We are constantly messing around with easy ways to transport double sided boards through reflow. (Boards that cannot ride on the chain fingers for any number of reasons). We've got some fancy Durostone carriers that work awesome but are product spe

Good Morning SWAG, We have the same situation. We have found that for the most part, bottomside components do not move from thier location durring reflow unless pressure is applied. We have had instances where the component is able to drop down into

Are there any standard qualification/acceptance requirements for immersion tin board finish? J-STD-003 calls out temp/humidity preconditioning followed by solderability testing which is similar to what we have in our (ancient) internal documents. O

I don't remember ever having that problem with my EKRAs, but you might look at how much fluid you're dispensing on to the cleaning medium if this is occurring while you're using wet cleaning cycles. It could be getting saturated to the point of weakn

We are incurring problems with Film Chip Capacitors with reflow issues. Some of the parts are misaligning or not soldering on one end (almost tombstoning) . We left the parts in the dry cabinet till they were used. We tried both reflow ovens (hell

lead-free processes involve higher temperatures. if you run this PCB thru the reflow oven, the worst possible scenario is that the board may melt and deform. even if it doesnt, it may delam internally (and or the bare board reliability might be compr

I found this searching the archives. Unfortunately Bob doesn't seem to have an active site anymore, just references by people he works for. It's a shame, because there was a load of good stuff there. Haven't looked at Phil's site for a while but it's

I would try to panelize as big as you can for sure as you'll spend more time handling single boards than running anything. Additionally, this size is very close to smallest capabilities on GSM depending on your configuration. Fids on all boards in

yes there is Caveman, (well maybe depending on your circumstances) you need to purchase a manual printer and print the connector then flip and print the other side. (you need a manual printer so you can print after the parts have nbeen reflowed, we

A customer specs .1% thin film 0805s on one product. The parts that came in the kit were marked 1002, and I suspect they were just 1%ers that were sorted for the tighter tolerance. We were a few short, ordered the balance and got parts marked 103 w
