This is a snip from an ealier post here on SMTnet. Generally, solder pastes are comprised of: 90% solder powder, 5% flux, 4% solvents, and 1% activators [by weight]. Where: * Solder powder, when reflowed, is a metal bonding agent that mechanically

Hi davef, thanks again for that enlightenment. I'm just curious about what's happening with the solder joint of the said process. Again to add to my unending queries for now: So on top of that copper is a thin layer of lead-free solder composition

OK Sergey, looks like no one wants to take this on. I will give it a shot and maybe others will add their 2 cents. The answer depends on what you want to inspect. X-ray inspection is based on the X-ray absorption properties of the materials in th

Hello, Mydata p&p machines are built for high mixed and low/mid volume production, so if you talk about very low volume - no doubt, mydata is what you can use. You can consider 2 models for your application - MY100SX or MY100LX, depending on the min

We experiences some failures on PCB assemblies from the field when a methacrylate epoxy adhesive was used to secure some through-hole components to pcb board as reinforcement against vibration. During application, the epoxy covered some smaller SMT c

As the article eludes to, you still need probe access to measure the pins with TestJet. One thing I wanted to add was the use of JTAG for use with Boundary Scan. Certain devices have JTAG capability, but not all JTAG devices are Boundary Scan compa

I bought an “as is’ Quad IIC package a while back. The machine definitely has issues with the Quadalign Board. The ICs were literally falling off of the board. I am guessing when it was manufactured they did not get the PC board quite hot enough or s

We'd like to help you, but we don't have a clue of what you're talking about. * Which 'heatseal' machine are you using? Is that a reflow soldering machine? See, we think of a heatsealing machine as one that bond the two sides of a plastic bag togethe

Your kinda vague on your description, How many components per hour, how many circuits per a day, week, month? what kinds and size of parts.? For a PNP setup for smt boards you will need a stencil printer(possibly manual or full auto like a DEK, 1 o

We've been having issues with our current process of oven profiles. We use a high temp adhesive to bond the thermal couples to the desired components. The issue of them letting go or releasing during reflow temps are hit or miss. Majority of our buis
