We have used thousands of them with no problems. They will not aid in "connector retention" unless you have a shear force at exactly the right angle. This is an advertising joke. They will help with alignment of the connector. Open your holes up so t

We are attempting to increase utilization of our Pick and Place equipment (MY9) by transfering more components into the SMT area. Large gains could be had if we can successfully place a metal socket with a lipped pickup surface into a circuit board h

The basic guidline is lead size plus 0.010" which you can also use for through hole reflow/intrusive reflow. Most suppliers of the insertion equipment quote this as the minimum clearance hence its a good guide. Druing recent trials for through hole

The connectors are well within thier specification,and are also checked for misaligned and damaged pins , as regards the cross-section results, all holes are correctly aligned and are well spaced within their tolerance of +/-0.005 (a couple of isolat

Sal: If it�s not the PCB, what about the connector itself ? Is it from a different production lot with some unregularities ( dimensions, tolerances, pin alignment, material weakness)? How about handling, storage, shipping causes ? Could it be a tooli

Right!!!! We have built product with via holes only 0.010" off the edge of the routed edge or even routed them in half, which usually adds cost and shorts to the chassis. Most high speed routing has a tolerance of +- 0.005". It's common for UL fi

If your pad designs don't meet IPC recommendations, using home plate may have adversely affected the (possibly marginal) placement tolerances. This could also be caused by an incorrect home plate design, which IPC has also given recommendations for,

Board House, One last question. Could the above changes make the board more ridid? My concern is we insert Pem nuts via a press. Nothing has changed in this process except the board house. Now when ever we insert these Pem nuts the board cracks.
