Splitting hairs is putting it mildly. I�m just trying to rule out all variables. It doesn�t appear that we have an SIR problem, but since the newest variable is OSP (blame the new guy for all the problems), I have to consider it. I�ve seen this befo

We are an OEM manufacturer, and are beginning to look at how we will be affected by the ROHS and WEEE directives. As of now we have many questions, and few answers. Does anyone know of a good comprehensive source where one could get information on:

Rohs and WEEE are good intentioned, wrong-headed Eurolander legislation that impacts the electronic industry worldwide. Look here: * http://www.dti.gov.uk/sustainability/pdfs/finalrohs.pdf * http://www.dti.gov.uk/sustainability/pdfs/finalweee.pdf *

Pallets will not work in this case because the wonderful designers put 0402's between the legs and all around the legs of the thru-hole connectors. There are 18 thru-hole connectors on this board and 200 - 0402's around them. The 0603's that are al

Rob is right. ESD flooring is "Conductive" which means it can drain ESD from the body. But if you have an insulated shoe, it does not good, the ESD remains on the body. Now if you wear a smock, then you can rub ballons in your hair and touch any

Dissipative flooring is not really "conductive" so to speak. what it does is (supposedly)dissipate charge as it accumulates on the surface of mat. Does this mat have a ground lug on it? Responses are correct, unless you can get conductivity between

Hi, We have a white residue, which is visible, and we would like to have the produce clean as it's a PCI card, so users see the PCB. I am wondering if we need to install a cleaning stage to the line for these kinds of products. Can anyone give som

Hi, Yes, I would hate to resort to cleaning, but the product must be clean. We have been using palettes to keep most of the flux off the PCB, but there is still residue around the connectors. Does anyone suggest a good no clean flux to use with le

I'd be happy to tell my customers that they need to provide more parts...the problem is, we specialize in short runs. So, if the customer pinches pennies, and only buys 50 pieces for 50 piece demand, I need to be able to deal with it. Hence, the

That is very interesting... I am curious though, why wasn't a plain blind rivet used? You probably can, but personally, I would be not want a solder joint holding the frame and the pcb... Mechanical stress on solder joints often leads to not good re
