Has anyone adopted Dual Lane Tape feeders in their production of SMT circuit board assemblies? Universal Instruments caries one if people are not familiar. I am looking into a smooth adoption of this into production and have been looking to gather a

We are using selective soldering pallet, which the soldering flux is Interflux 2005M. We encountered the poor hole fill mainly at the heat sink components. Initially we tried to apply more heat but tend to overkill the flux activity. After some modif

JAX: Thanks for the reply. We did send one of the boards back to the bare board supplier and they do concede that it is black pad. When you inspect the assembled board under a microscope, you can easily move the entire solder joint away from the p

Thanks everyone, I have found your postings very helpful for reflow ovens and intend to review my reflow calibration and validation, but in this particular instance I should have been more specific. We use the non conveyorized type of oven (Ten

We have a new SMT line, our customers are asking us the validation of the process. Not only the validation of the resulting assembled board (solder joint...) but also a validation of every single machine in the line (ex. stencil printer...). For exam

I think most of the european PCB assemblers will be ready, however taking it further to retail stocks & waste disposal is another matter. Checking the stats of our parent company (a component distributor) 97% of all components shipped are ROHS compl
