XP needs at least 256Mb of RAM, preferably 512. I think 1Gb would be overkill, especially with a 133 memory speed. It sounds like a dual boot configuration...if you don't need W98 on the machine, why don't you just dump it and get a clean install of

"The only real problem we're seeing is some suppliers trying to use bismuth. That's a big no-no in a SnPb process and we won't accept those parts." Yes and no. Since the SnPbBi tertiary alloy melts at 96 degC, any product rated for storage above tha

We are experiencing a situation that we would really appreciate some expert opinions on. Our process prints solder paste then reflows it without components. Normally the paste wicks into a very shiny rounded meniscus. Even over gold, the round pads a

Yes, .062 fr4. Like I said before, we run a lot of gold boards, as many as 25% of what goes through the shop, and we've never adjusted anything before??? Many of these are bigger by 2 X and much more dense. Reflow is not as shiny as HASL but always u

Matt, have you run a profile on this board? Just because it's .062" doesn't mean that any old .062" profile will work. We have .062" thick boards that almost nil for copper and other are utilizing 2 oz. layers internally. They require quite diffe

What your asking has many variables. 1. Material: SS vs. Cast Iron. Iron is thicker. Which SS? 316, 316L 2. Pump speeds, turbulence, hours of operation directly affect equipment life. 3. Things like scraping the pots, the tunnels, impelle

Proy, Another issue is what exact formulation of SAC is used. Much of the SAC305 being used in Asia contains phosphorus, which is added in an attempt to reduce the heavy drossing that SAC305 produces. Phosphorus acts as a flux on steel so will increa

G'day Marina, Only YM/CSM seies feeders will fit these machines. Feeders were generally prefixed as Y8, Y12 = mechanical advance 8mm, 12mm. There may be some Y16 in existence but I doubt it. HA12, HA16 = air activated 12mm, 16mm. The HA12 could take

Hello Carl, The main reason there is little information on lead free soldering to ENIG is because most of the lead free soldering to date has been Japanese consumer products. To keep costs down, the major surface coating used has been OSP copper. It
