LarryP, ESD smocks in combination with a wrist strap provide a path to ground for any charge potential. An operator wearing a smock while grounded will provide a path to ground for the chair. With an ESD chair you can have antistatic or static

Russ if your asking me if covering the surface of the granite defeats the purpose then I'm lost. An ionizer is a very good suggestion but they are not inexpensive. If the table is grounded and the metal bars are on a grounded mat, laminate etc. then

Hi everyone, I am looking for a reliable company (preferrably on the west coast) that can make Wave Solder and Press-Fit fixtures for our back-plane division. I need a reliable source that can take our data and produce quality fixtures in a 5-7 day

Below is an email that I copy and pasted from my customer's engineer about his concerns with the issue of the chips not reflowing (which is why I was asking about X-ray the chips to make sure they reflowed): Can you let me know your thoughts on his

Dissipative flooring is not really "conductive" so to speak. what it does is (supposedly)dissipate charge as it accumulates on the surface of mat. Does this mat have a ground lug on it? Responses are correct, unless you can get conductivity between

Thanks for the help but I do have another question. First I guess that just the touching of the smock to the skin is anough to give the charge on the person a path to the smock. OK I can accept that if button up at the breast and sleeves. Now I kno

Greetings everyone. We are currently doing some experimentation with solder paste printing over ground planes. In this application, the entire perimeter of the PCB is a ground plane. It's about 4mm wide and wraps around the whole PCB; There is no so

Yes, this board is approx. 3" x 17" x .062"T with large areas of ground planes. However, the delam. does not seem to be confined to the plane. We also see it around component pads and fiducials. Generally speaking, it could be said that the first

We see this from time to time. Usually, one of the leads of an electrolytic is attached to a ground plane, and the other to a trace. The ground plane acts as a big heat sink and reflows significantly later than the trace. If you have glue in your li

We've got this hard-to-Wave-solder board where all of the SMD's are on a ground plane - in fact the entire bottom-side is a ground plane. Our designers have incorporated thermal relief on some of the pads, but for reasons unknown to us, they don't h
