The problem about covering it with glue (without using solder) is that the components might dislodge by a miniscule amount underneath the glue. So maybe the contact points will disconnect. I'm not sure if this will be a real problem, but if so it wo

| I'm looking into vision inspection equipment to automatically inspect SMD placement and solder joint quality. Does anyone have any recommendations or know of any commonly used equipment? Do other manufacturers use vision systems at their inspecti

Thank you- my point exactly and it starts in SMT- operators pulling the wrong paste from the fridge, touch up using the wrong solder wire, etc. My solution- GET THE LEAD OUT!!!!! I'm a CM- high mix, low to medium volumes. No steady all day every day

Hey all, I've made a post in the past about us expanding to a new space, but I wanted to do a new post with specific questions. We currently have a DEK 265, Phillips Opal Xii, and a Heller 1500. Our main reason for expanding is to have a lead-free

We have done the Green Framed Stencils for an added $50.00 per, then got smart and went to green polyester on RoHS / Lead Free Stencils at no added cost. Dedicated Stencil blades and holders green of course) as well as Green Static mats on dedicated

Hi all! after hours of manual hand soldering and after spending thousands of euros subcontracting PCB assembly, we have decided to buy a fully automated pick&place machine. Our main assembly requirements are 0805/0603 for passives and TQFP-64

I have many PCBs that use an AVR in SMD packaging, and since I frequently change the firmware in prototype boards, I'm trying to come with the best solution to program the AVR quickly and easily. The first approach was to have a standard header (2x5

We have already one desktop oven and a manual stencil printer. And we have a quite complete soldering bench with several JBC tools. We also have stock for all active elements we use. We normally relay on the PCB assembler to provide the passive comp

1 - Too messy, parts already come in nice easy to use machine compatible packaging, tapes, reels, tubes and trays. All you are doing is adding an extra step and complication. A key production aim is to reduce the number of steps. 2 - BGA - a chip wi
