Yes it happens with any inline cleaner with small or light boards the pressure can cause them to flip. If they lodge in the links they can also cause damage to the conveyor. For small boards, flexibles etc you do need a mesh fixture of some sort or l

Solder skips on SOT23 parts is the most common issue when soldering surface mount designs. The two most common causes are the wave height too low or there is too much gassing of the flux as it contacts and seperates the wave. Stck some parts on your

Yea you gotta love those airknives. It may not work in this application if the shorts are present at the trailing edge. I have several boards that are using conns with pins at .050" centers and they short. The protrusion is .030" to .040". The shorte

We rate each board for producibility. [Our rating chart may be based on some things that Bob Willis did. Check his site [http://www.bobwillis.co.uk/ ] for all kinds of neat stuff. Maybe even bring him in to help you sort through things.] There

Also check out Bob Willis with EPS in the UK (www.bobwillis.co.uk). I attended his seminar at Nepcon West this year and gained further enlightenment on the subject. We are using it a lot across a broad range of customers, but you need to understand t

Like most things in electronic assembly, this is not astrophysics. People have pasted boards, placed components, turned the board up-side down, run the board through a reflow oven, and generalized about which components: * Fall off the board. * Don

The basic guidline is lead size plus 0.010" which you can also use for through hole reflow/intrusive reflow. Most suppliers of the insertion equipment quote this as the minimum clearance hence its a good guide. Druing recent trials for through hole

ran an internet search on "intrusive reflow", out popped various links on the subject. Bob Willis was rather prominent on the topic's links. anyway seems intrusive reflow soldering specs are the same as conventional manual insertion (radial, axial)

Use the pad mating to lead wetting area. Check: * Phil Zarrow's site [ http://www.itmconsulting.org ] for a paper. * Bob Willis may have something on his site [ http://www.bobwillis.co.uk ]. He has been very involved in developing this measure. * F
