New facility flooring choices TILE, EPOXY, rubber tile, sheet, carpet

Electronics Forum | Tue Apr 29 16:26:59 EDT 2014 | hegemon

Our facility is 5 years in the current configuration. We are in 75K sq/ft and went with glued down fully conductive tile throughout the factory. Looks great after 5 years, and we have a lot of traffic. In this setup, those same high traffic area

TL431 shunt regulator

Electronics Forum | Mon May 05 13:48:42 EDT 2014 | rway

Chances are you are using this as a 2.5V voltage reference for the feedback on your regulator. One thing that isn't clear is exactly what failure you are seeing. Please specify the nature of the failure. Is your power bus out of spec? I really ca

Electrolytic capacitor

Electronics Forum | Mon May 05 13:40:28 EDT 2014 | rway

The vent is there for reasons as the name implies. It's a safety feature to prevent the cap from exploding if over-tasked. Yes, without the relief on the end, the caps have a potential to become missiles when they go. I had one go off when my hand

Quad QSV-1 randomly destroying Z-rods

Electronics Forum | Sun May 11 17:29:17 EDT 2014 | bobpan

Most times when the machine oscillates when closing the doors it will be a problem with the digital i/o cards. I would check that the dip switch settings are correct. If they are correct i would look at replacing both of the cards. The boards are sub

Solder climbs on the lead and touches the body of the component

Electronics Forum | Mon May 12 13:55:19 EDT 2014 | hegemon

It sounds like a bit too much solder on the PWB, caused by too large a pad for the lead it will contain. In that case solder reduction is the way to move forward. What are the options there? 1. New stencil or stencils - (not desirable) 2. Increas

Solder climbs on the lead and touches the body of the component

Electronics Forum | Mon May 12 15:13:29 EDT 2014 | emeto

Thank you guys. As we are speaking I keep examine the problem and here is what I got so far. 1. I measured the temperatures on my profile and the lead is hotter than the board. The lead goes 12 seconds earlier than the pad and is taking the solder.

Etch strain gauge in copper layer to measure deformations during press process [How to?]

Electronics Forum | Sat May 17 10:38:49 EDT 2014 | sarason

I hate to say this but in all probability this wont work. I have built real strain gages and they depend on the change(Co-effiecent) of resistence with strain(or Stretch). since you are connecting you elements up with copper wire it will frm part of

Etch strain gauge in copper layer to measure deformations during press process [How to?]

Electronics Forum | Mon May 26 04:39:49 EDT 2014 | sarason

Damn near impossible. You need to see a real change in the difference between the 2 elements you are reading. So to give yourself any hope run 2 long traces one top one bottom up the length of the board. Then compare to 2 wriggly traces at one end (o

JUKI KE2060L - implementing new 44mm feeder

Electronics Forum | Fri May 16 07:04:26 EDT 2014 | maciejbilu

Hello, We had just bought new 44mm one for wide ZIF connectors etc. The problem is that JUKI don't even thin about picking something from it. 44mm option is available in component packaging style window. Tray feeder is choose for "44mm emboss 12mm (

browny, brassy, dark, HAL Pb-free pads

Electronics Forum | Tue May 20 18:38:23 EDT 2014 | hegemon

From the picture I would say the problem lies with the PWB manufacturer. It looks as though some part of the plating process was not optimal during the PWB production run, and you have the resulting discoloration following the reflow process. What
