This touches on one of my pet peeves. Management types demand something, that is not feasible or practicle. So the manufacturers put something together to pass off as what was asked for. In this case a way to put hard numbers on what a machine can

Hi Thanks, Going to APEX to see personal demos and hear what they offer and recommend is a great idea. I mean if you want to put AOI everyplace I am sure you will be supported with open arms. What I found interesting in the article was that large

We ran doublesided SMT thru Glue and Wave process before and but faced a lot of skip solder. Then the customer told us that they have similar problem when they ran the board so what they did was they print the paste-dispense the glue- place the comp

Hi Read those guides again and then give IPC a call to see if they can direct you to any other materials. This stuff is quite old so they should have lots. The Mil does also. IPC does have a Designers Council that serves your area. Give the leaders

Hi, Is there a standard that covers the shelf life of PCB's? I need to know, how long after manufacture a PCB can be stored in an uncontrolled envoirnment exposed to the atmosphere before being built on, currently we say 1 year, but nobody really kno

First, most �thermal shock� recipes are not a reliability test. There is no relationship between the failures seem in these tests and in-use application. These tests show you the failures in these tests. That�s it!!! Second, accelerated life test

I have just started an assembly which uses a 16 mil pitch QFP. We ran on Saturday, using a type 3 solder paste. (working Sat's really sucks) We really struggled with paste release after the stencil sat for 15 minutes without printing. Apertures clog

In order to get reliable reflow, you need to be at or higher than [liquidus + 20*C] for about 5 to 10 seconds. [I said 25* in a earlier post, but in an effort to stay on message, I'll stick with 20*] Don't forget that your liquidous is probably NOT

Kevin, One point that I'd like to make is that in order to get an accurate reading of the solder joint temp's you need to have the thermocouple right at the ball/PCB interface. I'd recommend precision drilling a mechanical sample of the unpopulated P

Hi, that post sounds very bad.But I thing you shoul make an order for that problem.First the problem as I can see is not single.If I am right you should do exams step by step: 1.Design of the board-examine very carefuly(ask the manifacturer for help)
