If I am putting chip capacitors on a .063 FR4 board, what size package should we stay away from to avoid cracking? If I use 2 mil copper on the outside layers of a PCB, am I limited to what pitch of parts I can use? Specifically, will using 0603

Hello everyone, I am working on a very low cost, small and basic vending machine ($300) with wooden cabinet for small neighborhood stores. As you may know, it is necessary to properly protect the components to prevent users from trying to steal money

How large of chip capacitor can we use reliably? I��ve heard they tend to crack. I��ve also heard if you pre heat the larger chip caps (1812 and above) before vapor phase reflow, they won��t crack. If I use 2 mil copper for a power supply board, a

Hello Spoilt... Yes it's true about the kitting being important but we also offer a component tester/verifier option for our system. The components can be tested for each insertion if you wish. The machine will not allow a component to be inserted

hello; When we are doing component land pattern design , one thing will always be in our mind; that is the basic criteria or common land pattern design guideline for reflow and flow solder assemblies. For basic fomula in calculating resistors are:

Hi CW, Regarding orientation, yes, your diagram is right - see the following link for confirmation. http://search.murata.co.jp/Ceramy/image/img/A18X/C2EB3C.PDF Regarding information on bending strength you want to talk to your local Murata office

It will be tough to get a good line for that cost. You might want to start by looking at Mydata and Juki for the machines. Ekra for the screen printer and Heller for the oven is where you might want to start. If you have not already you might want

hi, I would like to know if SMD parts (soic, small qfp, large qfp and tsop parts) can be programmed before PCB assembly and, if true, which companies can do this. These parts are either embedded microcontrollers with flash memory, flash memory and

Assuming you want to run 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, you need a sustained throughput of 2.5k components per hour. With fine pitch, futzing around, setup, etc you should really look for machines rated in the 4k to 5k per hour range. That's not sc

They key requirement before any fancy tools is careful storage, stock control, labeling and handling. If your parts are incorrect before they even get to production, you're screwed. As gregp suggests, to get consistently correct value and orientation
