RoHS PCB Questions

Real Chunks...Yes, that's the most glaringly obvious defect in the short term (you'll probably find it on your production floor if it's really bad) but you may find that everything looks good short term only to have a high level of customer returns..

Fiducial replacements?

Electronics Forum | Tue Dec 04 09:46:50 EST 2007 | pms

Thanks for all your suggestions. I like the BGA replacement pad option the best. Reprogramming/programing? Forget it. That's what I'm trying to avoid. I'd be there all friggin day long, with all the loser "Labor Only" accounts we have. And oh, the p

Bill, Any reflow oven sales guy would be happy to help you with a snazzy sales pitch. I also had some info from paste manufacturers when I pitched it to my boss. Essentially, I believe, it comes down to control. You may be able to get a 4-zone ho

One per operator is the optimum for obvious. 3 to 4 per operator is more typical. The number is not as important as the type and time. Like don't have someone handle 2 different TO92 part nrs., splitting them up to different operators eliminates the

Micro Solder Balls in No Clean Selective Solder Process

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 09 14:46:29 EST 2008 | chef

Besides changing fluxes, do you have good knowledge of actual flux volumes? Do you have a micrograms per square value? Pre-heats can affect flux by burning off too soon and also not enough - therefore moisture hits the wave- how's your humidity cont

Affordable Inspection Microscopes?

Electronics Forum | Tue Jan 15 09:20:26 EST 2008 | rgduval

I just got a scope off of Ebay from Precision World. There have been some kinks, but, overall, it was a good experience. The scope I picked up actually zoomed a little too much for our needs (I need to use it for assembly, as well as inspection).
