I agree with Rob. These solder connections are unacceptable. BR, davef

I also agree. Even if it did meet specs, I wouldn't let a joint like this out. Reese

I would think the two main issues would be: 1)humidity too low affecting static control issues. 2)humidity too high affecting moisture sensitive components. Otherwise I agree with Evtimov, whatever equipment/personnel can handle.

Yes, I agree with Evtimov. It's more about aperature reduction and type than it is the type of machine. Aspect and and Area Ratio are very important. Take a look at this page I found on the internet http://www.qualiecocircuits.co.nz/stencil-techno

We run these all the time. Agree with other posts. I tried a few times to read leads on these with mixed results. Leadless is best. On GSM - run as leadless or chip and crank the lighting up on 2.6 or 4.0 ULC. You should get good centering.

I agree with Dave. Much better to store as he suggested then to store them in piles on the floor. Ha! Piles of boards... never ceases to be funny.... :-p Funny though...my customers don't seem to find it as funny as I do. I wonder why....

I agree with AFlex. Don't tin stranded wire that's assembled into a screw terminal block. I believe the reasoning has to do with avoiding stress on the wire metal caused by different expansion rates of the solder and the wire. BR davef

I agree with Jim. Don't do it!!! The tech from SparkFun [on the YouTube video] is giving you his hobbyist trick, which: * For hobby prototyping will work just fine. * For production work, the process is not in control and should not be considered.

Agree with previous comment regarding possible head-in-pillow. Use 3D x-ray or CT-scan to verify.

Evtimov, I agree. I'm leaning more towards the quality of worker rather than software, etc. Since this post this incident happened AGAIN! This time there was ZERO verification performed at start up.
