Don't be concerned. Brian and Neil don't allow us to link directly to email from SMTnet [even though from the way the link changes color you'd think you could. They do this to subjugate the huddling masses and lord the power of cold fusion over us.

Dear Sir, I do not want to mix in this "subjective" discussion but as an employee of Assembl�on (buider of FCM II, FCM multiflex 50, 75, 100) I can provide you with MTTR, MTBF, placement data (0201), software, and other (also customer) data on our e

If you know about 'BIG DADDY', you know what I know. A nearby thread [ http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=2&Thread_ID=1678&mc=2&forum_idx=40 ] addressed your question more directly, but certainly didn't drill-down t

While loosing traction, lead-free is a fait accompli. The 'greens' rule Euroland and the rest are sheep, too fat and content to realize what's happening. While not addressing your question on strength directly, National Electronics Manufacturing In

It sure would be nice to have some sort of group out there to exchange ideas. I have designed quite a few options that I use for quick change overs on my 5 Amistar Big Body lines. They work quite well and I am willing to share any ideas. My compan

Hey Peterson, Just as another resource, I've seen Circuits Assembly Magazine post equipment surveys in their website. I believe there should be a link on their site at http://www.circuitsassembly.com The survey index I noticed was at http://www.ci

I know that the accepted (by some, although some say it may be too conservative) rule is anything less than or equal to 30 grams/square inch of surface contact area should stay on the bottom side during the second pass. How is that surface area meas

You're correct that the FR4 is probably the best choise. The majority of the problems in developing your reflow recipe is going to come from the CTE mismatches in the CCBGA , CBGA and PBGA that you put on the board. The other side says given the pr
