The BioAct SC-10 wipes work great, but I've noticed some contamination in our solder joints after I began using them on the stencils. After cleaning the paste off the stencil with the wipes, I started spraying the stencil down with isoproponal and bl

We had a similar system on the Siemens machines, quite some time ago. However, it was not a laser light but a LED and a fiber cable. Actually the center fiber or receiver was surrounded by a bundle of small fibers for the LED light source. You may al

Large voids are common in via in pad [seach the fine SMTnet Archives for earlier laments], especially in blind via. Observations on your via out gassing theory: * If the copper plating on your via is GT 1 thou, there will be no outgassing from the

David F. thanks for information about the copper plating issues, I will check out the Indium site as you suggest. You are right about Thermount being Unreworkable, but T.I. makes us do it due to the cost of these RF proto types, $250 each bard board.

You are right about the very poor support for smaller customers. I had told them we were looking for another paste and now they have sent the reginal manager and the US sales manager has come by to see what they can do for us. All they keep saying is

We tested J6 open on .5mm pitch CSP(In fact,only resistance much lower than normal).J6 is one of the corner ball of the CSP.Defect rate is about 3%. Stencil:4 mil thickness,10 mil square aperture, solder mask openning:10 mil diameter circle. Board fi

Maximum production per SMT Line

Electronics Forum | Fri Jun 04 17:41:17 EDT 2004 | ricardof

Hi to all, I have one question that I hope to receive comments - Does anyone know or have any experience for the maximum boards you can run on a SMT line, this is quite general, but let's consider a board 8" x 8", about 400 components. Regardless of

It really depends on how you depanel these, If you are using a machine you can probably get away with the 1mm, If not, the 5mm is there to help reduce the cahnce of fracturing the component. Some interesting notes about having a defined keepout is

Multi-part reeling for pick and place
