For us, it depends on product volume: * Low volume: Tailor's scissors sharpened for the job. * Mid volume: Custom die used in a press. * High volume: We don't do this, but we'd have buy a singulation machine, er something like that. [Search the SMTne

Thank you for the quick reply! Actually, the "type B" I referred to applies to a flex cable that can be found in this page: http://www.tennrich.com/trtw/cabling_3.php It is a reverse Engineering project and, from what I can see, there is, indeed,

What kind of circuit board are you using that can carry the amount of current that would necessitate the use of a 4 awg wire? Cant you just terminate the cable with a ring terminal and screw or swage it into the board?

Nice picture. What's that snot on the solder in the bottom left of the picture? I'd guess that this ribbon cable wants to be hot bar soldered.

Ribbon cable is 25 ml pitch (11.8 mil pad-to-pad), and solder is pre-applied and reflowed to the PCB pads. What is the best attachment method for this ribbon cable? What is the best method to prevent solder bridging? Hot bar, soldering iron with "

Hey, I'd try it. Well maybe not me personally, but one of the peeps, one with some touch and skill. Buying, setting-up and using a hot bar soldering machine is not rocket science, but who needs it, if you don't have to?

DaveF, What is your prediction if one tries to put a solder iron to it? Will the component bridge? I know hot-bar soldering is more common for things like Flex Circuits (with silver-filling epoxy), etc. and not so much for things where standard so

It appears a disgruntled employee has sabatoged my Sapphire solective solder. Along with cut ribbon cables, I think some jumpers were removed from the system board. D.O.M: '98. I was hoping that some nice person could take a picture of the system b

We changed the encoder because the ribbon cable is soldered to the board. Both encoders seem to be working correctly beep tested the cable. We have tried different size components 0603,0805,1206 and different boards. It will place about 3 to 5 com
