Maybe there's no test and I don't know where or why my customer came with that requirement (I think because in one of the board shipments he got a board were a smd resistor broke, but I think that happened because miss handling), but anyway I need so

Thank for the input. But I guess I was looking for more. We have been transferring boards for some time and a have good working relationship with our primary CEM and have worked out many bugs. I was thinking more on the order and don't shoot me bu

Simple process - we use similar Kester solder brands of "no clean" low residue solder wick to clean our pads, then brush with isopropyl, and apply Kesters brand of tacky flux under a Leica 6x microscope. We do this on 7x7mm and 9x9mm packages. This w

Start with targets based on the stencil thickness (for height) and stencil thickness times the aperture size (for volume). * Set reasonable upper and lower control limits (+ 25% and –25 % of the targets, for example). * Next, check the printer set-u

You can't control what you don't measure. You have provided very little detail other than post reflow costs are high. What defects are attributed to problems experienced prior to reflow? Are these random or recurring defects? You will need to put ea

Tmo, Thanks for your reply. It gives good advise about how to perform tests. The type of strain gauges that I want to design are inside the PCB at various layers and I want to read the data during the press step. Do you know if these prefabricated
