Dear JMT, I have read your reply, and you have one small valid point. There are times when you should call Technical Support. It is not for us to judge when each individual calls upon that resource, allow me to note a few points: 1. You can't always

In my opinion sunsetting threads would be a silly decision - as new technologies emerge all the time that can offer a solution to an old / well-known problem. Furthermore, What is the harm in keeping it open? Sounds to me like many people are havin

This is just an Alert: We had a lesson on the effect of air shipments of devices which have been fully saturated with moisture. After being in a pressure cooker for two hours in Singapore, devices were sealed in metalized vapor barrier bags. They we

By Hot Air Knife I assume (leave it alone Dave F.) that you mean a debridging knife located at the exit end of a wave solder machine. Russ is right, they are not a good substitute for a good process, but once the process (w/o HAK) is developed, it
