First, it depends on the alloy composition of the solder. As you might know, eutectic Sn/Pb solder has the lowest melting point among available conventional solder systems. (except those based on Sn-In and Sn-Bi systems.) For example, 63Sn/37Pb - 183

| | I am finding that some of our IC's are coming from the supplier with the humidity gauge in the bag reading 10-20%. Has anybody done any tests to determine what humidty level in a package will cause problems during reflow? | Usually a proper m

Cheap and beige = CEM1 Dave has good advice. Go to a fab that you use and ask them. My concern is that you are not getting enough documentation to do your job correctly. If your customer expects you to duplicate a sample they had better spec what th

Hi Dougie I'd still look at the feeder. Have you tried loading this part in another feeder? We also use tons of this part and, in the last 6 months or so, they have all come in embossed plastic tape with no problems like yours. These are by Kemet.

Low static Kapton dots are available from Shercon (www.shercon.com) and through many distributors like com-kyl. Purpose specific dots are available from Circuit Technology Center as TD-250 Tape Dots. (www.circuittechcenter.com). Consider also The Pr

Dave, George I think we're missing something here, or at least I am. While the plastic in question could possibly be dissipative or non generating, I'm wondering how thick such a stencil would be to clear even the lowest profile PTH component? Can w
