After reflow AOI makes sense because it has the highest coverage of the defects. Problems like tombstone, lifted pins, open solder joints, some shorts and insufficient solder you will not find before oven. I would also not agree with the statement th

We are producing control products for the Aerospace Industry both Commercial and Military. I have TQFP 100 fine Pitch in one of my PWB's Solder Side and have no misalignment problems or defects on my part after 2nd reflow. I control my reflow profile

There is no spec because solder is designed to provide an electrical connection not a mechanical connection to hold the part on. If it where mechanical we�d be welding our parts on. Your pad width and length are derived from your component manufact

In 2001, IVF evaluated the reliability of IBM CBGA and CCGA, i.e. packages with "hard" balls and columns, in space applications for the European Space Agency. One clear result was that amount of solder paste printed on the solder lands is very critic

Q1) Simple way to measure the PCB warpage A1) IPC-TM-650; Method 2.4.22 Bow & Twist Q2) What is the maximum warpage can the SMT machine allow the to accept and place the component without problem. A2) That depends. IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Elect

Russ, Your math is right, but you are converting the wrong direction. I belive: 0201s use millimeters for specification sizes, not inches. And 01005 use millimeters for specification sizes, not inches. And it may be like that for all passives, bu

We are seeing more and more jobs come in with matrix tray parts for our mydata machines. The problem is that the largest Y wagon will only hold 3 or less trays. We have some jobs that have 10+ trays. Currently our operators cut the trays down to sma

I think he did mentioned the board size in the inital thread: "265mm x 207mm pcb", but maybe it was not clear written. I have a question about rework and pre-heat: is it necessary to have the pre-heater to cover the whole board size, even if you onl

My experience with different size boards and pre-heaters. The perfect world (right?) you would saturate the complete pcb with bottom pre-heat. But it is difficult with repair and rework equipment, not to mention the expense and foot print of large pr

I've looked at a lot of AOI's in the past couple years. First and formost KEEP IT SIMPLE! Second clamp the boards down this will aid in keeping the camera feild of veiw stable, most that I've looked at this was an option not a stock feature. Also sid
