Hi All, I see more and more components like QFN or LGA with bottom-only terminations,with landpatterns getting finer all the time. I have no ppm-figures of our process, but based on a benchmark study by Agilent I'd say that 500 ppm is a decent value

Is there anything stopping you from replacing the flat belt solution to a continuous running steel roller chain conveyor? - From there (depending upon board temperature) you should be able to buffer your boards in a vertical buffer station if neede

We are using OSP coated boards and no-clean solder paste. In a few instances, we are seeing increased distortion in an audio circuit. Has anybody seen or heard of surface insulation resistance (SIR) decreasing after reflow on OSP boards? Is it possib

We would be very wary of allowing 50 uinches, because this will likely result in reduced shelf life due to intermetallic growth. As a guesstimate, at least 10 uinches of that 50 uinches, and maybe more, is already intermetallic when you receive the b

Around 1989 I had this probelmm with a SMT CCA that would not solder in one area consistently. I had it cross sectioned by the bare board supplier and found that under their metallurgical microscope the thickness of this HASL bare board could not be

yes SPC can be used on a wave solder machine, you should use a c-chart to monitor the amount of defects per board or group of boards, this will let you know if your process is stable, as you improve your process you should re-calculate your UCL, hope

We have a new product in where a 0.7mm pitch uBGA is to be placed on a 2 layer flexi board. Also a 20thou pitch connector. Has anyone done anything like this before, what should i look out for. Not done much flexi work before so any tips will be g

We are doing a field study to test the placement accuracy and calculate cpk of some machines in our plant. From previous readings, it is suggested that you buy glass board kits from Accuspec, Topline, etc. Is that the easiest/cheapest way to go abo
