We currently have an assembly that we have to mask the surface of several (24)SMT components where thermal compound is applied at a latter operation. These component packages vary from BGA's to QFP's. After the thermal compound is applied the PWA is

Look at page 8 paragraph 22 This exempt was approved by the TAC June 22, 2006 http://www.emsnow.com/cnt/files/white%20papers/Status_of_EU_RoHS_Exemptions.pdf The exempt was granted by request from both Swatch and Sony for tin whisker formation on

Steve, You read it the same way I read it. Some of my coworkers thought that the 600 micron and under spec meant that you could use lead solder and be exempt at this component pitch. That is why I posted it on SMTNET. The exemption specifically s

Patrick, firstly, I don't disagree with you on the efficacy of or lack of good science behind RoHS. It's a bad joke and our industry is the victim that got punked. I simply don't see anywhere in that document that states they've got an exemption tha

I read the request months ago with great interest. However, a request is hardly an exemption. Here's my issue with the language: "23. Lead in finishes of fine pitch components other than connectors with a pitch of 0.65 mm or less with NiFe lead fra

Instead of using adhesives to glue the back side SMD components and wave soldering them together with the through hole components, our manufacturing engineers choose to process the back side components through reflow oven without adhesives and proces

Hi T, Gluing parts to the back side for wave solder is a widely used process. Running waves pallets is probably the last way I would want to run a wave. There are just so many things that have to be done to assure good quality first time pass, tha

Glue application is widely used in my country.However, some companies want to save cost and remove the glue application. We are also using fixture to cover some components. It has no problem. Please try cleaning your fixture by alcohol or water.Brush
