Obviously a totally clean floor is the best. So what if you have 1 particle of dust on your entire production floor? Is that 1 part per million (1 PPM)? or is that 1 part per billion? or 1 part per ???? How do you measure dust and come up with a

We use both the black conductive and blue static dissipative ESD totes in the production of Class 3 military electronic assemblies. In some cases we use ESD bags, but most board assemblies are placed directly in an ESD tote with a lid. The totes cont

Sr. Tech, you are right in that there is no verification of the profile. We are a Class 3 high mix OEM. We have visual inspection after SMT. We have not seen problems with wetting, grainy solder, cold solder, charred boards, etc. that would indicate

Consider using the following hierarchy of rules for pad design: 1. If you have a land pattern in a manufacturer�s data sheet, use it. 2. If the data sheet doesn't have a land pattern, but does have an RLP (registered land pattern) number or JEDEC n

My customer made a process change to overcome a design flaw. The PCB assembly mounts in a plastic housing. The PCB mounts to the front housing via plastic stand-offs. They had to change a connector on the back side of the assembly due to long term
