Help! We currently use out SMT for pretty much one-off's. we use BGA's and complex board designs and it looks good to say it's been SMT'd. We are now looking to take on a project (a one off project) that would move our production up from 1 to about 2

Prozone was sold primarily in Europe by Multicore (now Loctite). A brief search of their site seems to indicate that the product no longer exists. As for Prozone, as I recall, it was a ready-mix (no dilution required) chemical. If the containers w

It sounds to me like Electrovert is a thing of the past. They were bought by a financial clearing house company and were sold because they have been losing money consistently. The new Speedline owners have moved all of their operations to the East

I'm using a CIM software (http://www.aiscorp.com/products_npi_circuitcam.htm) to import gerber files and produce pick&place programs and paper/paperless documentation. It's very friendly, useful and fast, but not cheap. I don't know any other softwa

Once you have selected your plating based on electrical and physical requirments, you should know that there is an inexpensive plastic storage packaging developed by Lucent which can keep any platings solderability from degrading for up to 10 years o

Depending on quantities etc, you probably have a few options. If it's the automated route you require then any of the radial insertion machines from UIC or TDK will do the job. We've inserted LED's in the past with machines over 10 years old, so if

Folks, has anyone heard fo any problems with RF cards related to solder paste selection. Currently runnign with std SnPb paste but want to move to 2% silver paste. Was asked if this could cause any issues in term's of RF capability or interferance t

2% should have no effect [recognizing that some RF deign implementations are squirrellyand they don't count]. We still use 2% dating back to the old days when the gray beards [at that time] felt that the silver improved skin effect [a tendency for a

I see where I went wrong. The numbers provided by "Process Engineer" are correct. My company is trying to adhere to the Six Sigma code of business and the managament here falsely assumed that all of our equipment can do that as well. After doubl

So, you need to know how these reductions in solder volume will perform in real life. In-use of the product in the life environment is the surest test. Many companies can�t wait / don�t want to pay for that information. * Some use accelerated life
