The only issues I have had in the past with the shuttle are 1. The transport conveyor into the machine was not aligned correctly causing pickup issue from the belt. 2. Operators not correctly loading parts in trays or updating the qty's, this meant

Emmanuel: Popcorn effect is mostly caused by entrapped moisture in the components package material. Plastic ICs are known for absorbing and storing moisture when exposed to normal factory conditions. They should be stored in an moisture reduced envir

davef I assume this question is for my reply and me. We used a dexter\hysol underfill and a Camalot 5700 to dispense.Single line technique next to a small IC with 14 bumps around the perimeter.The conformal coating was applied with a small brush aro

the cause could be moisture in your pcbs. To check it...pass some bare pcbs through your reflow oven (this is a simple way of drying them out a bit), then paste and place and reflow as normal....if solder beads disappear then the pcbs have too much m

A quick experiment idea: Try reflowing a bare board prior to assembly. Perhaps your boards have moisture and outgassing issues.

Hi All, Recently, we encountered strange defect at our SMT line. We can see solder ball spatter around at one of the component pad. This lead to insufficient solder defect at 1 side of the component. The other side of the component look good(Meet

Are you considering baking due to moisture exposure? Not all OSPs are created equal. I would check with your PWB fabricator about dry times and effects on their OSP finish. After you get it, I'd still try just one PWB for bake-dry out and check solde

We keep our MSDs in a dry cabinet. We only bake if we suspect we have a moisture issue usually PCBs or large BGAs and then it goes back in the dry cabinet.

First of all you need a new board house. You should quote us http://www.americancircuits.com. This really looks like a poor drilling operation with the blow holes. Blow holes are usually caused by two main problems. Improper drilling and/or moisture.

For the capacitors that Yageo analyzed... Were they taken out at representative points in the process?? ie. were samples taken from pre-assembly, pre-ICT, post-conformal coat, post-final test? You note that the parts 'seem' to be ok up to ICT. And
