I am in the process of building a pneumatic paint bomb for the scenario paintball games that I host. What I need is a countdown timer with a red led display which will actuate a solenoid to trip a switch and close a curcuit for 1 second. I will pay t

Hi John- First, I do not have first hand experience so my input is pure theory. This type of package (in Some Cases) has a center grounding bonds and leadless legs ups the difficulty tremendously. With no stand-off from the Balls(or Legs) when the so

Hi Russ, Thanks for the input. The squeeze out we are reworking is very very thin since it has been flattened so it is actually easier to remove than usual but I agree, with a pad this small it could exert a bit of stress on the bond line if rework

Louis, For whatever it is worth, When I have $5000 parts I don't even mess around with a rework station. I would mask off any heat sensitive components (We use water soluble masking like that for wave soldering) and then process through the oven yo

Like many others out there I am new to SMT assembly on flex circuits. In the past, we purchased flex assemblies manufactured from a sub-con. Now we will be building internally. Are there any guidelines when building products with flex circuits? Wa

Thanks for the update. I did just call Samsung and Mike Foster is indeed there but out on business trip. Seems you have all the scoop needed. As for the machine we had a pure laser vision (I guess you can call laser vision) and it was pretty good. I

Through hole question - what methods can be used to obtain upflow on multi layer pwbs with huge ground planes. We are using a water soluble flux with a max temp of 220 topside. I am pushing the limits of the flux and hitting 250 topside in an attempt

Emergency!!! We have a small run (5) of very dense boards that have an immersion tin finish. They were built in April/May and have a heavy tarnish appearance on them, smd pads and through holes. We are being asked to apply ssd to the surface mount pa

Hello all, I am just curious as to the recovery # people are using on their Fuji chipshooters. One of my co-workers insist that we should run on E-stop. I tell him that we should run on 2 or 3 times and operators should be expected to watch the dump

I hate being persnickity, I just am sometimes. You are not being told you "should expect" that variance. You are being told you can't sue them for manufacturing defects if the balls are within that range. That range is way bigger than what they wil
