This is getting deep but here's my input: Here's an idea....... Get a full reel and weigh it on a parts scale down in the stock room. Next weigh an empty reel. Subtract empty from full, and devide this value by the quantity of the full reel. This

Hello Joseph, I'll be honest, I'm finding it a bit difficult to understand and visualize the complete scenario. If this component is designed for surface mount placement into a slot on a PCB, then why does it even need support from the bottom side? I

Pete I can fully understand the inter-departmental problem your dealing with. A couple of simplistic thoughts since your only dealing with pennies. You cannot afford to run out or the parts you are dealing with or you will have thousands of dollar

Orrrrr, just buy a small reflow oven, 5K to 7K, and eliminate the paste printing by using solid solder deposition. No shorts, no opens, no cleaning, and no voids. www.sipad.com If you decide to print your own paste later you can invest the extra 30

Hi John- First, I do not have first hand experience so my input is pure theory. This type of package (in Some Cases) has a center grounding bonds and leadless legs ups the difficulty tremendously. With no stand-off from the Balls(or Legs) when the so

We provide each assembly its own recipe then customize the unique recipe as required, using a SlimKIC 2000 profiler. This tool allows precise control of the reflow process and accounts for the component and layer densities of each board. This appro

A minimalist approach would be to add one 8mm, one 12mm one 16mm you get the idea. It's not that big a deal to swap a reel of whatever component onto the open feeder. The next step up is to gauge the cost of the initial set of feeders, say, if ther

I've seen many comments in many threads about the positive attributes of SN100C (apparently mostly by salesmen). However, I have a concern for the higher temps that will be encountered when using SN100C (or Sn/Cu) vs. SAC305 (vs. 63/37), specifica

Good point Russ but we do builds that comprise of 50 of this and 100 of that. Our high average issue might be around 400 or 500 parts but most are under 100. 20,40,60 flat over-issue gets us set-up and error scrap. 2% of 50 is 1 part. 2% of 500

Dear reader, I have good experience with the Yamaha machines sold under the Assembleon (Philips) flag in Europe. These machines are very flexible in programming, easy to use for operators and have a very good rest value, now a small system is offered
