iv40, Thanks. The PCB that we are populating the BGA hybrid onto does not have holes in the vias. I think the manufacturer indicated that on their hybrid it has holes in pads. This hybrid is a PCB assembly with BGAs and other components populated

Our employees use a knit style ESD glove when masking boards to prevent oils. They snag alot and bend leads and cause other problems. I have tried dipped palm but they are bulky and dont offer "feel". I tried a silky type but they had a huge seam

Dang, you're picky. Try buying your operators mittens, and then tell them that your company has discovered that mittens generate less ESD so they're making them mandatory now. Then...after a few hours, bring them their gloves back and tell them that

I am experiencing sporatic de-wettting issues, so I have been thinking about ways to clean fully assembled circuit boards that have open switches, contacts, etc. I also suspect that that plastic bodied components have residual silicone mold release

In general, cleaning with deionized water is acceptable for most component. Open switches and contacts, in general, do not get damaged in this process. A good drying is required, of course, after washing. However, you've described dewetting issues

I don't have experience with 1B73. I do have a ton of experience with CE-1155. There are a couple of gotchas with this material. First and foremost is that it HATES silicone residue. If the material is not sticking to parts and they aren't cerami

Hello, I have no experience with CE-1155 but a ton with 1B73. I would say Justin hit it right on the head. 1B73 does not like to be anywhere near silicone residues. We make sure the boards are handled with gloves after wash, before coat. Unfortunat

Vacuum Soldering is mostly available with Vapor Phase Soldering systems as a option. Asscon / IBL / Rehm Thermal all offer this... Rehms system is unique as they offer in place solder and vacuum vs the other two vendors that move a PCB with Molten

You should do some testing what temp you really get. Solder will melt 260~300ºC. Back to the initial question, CEM-3 is a bit harder to buy and has not many varieties. Go for FR4, you can go for a higher Tg then the common 130ºC. There is also 140,

I have the part you need. The Yamaha Part number is K39-M7173-000. The same part is used on Philips machines using a different part number. This assembly is expensive because the motor is attached to a Harmonic Gearbox and encoder. I have a new unit
