We find it curious that: * Heat slug pad for Q19 didn't take solder, indicating a pad [board] solderability issue. * Signal termination pads for Q19 didn't flow well, indicating a poor thermal recipe or a pad [board] solderability issue. * Signal ter

Per Tony SMT Here are more photos: Q15, Q16, Q17 represent good transistors on a 1 up board with the transistor locations that are in question. Q13 is a good transistor on a bad 2up board. Right next to it is Q14 a bad transistor on a bad 2 up boa

We are a small OEM that also does EMS for local companies. We run our SMT line 10 hours/day 5 days/week and average 2 changeovers per day. We are using a MyData machine in our line. With the proper mix of magazines and feeders, changeover times ca

I'm curious if anyone has figured out a clever way to errorproof this. We're exempt from RoHS so we have mostly SnPb products but some Pb free ones at customer request. Of course, we have methods to control moisture sensitive parts, but I worry tha

Yes, BLAME. It's a common theme in manufacturing unfortunately. Also, unfortunate, is that the PROCESS is the easiest thing to blame and often the path of least resistance to the non-technical manufacturing personnel (operations managers and line s

"Disturbed" usually means some form of movement. I would think your leads are moving due to warp as the board exits the reflow zone. Not knowing your profile, I would suggest checking your profile. Make sure you have adequate "above liquidous" and

I am looking for users of YesTECH AOI that would be interested in comparing notes on what minor problems you have had and how you may have figured out what you could do that didn't require YesTECH support? Or little tricks that help you make the mac

My guess is that either the board house did not cool the boards down properly coming out of the lamination oven. Typically after they come out of the heat chambers they go into a cool down chamber for x amount of time, if they cool to fast or are pu

Warpage typically (not always) kinda, sorta points to a fabrication bake induced issue that is the racking technique & may be relieved by "flat baking" under weight. Your baking at 125* won't do dip. You need to get the laminate temperature above it'

Yup, this is pretty scary, all right. I have just used up the last FPGAs of a batch we bought from a Chinese source. Never again! Some of them worked, some didn't, in a variety of nefarious ways. People cautined me about empty packages, etc. Wel
