The magnetic thing from the sot23 thread made me think of somthing from the past. Does anyone have any experience with vibrating boards during reflow? I know for a fact that if you vibrate a board during reflow it will alow the parts to "float" and

Edited because I completely misinterpreted your post. We used 2 lengths of Durapol with slots for the board edges and a shorty (free-floating, not attached) under the middle. Not much more elaborate than your titanium shims but we had it laying aro

Since the inductor is electro-magnetic, that means the device is composite of coil and ferrite metal. The inductor inside the reflow oven meets with blower motors which close to the inductor and generate magnetic field. With such conditions, Lawren

What does everyone use for stencil apertures on D Paks? What's the best way to keep them from floating during reflow?

Its highly doubtful that stencil design will fix this. The Inductor floats during reflow and ends up going where it wants to go. The only way you are going to keep it in place is to put a dot of chipbonder beneath it or change the size of the lands

Hi All -- I'm about to design a DPAK part (case 369A-13, Issue Z)onto a PCB . The part's maximum length as given in the datasheets (On-Semi MAC4DHM) is 0.030" longer than the recommended land pattern as given in that same datasheet. (1) Has anybod

Yes, the main horror story is the cost. Also you will have to dispense/print in lower quantities and with different patterns than solder paste. It does not wick up device legs, it will not correct a part during reflow (no floating action)and will o

It sounds like this part is floating on your solder joint during reflow. You may need to redesign your pad geometry. In general with this type of clip - smaller pads are better. If you cannotcahnge pad size, try changing the openings on your stenc

Thank D.B. Cooper, actually this LED has 3 sides termination but no termination at underneath of LED. So this LED tends to float rather than performing solder joint during reflow process.

The Cpk collected by placement on glass boards and calibration has been done. All has been fine until we actually try on actual boards with printing. We have problems like insufficient solder due to closed aperture, improper flow of solder on the pad
