Dave, that's good thread, but I think Mike is more concerned with the Titanium inserts that pallet manufacturers often use to overcome sh*tty designs - like the ones where they put a Through-hole 2mm away from a SMT pad. He's not so concerned about t

Well, I don't know if you want to muck around this much, but I bought a GE (Chinese made, of course) toaster oven with convection fan. Nice big glass door in front, you can use it in bake, broil, toast or convection oven mode. The only thing missin

The only time the customer is going to care about the standards is when it costs them money. Unsophisticated customers will continue the practice of providing little or no useful information, poorly designed boards and ridiculous mods until there is

I need a technical specialist to turn-on, trouble-shoot, modify, repair, and test the power supply prototypes at the printed circuit assembly and instrument levels. This person would be involved in setting up both manual and automated tests, making m

I have used 1A33 for many years with excellent results on through-hole pcbs in equipment subjected to very hot and very cold environments. Because 1A33 continues to harden with time, I assumed it would simply not be usable on smt boards, cracking t

Our products are a mixed technology; with both surface mount components solder side and through-hole top side, in addition to massive heat sink assemblies. We have been using your SN100C solder in our wave solder process with Multicore MFR301 Flux si

We experiences some failures on PCB assemblies from the field when a methacrylate epoxy adhesive was used to secure some through-hole components to pcb board as reinforcement against vibration. During application, the epoxy covered some smaller SMT c

Make sure that both lead frames are contacting the PCB pads when the part is on the placement head. We had an SM xfrmer that we were handling with vacuum by a ferrite cap that was not glued on straight. The part would contact one set of pads and get

In my experience Through Hole equipment normally racks up the downtime due to the amount of process variables. For SMT you would normally try to capture your workhorse machines Utilization. For example a chipshooter inline with glue dispenser,screen

My factory is in front of establishing SMT production line. I have difficult task to select what machines we will buy. Unfortunatelly I don't have enough experience because so far we had through holes production only. On the market exist many produce
