Here in the Great White North, the best way to check our CM's compliance with the ESD 20.20 is to take a couple months worth of data during heating season and graph it against the outside temp swings. You can easily see how the HVAC system keeps up,

Hi, I am process engineer of SMT production. We have some strange problemn with tantalum capacitors. 1 case: If tantalum capacitor placed near BGA and one of his legs is connected to one of the BGA balls, after reflow we can see short between two or

i would say that you are there already. with 10,000 DPM0 you have a 1% fallout, you are at 99.9 basically. 1 out of a 1000 boards will fail? of course one thing we need to know is how many opportunitites do you count for a chip resistor for exam

Thanks, Michael, this proves my point. There are already shows everywhere, so if you don't want to fly to LA and get "shot at", by all means, go to your local show. If enough people stop going to APEX (SoCal) then the other shows will gladly take u

Immersion Silver, ImAg, is becoming the finish of preference. This is due to it having similar process limits vs. SnPb HASL. There were some early concerns about shelf life, but new chemistries have extended finish shelf life to 12 months+. Many boar

Hello, we are facing some troubles with BGA opens in our production. PCB are both side popolated with BGA. BGA is array of 26*26, with some 6*6 center balls. PCB has 2 reflow processes, 4 pcs of BGA on each side. Now we are partly observing opens

We are seeing problems with platinum over silver plated part also. Our main problem is solder splatter under these devices, and voiding at the terminations on parts off the reels.I am curious if you have removed any of these parts and noticed any spl

vshan, We were using pallets (delmat with cavities for the flex) We put stips of double sided Kapton tape in the critical areas. The tape held up to the heat and kept the circuit flat for the QFP's and BGA's. We based our assembly process for this c

Philips is out of this business. They spun off the SMT business as Assembleon America. Their site is partially closed, and I don't know what hoops you have to jump through to become a member. The open part of their site gives no result when you se
