feeder slots. Manufacturers use the slots differently though, use 8mm feeder counts as your basis. Siemens, for example has 40 slots but you can get 2 (or 3) 8mm's per slot giving you 80+ 8mm feeders, while a Sa

I was afraid so. Hand soldering wires in general is not difficult, but with your constraint of the space restriction it does make fairly hard to do. I am assuming you have a 2 sided board and stranded copper wire. So once solder starts to flow, th

I've got a proto build (3 boards) that has a Xilinx FG456 fine-pitch BGA on it. Every BGA pad on the PCB has an unmasked via attached. Between the via and the pad is a thin soldermask strip, maybe .005" wide at best. I am very confident it will br
