Jerry, In our house we generally run a glue bottom last but people do it both ways. Our logic revolves around protecting components from being knocked off the board during handling and processing prior to wave solder (this is most important with sm

Nick, I've run this flux for a while and it's not too bad. There is a tendancy for there to be residue left on the PCB after wave due to the solid's content but it can be minised by putting some effort into setting up your spray fluxer to an optimum

Bryan, 0402's tombstonning isn't that uncommon and usually the 1st reaction is alway's the pad size aint right. If you've followed the IPC guidline's normally you should be fine but I'd double check the component supplier's spec's as well. brian's p

| I need your help! We have been doing double sided surface mount for 4 years now. Up until 6 months ago I have not had a tombstoning problem. Since then I have a fairly high incidence rate of tombstones on the 0603 size resistors (no other parts).

| In a cost-reduction effort, our Design group is attempting to eliminate silk-screen (legend ink) on some new products. By the elimination of this process, there will be a slight decrease in the cost of the bare board. | | Presently, the silk scre
