Questions are: * Does the component take solder when you dip it in the solder pot to test the solderability of the leads? * Can you get full barrel fill when wave soldering a bare board? * Is your flux reaching the top of the board through the hole b

Blew chunks - thanx for thinking outside the box. Of course there's two sides to every story. Just last week I had a new operator "splash" a couple of boards. Top solder was great, it was all one big solder bridge. Come to find out, the operator forg

We run our process like that all the time paste then glue we use same profile as if we were just reflowing paste once in a while we have A plastic bodied part that has that problem we asume it was some mold relase still on the part basicly comtamena

Im sure this has been gone over before, but what the heck! We are mounting LEDs on metal core PCBs. Almost all of them have domes of silicone on top. We have some large boards (largest is 2ft x 3") Not concerned with parts/hour or fancy features.

Is there a need for a simple application to merge a bill of material with the xy placement data into a single (or top/bottom) files for machine programming? ie. add a part number column to the xy data, including "N/A" for parts not found in the BoM?

Brian, We have the Mirtec Table Top. It is very good at detecting the component and orientation. It is however only as good as we program it to be. We have seen some limitations in respect to solder connections. I have not found it to be 100% re

These ovens maintain good profiling as long as you stay on top of maintenance. I had 4 150's and 1 125. The biggest headache is keep the plenums cleaned (very messy). Also the blower motors have been replaced a few times on them as well. If I were yo

I forgot to add that we are using a 3 mil stencil. It seems like to me that may be there isn't enough flux left when we reach liquidous?? About half of the solder spheres do melt and wet on each pad, but the top half of each solder joint is just the

I recently had the same problems, solder bridges on every thing I made, different customers boards, etc. I wave with no-clean flux. As I sorted out problems (pin holes, blow holes, splatter, etc.) I found a lot of variable factors. I changed flux,

Hi, I've just splashed out �60 on IPC-A-600F trying to find out the formula for measuring the bow and twist of raw PCB's. Much to my dismay there are 10 lines on the subject in the whole standard. Worse still is that it tells me nothing I don't alre
