Hi mates, we only do a double side tape sample for 1st pcs output, buyoff the location vs P/N, and orientation. we can recycle use of "A-items" eg. IC... once all this is affirmed, we mass run the rest of the Lot size, via full SMT line configuratio

Hello Dave, As related to connector mating interface, fretting corrosion is the oxidation of the contact points, causing high resistance across the interface. Fretting corrosion is caused my micromotions in the interface exposing the metalized conta

DaveF, Yeah you got that right...because the initial stages of the project, the products would only attach 1 passive (capacitor) hell when things got too cheesy they wanted to attach 20 caps or so....this is not like board assembly, this only 1 Flip

it has a lousy gage. * Solderability testing machines from different suppliers produce dissimilar results. * Tests don�t well represent in-use. For instance, how does one test the solderability of a BGA? [Ooo, ooo. I know the answer. => For BGA and

The current IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-033 for moisture-sensitive devices does not include a bake cycle at 90C (it includes cycles at 40C and 125C for non-assembled components in reels or trays). However, the upcoming revision, which should be release

We currently use the SuperMole and generally speaking it's a nice tool and gives us the information we need. The software could use some work, though. When you create a file for a new profile, you have to input a "time above" temperature for your

You have a very bad situation. It�s tough for the gas, flux material, er whatever to escape when the BGA is sitting on top of it and the blind via is blocking it from the other side. Obviously the vias should have been: * Placed on the edge of the

Ooooow! �Can it be fixed?� Good question. How BAD did you damage it? * Since you are asking this question, I am NOT inspired by the potential that you have the skills to fix the board. Go Jeff Ferry�s site at Circuit Repair Center [If you can�t f

Not as such. Generally, people tailor their profiles to produce glam solder connections on their boards. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for discussion on the factors affecting solder reflow recipes. What is the best way to get these PCB made to s

This looks like it may be a good application for an Air-Vac or Wenesco type solder station. It is a solder pot that has a small motor to pump solder up through a chimney. You can put different nozzles on the top of the chimney, so you only apply sold
