I have to figure out how to install a two-pin JST through-hole connector. It is a press-in style. We have pressed in larger connectors on single-sided boards with our pneumatic machine but this is a small connector on a double-sided board with small

I'm trying to develop a process for a small assembly consisting of two mirror image PBGA connectors, I've built the first prototype, but I ran into different problems: 1. The SMT connector was shifting during placemnt, and I knew one issue i have to

Mario, If you are looking for a cheap press to do press fit connectors, then you are asking for trouble. Now, and in the long run. ASG out of West Palm Beach makes a very good press. We bought a 5 ton version and are able to press up to about 2500

We had a similar issue and it was fixed by trimming the connector so there was barely enough lead protrusion through the board to show a discernible lead. We had to get a special plate and small machine to cut the connectors, but we haven’t had a bri

Thanks for the comments so far. The smallest nozzle I've tried is a 4mm, which is what Pillarhouse used on this board to provide a sample. I tried this but wasn't as good as the 6mm. I've soldered the same connectors on a different board using a 10mm

Hey all! As background, I recently purchased a full SMT line for my company. We have a DEK 265, an assembleon opal xii, and a Heller 1500. Currently our jobs are leaded, and the heller is working perfectly. An upcoming job that we are potentially g

Could you make up your own adaptor cable to connect to your programmer, then fit a small form connector like a Firewire on the edge of the PCB? It should only take up about 7x7mm of real estate as opposed to a 2.54mm 5x2 pin header 12.7 x 5.08, or a

I have many PCBs that use an AVR in SMD packaging, and since I frequently change the firmware in prototype boards, I'm trying to come with the best solution to program the AVR quickly and easily. The first approach was to have a standard header (2x5

I know this post is getting a bit old, but the Juki KE-2060 can do 0201 up to 74mm square (or up to 150mm long connectors) on their standard machine. You only need to purchase the 0201 nozzle and feeder. The machine is factory set to run 0201. And

I agree with Ken, the root cause could very well be obvious. However, take a look at the following items, these checks only take a minute to accomplish. 1. If your stepper drivers are the older 5410 Pac Sci modules, check for melted power connectors
