Hi, Our PCB designers are beginning to send up designs to manufacturing that have increasingly difficult footprints to work with. The footprints have been generated by the IPC-SM-782 calculator but just look wrong to me. The pitch of the devices in

1 CAN WAVE SOLDER AFFECT OR DAMAGE BGA? Sure. Since you are vague, assuming: * Partially assembled board was not stored to prevent moisture absorption. * BGA is in a plastic package. * Partially assembled board was stored long enough to exceed th

Hany, The guidelines for proper handling and storage of moisture sensitive components, like PBGAs are clearly documented in the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-033 (free download at http://www.jedec.org). In short you need to keep track of exposur

Yes!!! How can we assemble boards with 20 pitch when we allow 0.008� error to the master art? Excellent question!!! IPC-D-300G has nothing to do with assembler requirements. It is written by and for fabricators, so that they can be comfortable.

Sorry fellas -disagree. We only clean our stencils in the ultrasonic machine at the end of the run. If the same pcb is up the next day we clean them by hand. We use Electrolube SSS and the used rolls from the in line under stencil cleaner. Wipe the

Thanks for cutting me some slack on that metric thang, pardner. ;-) ANALYSIS: What??? The 5DX is useful for something!!! Shut ma mouth!!! [Don't you say a thing. I think I know what you're thinking.] FOAM FLUXERS: Your correct, not having a fo

I have some interesting problems on my hands that some of you may know the answers to. I am currently wave soldering a through hole connector to a rigidized flexible circuit. This is a compliant pin connector that is supposed to be pressed into a h

Yes, providing the surface of the via is solderable. * If so, how much paste? => Vias come in various sizes. Boards vary in thickness. So, the amount of paste to fill a via varies. Roughly, you�ll need twice as much paste as the volume of the via

As Mitchell stated before, the cleaning of the stencil is rather important. When considering stenciling of adhesive you must review your stencil cleaning process. The recomended process is a ultrasonic cleaner with a heater option. These systems are

Hi Guys, We are using two types of support Jigs for our PCB boards, during the paste printing, chip shooter, and IC mounting. The two types of support Jigs are : 1) "self-fabricated" aluminium support Blocks 2) "off shelf purchased" support Pins T
