To my point of view, you should be aware of some issues. Manual taping machines with a foot switch for tape advancement require quite a few adjustments before you start the job, like: Tape width adjustment, component rail adjustment, pitch setting,

Hi Pete, thank you for your positive feed-back. I was told by a carrier tape vendor, that the tape can�t be re-used for heat sealing. I made some tests myself and found, that if you are going to use exactly the same seam, the cover tape came off quit

Print no paste on the tin-plated, [test???] pad. Experiment by putting Kapton tape over the stencil aperture for the tin platted pad. Re-assess your reflow profile, since the liquidus of the two plating materials will be different. Evaluate your pa

I have put them thru the reflow just the switches and theres no problem even then I put them back on tape and reel and again to the reflow and test them again and they all pass

I am sick of Kapton. We have varying levels of leftover residues on multiple brands and I'm done chasing this thing. We have tested some wave tapes that were total garbage in years past. Really don't want to go there. Peelable liquid masks - Who

Hi Dexter, Your problem may not be with the feeder itself but with the quality of the tape you are receiving. OX3 Corporation performs a peel test on every single line item that is processed through its facility. You may want to check with your cu

You could have a supplier problem. We had a similiar problem with one of our capacitor suppliers. I would suggest doing a solderability test on the component right out of the tape.

DeanM - thank you for your response. I will work on uploading a picture of the bridges. We are focusing our efforts on nine boards that use the TO-220 package. I will also pass along your idea of Oval Pads to our Manufacturing and Design Engineers

Have you run some simple placement test yet? Use double-sided tape on the solder sample, run different size of components to see if all or certain size part are placed off; best with different rotation angle too. Chances are nozzle(s) or even shaft

Praveen, Once you find out the MS level of your components, you will need to track the exposure time from when the parts are initially removed from their dry bags, through test, programming, taping, and during subsequent dry storage and use of thes
