I don't think it is a good idea to run your own board in house. The cost will be higher than let the contract out company do it for you. If you are looking for a Smt line.. You must spend atleast $400.000 for an use equipment. Printer= $100.000 Pick

Ron, The simplest way to process fexible PCB's that I have found is to use a process carrier fixture. There are companies that manufacture process carriers that are capable of holding flex through stencil, placement and reflow. The carriers are capab

John, I have never seen black pad covering a majority of the board, that would be a scarry thought. I think he is talking about building modules (sims dims) and getting soldering spatering on the gold edge connectors. We went the rounds with that s

I recently encountered reflow soldering defects on a pair diode package, the smd pad had a green contamination, I'm convinced that this is not oxidation. The no-solder condition appears to be caused by a sloppy soldermask process, although over the y

Hello Russ, I believe that the dullness in color of the solder joint is related to the gold finish on the pads. I have had done alot of thru hole soldering of gold pins as well as SMT on gold finish and have seen the condition that you are talking a

Hi Cunli I guess it's too much to hope for that you're back but it's nice that you're still paying attention . I've used the printer friendly version before and it worked fine. However it does't always work. I'm holding Dave F's posting (help with

Hi, I am looking for land patterns for 0612 and 0508 chip capacitors. Because they are not standard (yet) package sizes, i am having trouble finding a standard land pattern. (If you don't know what these are, picture a 1206 or an 0805 with the te

Are these blades coated with something like PTFE (teflon)? If so does the coating flake off over time. Incidently I just got a pice quote and they are 4.5X that of our standard MPM nickel plated spring steel, so I wanted to make sure they would last

I am interested in discussing AOI. I am looking at introducing a system to a new SMT line. I am very interested in hearing from someone with MVP, MVT, Kestra, and CRTechnologies. The combo of x-ray and 2D inspecion that CRTechnologies offers is very

Hi Jeff Actually it's not necessarily Signal to Noise Ratio or even RF circuitry. All no cleans leave behind residue by description. This residue can affect RF or other high frequency circuits in a number of different ways including SNR. Very high
