I'd have to agree with JAX here. This forum is intended to be a "Technical Bulletin / Newsgroup" and nothing else. Truthfully, these posts of the "old-timers" announcing their departures is getting..well.....OLD. I hate to see the Old-timers leave

Various lint free stencil wipe suppliers take various approaches to stencil cleaning. For instance ... Techspray Directions: Start with a dry TechClean Wipe (2358, 2361, or 2362) to remove excess solder pastes. Follow this with the 1608 Pre-Saturat

With friends like you, who needs enemies? I�d guess that the perceived benefits of flat pads for your 20 mil pitch and below components counter-balance the higher cost, gold being a solder pot contaminant, limited solder mask compatibility, potentia

A) Questions: 1) What sort of pallet materials used? 2) what PCB thickness & LxW size? 3) what stencil type & thickness used? 4) what profile type used (peak deg-C)? 5) any peak Deg-C contraints for the components SMT onto the PCB? B) We use pallet

Dave, We don't do any inspection. Before everyone says "bull...t". Let me explain. We are an OEM. I spent six years in subcontractor hell and wouldn't go back for all the tea in China. It took me two years to convince them when I first got here but I
