If I remember correctly since I cannot find my copy of IPC 600, I believe that the 20% reduction applies to "defects" and not the total etch process. By the way what is being used to measure down to .0005"? For this measurement to be correct it wou

Does Serge need bacons or turkeys?? None of them?? Then let him think about which machine suits his requirements! Throughput, flexibility, large board handling, output derating across board size variation and component size variation! Future proof -

Hi Fastek (what's your name?) The problem here is about the misconception about the FCM-I. As you rightly mentioned, the FCMs have gone through evolution in the last 10 years and the FCM 'I' too went through a lot of changes! And the FCM Is delivere

We have been using this finish almost exclusively for fine pitch boards for about 5 years. Make SURE you use a board house that does the gold plating in-house. There are some potential issues as DaveF stated. The only problem we have encountered is w

Hi, It's both really, and we are doing higher volume of current products, but new products are increasing in component count, mostly passives. We have analog on our products, and this uses a lot of passives, plus each semiconductor needs decoupling

Brad, If I were you I would not take advice from anyone on any forum. What you need to do is have all your requirements on a spreadsheet (i.e. part sizes, # of feeders, etc) and then call 2 to 3 minor players in the Pick and place arena and then call

Allow me to re-state my response. Hours on an oven would be the last thing I would care about if I wanted to know something about it. There is no standard lifespan on heaters, blowers and the like. They can last a year or ten. Sure you can assume a 5

Hi Scott, My Heller is a bog standard Heller 1500 with an edge guide. There is nothing special about it. I would of course love to have a 7 zone oven, but...I have to use what is here at this time. My only concern with a 5 zone oven is the change i

For now, on this first board, we will be reworking components such as 0805 and 1210 size caps and resistors, along with SOT-23 and SC-70 size packages. We might eventually get into BGAs. This board will most likely be a double-sided board, probably

Actually, I have never had the opportunity to discuss this with UIC. In fact, our Maintenance Engineer has told me that, according to UIC, the Set Command Variables should never be altered from their default settings except by qualified personel, and
