Hello, We are using a PCB with thickness 3.2mm 4 layer and lot of through hole via's of diameter 0.4mm. We specified our PCB vendor to do plugging. Now we have big problems, that after 1..4 weeks we measure a low resistance between track's/via's of

I'd like to get more information about pick and place nozzles. How can I learn more? ... What do the nozzles look like? Are there different shapes? Are custom nozzles sometimes used for custom parts or are the nozzles mostly standardized? What kind

No, I don't work for Suntech (me company name is different but close, it much have been misspelled:-)) and the company isn't exactly a trace lab, However, that wasn't the point why I �jumped in�. Defining a problem as �solderability� is too generic.

Yes why did the Electroless Nickel layer split this is the ROOT cause. My guess is still that the resist was slightly miss registered over the copper and therefore poor adhesion of the Nickel ensued OR like I said originally the resist had contaminat

My people said I was needed again here on The Forum. Thanks Mr Head for the goddos on wave soldering. It's a hard process to grasp and not every one nows how to adjust eveything properly. I can tell you regognize expertise when you see it. That s

I guess you're adding the gas to keep the fingers clean - sounds likeyou got your threads mixed up on the Forum. Any way I would suggest not doing this. Gas is pretty flammable. I have pix of one our Hollis cleaning machines going up in flames cau

You may not be getting enough exhaust pull, so the cooling modules over temp. Try swapping blower motors to isolate that before buying one. STANDARD AIR OPERATION: - Load-end: 150 cfm (255 m3/hr) at the 4� (102 mm) stack (minimum requirement) - Unlo

At a former employer we required HASL thicknes to be a minimum of 0.75 micron (30 microinches), as measured at the thinnest point on any given pad. This would generally assure a minimum 1 year solderability shelf life. Usually when we saw a soldera

I've installed both (at different companies),currently a MPM 125 user. The DEK seemed slightly easier to program a new board. I guess it depends on which platform you're most familiar with. The Hawkeye inspection we had is fast to setup but doesn'
