Ditto to everything said. If everything in the process is correct you will have good success at 25 mil but it will take much care. I have done 20 mil on this type of printer but, as Steve says, I wouldn't want to on a daily basis. Those wipe-offs a

I'm confused ... Land Grid Array (LGA). An alternative to the BGA for device manufacturers is to package their devices without any terminations on the bottom. Although not technically accurate, the easiest way to envision an LGA device is to pictu

I have evaluated SRT, Air-Vac and Conceptronic rework stations. All three machines offer great BGA and Micro BGA rework capability. But the one I have preferred is the Conceptronic Freedom 2000, as a matter of fact I have purchased two freedom 2000 i

Sal: When western companies first started studying Japanese companies, they found the Japanese using a technique called "poka-yoke." It means mistake-proofing. In this, the designer specifies parts and assemblies so that they can be assembled one

Hello Nick I'm not aware of any published 1:1 footprints. couple of options: Topline dummy show and tell display cards. $$ I believe. Since there aren't that many different pitches, get one of each and glue those puppies to a card. Could be new, dea

Nick, Like John says, it will only be a short time and you will "just know". In the meantime you might want to try - 1. All the placement machine manufacturers have show pcbs for the exhibitions, many of these show pitch and package types on the silk
