Again, I would like to refer to the tape dimensions and their deviations. In an 8 mm tape the distance from the sprocket holes to the tape pocket is 3.5 mm +/- 0.05 mm. This tolerance is easy to achieve, because in the manufacturing process of the ta

See, I didn�t bite on you zinc diffusion trick that you tried to pull last week. Understand, in this response, I am NOT trying to bust you. I�m trying to determine what you are looking to understand. [Some times I get so locked into talking a cert

Interesting situation. Everything [ie, intermetallic compounds, solderability, etc] is speculative without knowing more about the materials of: * Leads. * Solderability protection. ... because suppliers use a fairly wide of materials. Your suppl

Based on what you�ve said, comments are: * There is no reason not to expect a trace of Zn in your 85/15 Sn/Pb solderability protection, but Sn/Cu IMC are more prevalent than Zn. * Intermetallic growth and oxidation are very different materials proper

First, SM-782 elates to surface mount pads. So, expecting to find PTH design rules there is a bit of a stretch. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for similar threads. For instance here�s one from last week: http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fu

Consider NOT getting involved in those little POS chunks of sheet metal. * They're expensive. * You never have the one you need. * Even if you DO have the item you need, you probably will not be able to locate it. * It's all but impossible to c

That is the rub here, isn�t it? For those posting, it�s easier [but much slower] to start a new thread than to search the archives. [And posters could view their issue so unique and novel that it could never have been discussed several years earlie

Hello Mr. Peterson, I don't know where you're writing from, but if you're more than 25 miles from Rhode Island, I'll humbly and graciously accept the "expert" title. In general, I have to say that the backpanel removal tools are worth the money. As
