Awhile back, I remember seeing some postings regarding solderability of Alloy 42; unfortunately, at that time, it wasn't a concern of mine but it is now. There was a gentleman from TI who seemed to do some extensive research into the matter; do any o

Dear Steve, the problem for me is not that a manufacturer sends his engineers first to his customers who just bought nice new equipment from him and only then to someone needing help for machines they bought used. The problem is if the manufacturer t

Are you saying L x W x H didn't answer his question? Unless he wants to know how you're verifying that the post reflow fillet is adequate (which is determined by his pad size as well as your print process and the % metal of your paste), I don't get

Pure ignorance is my answer to that.... You're with a CM, right?? Your idiot customer probably has never stepped foot on a manufacturing floor in his entire gott-damn life, but.... he reads SMT Magazine every month, and probably read some article

Classic! That went into my favorite sites. Even funnier is when they misspell the buzzwords on their e-mails and Power Point presentations. Had a noob here that not only had misspelled director "Drector" in his e-mail title, but then copied it to
