Larry... I believe CCD offsets are not active on the IP3. Light levels and offsets are only availble in proper. Use Front Light. Use a P-pattern with bright lead, dark back background (I think #3)... The trick is to sample the lead width at the br

I'm working on a project that requires that I analyze a signal from the parallel port of my computer and use it to turn on relays. There are about 19 relays to control, and I designed all the gates to get each one on, but there is a problem with keep

Rich: You should raise the issue until someone BIG smacks you!!! We were getting deliveries from our distributors and virtually every part number had an opened dry pack. We kept SCAR'n the dudes until they came in and sat down. It took a while ..

Dave: The main part of your machine that VOC-Free fluxes attack is your spray fluxer itself. If you haven't already, you'll need to purchase a spray fluxer that's designed to accomodate water-based VOC-Free fluxes (i.e. made of stainless steel with

Wister: Oooo, I understand now what you mean by "an open." Sorry, I was (am) a bit dense. Your hypothesis is reasonable. On the other hand, have you looked at the traditional causes of tomb stoning also? For a defect to be a "tomb stone," it doe

We just bought a new Heller 1800 EXL reflow oven for reflowing SMT boards. We us a low temp RMA solder paste with 2% silver. Everything we build is to IPC Class 3 specifications. We have approximately 600 different types of circuit boards we build

Let me be more specific about my dilema. We have used a vapor phase reflow process for many years. We just bought a Heller 1800 this year (2000). We may very well be able to run all 600 very different board types we build in 10 recipies on the Hel

Let me see if I've got this straight...rather than hook up a MOLE or a KIC profiler to each and every board (600 P/N's in my case), most people are making judgement calls based solely on how similar a board looks to another board, for which they have

Why worry about the temperature if the top of the chip is 20 degrees C above eutectic - 183 C(at the balls)...if a machine works at convection oven temperatures, with high power, then there's no need to worry...Also, a CSP is a very forgiving chip.

Hi All: Can you tell me specifically if you converted an exiting product made with Clean process using WS609 or compatible to 'No-Clean' process. We have to convert assemblies from current clean process at a CEM to No-Clean process in our own factor
