I'm in North Attleboro, small world. To answer your question, you can deposit small dots of paste with a syringe. Kind of tricky work, and there are small stencil soluions out there fairly inexpensively. See http://www.minimicrostencil.com/ (I do

Dave, May I ask where did you find the 1.5%, or the goal of .005" (or .007") per inch? The IPC-A-600 bow and twist standard calls for a .75% based on the calculation of the test method TM-650, method 2.4.22, which calculates the percentage based on

Hi Bill Mostly in the UK, but originally saw the problem when I helped on one install in Malta on a chinese mc set at 5 degrees and had nightmare bridging. changed the angle to 6.5 ish and results were instantly better actually better than what they

Flash gold usually refers to electrolytic gold with a short plating time. In other words gold plating that requires current to plate. If you have bare copper under your soldermask, the gold is probably ENIG. The only other way to have bare copper

I would suggest checking the feeder, MVF and MSR are both turret type and dont have the capability auto pik adjust in y. Y offset pick up would lead to : 1. Over turn component. 2. Missing component. Turret sequence is pick, recognize an

Hi all, Sorry for the late reply..I am sure it is flux residue..Found no such symptom as Grey mention above. This is non clean process and no way we can clean this whole big board(Server) with any kind of flux removal...Currently, the ICT probe pre

I would be glad to help you eliminate the solder balling and beading that you are seeing. As this is a fairly common defect, I would like to forward you an Application Note that we have developed that explains the cause and possible solutions. Most

Most likely there is movement during reflow. How about conduction oven over convection oven for reflow? This is a small PCB with the LED sitting on a Flex-Rigid extension from the PCB. I was thinking if the stencil aperature for the LED was to be cu

Hey fellas. Listen, I'm trying to see what the industry as a whole is doing with regard to placement and reflow of the tiny QFN devices. Not the larger ones, but the 4mm or 5mm ones. We struggled a bit with a QFN24, 5mm square. The thermal pad undern
