I have seen similar things happen with over etching and bridging but frankly the most common mistake that gives us grief is a failure to use the component manufacturer's recommended land pattern and/or aperture designs. As opposed to generating a n

Besides, regulated power supply should be installed separately on the printing boards. When power and circuits share the same printing boards, it should be avoided that regulated power supply and circuit components are mixed or power and circuits sha

My recollection of the 4c is fuzzy but I know that there's a ribbon cable on the head that gets some abuse when the head rotates. Seems like mine would eventually break at the crimps and I had to replace it a few times. Eventually I bought the parts

I'm intrigued at the relative costs of importing a MY9 from the US vs just buying an MY9/12/15 here in the UK where they are available pretty much all the time. We must be approaching the point where we see an influx of MY100 generation machines onto

Key benefits for us: Labour saving - machine part of SMT line (mainly one product type, 2 shifts), so boards effectively delivered ready for the next stage, with no human interaction. Uniformity of finish - where we had a critical dimension we run

Certain customers do give us CAD. USUALLY ODB++ but I've also gotten .ipc and .pcb . Many of our customers bought or inherited a design, and therefore have no control to generate additional files. Or, as you mentioned, they had another manufacture

I agree with the other posters. A bottle will last a day tops, A dewar should last a week or two. Dewars have a limited shelf life as the liquid nitrogen will vent even if your aren't using it. My experience is with ACE machines. Bottles are really

What do you call ESD safe bags? The pink poly bags are non charge generating but not static dissipative. The plastic can hold a localised charge and that can induce a charge separation in something you put on the plastic. So I think that means you ca

We currently use Aegis CircuitCam for our Production work instructions, and machine programs. I am looking for an alternative, as CC is no longer supported. We receive Gerbers (sometimes CAD files) and BOM from our customers. That is all that I can

We recently bought three used AX201 machines and a copy of Siemens Valor Process Preparation NPI software to program them. Does anyone have a copy of the K&S Optimizer software that connects with Valor to generate the NC program and run Virtual Stick
