| We will wave solder a board with SOIC14 and SOIC16 parts on the bottom. It has been difficult to find any specific wave solder process recommendations from manufacturers of the SOICs. The pad geometry utilizes theiving pads on both sides to reduce

| We are using .040" diameter fiducials (global and local) on our boards. They are solder covered and HASL. I get batches of boards where the p&p vision system has trouble reading the fiducial. The fiducial looks dark on the screen. The board ven

Actually, solder paste adds about 12% to the joint volume for PBGAs, or about 31% for MicroBGAs -- assuming standard (recommended) pad sizes and stencil thicknesses, and paste with 90% metal content (50% metal by volume). | | I'd like to find some t

| Love the picture. | | We are considering the PRC 1500. It combines a thermoflo unit with a MBT 250A which we currently use. Does anyone know the difference between the TF200 and the TF700? This is the first I have seen the TF700 mentioned. | |
