| I would like to hear from anyone producing high mix (~200 modules) with low volumes (5-2000 per year) using an automatic line running lot sizes in the 5-50 range. We are engaged in an investigation to invest in this capability. A view into the or

Adam- Mikie here. I too am placing 2 PBGA sockets on an assembly but they aren't mirror imaged. Thanks to the SMT Gods for that one. You say you added more paste to solve for open solder. Do you have x-ray? Were the alignments perfect? Also the part

The main criteria is at what frequency is the RF operating? If it's in the microwave region, forget no-clean. Low frequencies - 0 to 100 MHz, probably ok. Beyond that, it's application specific. Depends on components used and circuit design. The p

The results from an experiment comparing 27 different combinations of pad dimensions concluded that the pad design with 15 mil pad length, 12 mil pad width, and 9 mil pad separation produced the best assembly yields. A 5 mil thick laser cut stencil

Your first inclination is correct. You should start by asking your friends and colleagues on SMTnet: * What is that SMT or MEMS or COB etc.? * What are the considerations when processing a SMT or MEMS or COB etc.? We�re one smart crew that won�t st

Thank you all for your input. We didn't get the oven and if we did I decided in the short term to just turn it around and run it as a belt mesh oven - the next line we buy runs it's conveyor to suit the oven. Hi to you Marc, it's been a few years. Yo

We are trying to produce a PC Card bus assembly with a 672 pin BGA on one side. These pcb's are .015 thick. I believe the ball pitch is .5mm. The pcb's are plated with white tin. The pcb's are in a 1 X 3 array. We had 2 plates with appropriate cutout

I recently started at a new company. They have a variety of bare PCB's and most have aprox. 20 variations. Maybe about 1/3 of each board on average are non-populated locations. They buy one stencil for each PCB but then use scotch tape to block of

http://www.ceeris.com/DPMO.htm Ceeris is a company that may help you. They collect data and publish benchmark results. Their DPMO report will give you the data you need, for each process step. It's not cheap- they want $3000 per copy. Beyond that,
