Sounds like a selective soldering machine would be your ultimate answer. But if you must hand solder, an oven, preheater or anything to heat the core of your board would help as mentioned before. We've used hot plates with success. As far as irons g

It's always safer to use a higher voltage cap than a lower voltage cap. It isn't a fuse... There is only one case where we dropped the voltage on a cap. We were using a tantalum cap that was rated to 16V, but had been built in the standard packagi

I agree that a preheater would be a good thing to try. Before you buy one, try heating your boards up in an oven, then putting them on your machine. Any oven will do, just make sure you leave them in long enough to get a good thermal soak. Also, as

Most of the component vendors I've dealt with will guarantee the solderability of the terminations for three years if the components are still packaged in a full reel. If the reel is part used we've kept them for 1 year and then used a wetting balanc

One thing I have run into when placing cap's flush to the board is blow holes due to the plastic sheathing used around the cap. It would form a gasket going through wave and exhaust out of the holes therefore blowing the solder out with it. This cap

When i considered using one I bought a cheaper brand named aoyue which cost less then $140 U.S. just to see if it would work for what we were trying. It did work but our engineering dept wound up scrapping it and doing a redesign. I was going to get

We'have been working on an issue regarding aluminium capacitor placement in PCB. In fact, we have twisted (shifted) capacitors. Through root causes analysis, we confirmed that this phenomenon is happening during reflow process (no issue on placement

I wonder if there is a standard pull out force appliied to axial capacitor in manufacturing production line site

Hi All, We encounter capacitor crack in the ICT, it contributes 2% of the failure. We are not sure whether these crack coming from the SMT. All these crack having the same pattern. Please refer to attached file. Anybody encounter the same thing befo
