I would not recommend trying to cram or mix and match multiple images on a stencil. Especially if you are a contract house, and your clients don't understand why sending one board seperate from a panel of four is a pain in the face. However, I have h

Thanks for the suggestions. We have been going around the dome to pick from the base. The placement machines are Panasonic chipshooters - MV2VB and MV2C. I have several problems with the MV2C. The K-type feeder plates were moved by my predeces

They are expensive so you need to have a lot of jobs that take a long time to hand solder or have a ton of masking. Also look at bottom side wave soldering, if you are having a lot of defects, the selective will allow you to solder both sides in surf

Can you not just check the part when it is on line and being loaded into the machine? You should only need to check this once. Verify your setup to the bom and not your assembled boards to the BOM. Correct setup and program = correct boards. More

Rob, Are you hinting that the lead content of this component with dipped tin/lead solder would not be an issue with RoHS? If so, our understanding is that the legislation requires that the 6 banned substances cannot exist at greater than X% in any

Hannu, First and for all I have a problem with your question "tried and trusted" for the simple reason that you are going to change too lead-free. Ultrasonic soldering or welding is not new, as far as I know it is only used applying the ultrasonic

Not in this case, these BGAs were lead free and the profile used was for a lead part. I guess I will give you the whole story. These boards were sent to us from a customer to have the BGAs replaced for an unknown to us reason. We removed the parts

Hello, I am hoping that someone can shed some light on my somewhat strange question. The group that I recently started with have had a process in place where they do not run crystals through their wave solder process. From my previous work experien

The above suggestions look to be the most likely, however on the off chance: Going back a decade we saw damage to crystals & resonators due to induced harmonics from ultrasonics (usually in the wash). Some fluxer systems use ultrasonics (I think

Extra cooling is better (Alpha recommends -3 to -7 degC/sec) for cosmetics. Less chance of s o called 'cooling lines' that look similar to 'cold' tin-lead joints. (Seems a bit steep to me - I worry about the risk of cracking ceramic caps.) Might be
