Guys, I am not really looking for an automatic system. I am looking for as automated a system as I can get for $30K or less. I would really prefer something under $10K. I just need a way to sample devices to see if the vendor is meeting my coplana

dave, you are right on. a blow torch isn't needed to light a fire. a small coplanar aluminum block works extremely well. my dept fixes thousands of fine pitch parts to to less than 4 mils from low lead to high lead every month. all we use is a sm

Hi nards I'm not quite sure what your question is. If you mean is paste volume more important than the reflow profile the answer is no. Belt speed is just a part of creating a reflow profile and all aspects I.E. pasting, placing and reflow are jus

Mario, If you are looking for a cheap press to do press fit connectors, then you are asking for trouble. Now, and in the long run. ASG out of West Palm Beach makes a very good press. We bought a 5 ton version and are able to press up to about 2500

Yims: There's several threads in the archives on re-useable stencil frames, but they seem to be focused on a limited nubmer of suppliers. I'm trying to take a big picture of the suppliers of these frames. So I'd like to know about: 1 ITT ProFrame

It's IIT, not ITT. DEK in the UK also uses a tensioning frame, but I don't know of any suppliers in the US. As a stencil vendor without a quick mount/re-usable frame to sell, I can say that I have not heard many complaints regarding print quality o

We are a contract manufacturer currently building a job with IBM CBGA-255 devices and 20mil QFP's that are close to each other. We use a 6 mil laser cut and electro polished stencil with one to one apertures on the BGA's. The customer is experiencing

Ron, if I am reading this correctly the 20mil parts are not having problems on a 6mil stencil. If you increase the entire thickness of the stencil to 8mils, there should not be any issues with the 20mil components. The supports you are using could p

I agree with John, but Manko has also published 'Soldering Handbook for Printed Circuits and Surface Mounting' (van Nostrand Reinhold, a little more practical and less strong on the theory of his classic one, which is beginning to date (1st published

I knew this would happen. Someone wants to rework a bad BGA artwork by cutting a trace and adding a wire under a 292p 1.27mm pitch PBGA. Has anyone done this before? What kind AND size wire do you use? How do you hold it in place during the replc
