Hello; Can anyone give me advise on the best way to manually align a 20"x20" stencil on a semi-automatic printer? We have a board with a 16 mil pitch QFP and have difficulty aligning the stencil. We have tried various alignment schemes on the pcb an

David, I've thought about doing this also with no clean boards that were poorly cleaned following a misprint (and subsequently reprinted, populated, and reflowed) but have shyed away because of the potential for damage to components from the ultraso

We're looking at buying some new hand insertion slide lines here, and I was curious if anyone had any suggestions. Of course cost and footprint size are important. What we have now are mostly home made and we're looking to improve. We do a medium

Folks, Does anyone have data to support that a minimum clearance left around the perimeter of a BGA on a board design can improve its solderability? In other words, if X distance is left open (free of components) around the BGA, could ball solderab

Greg, Yes, I did my tour of duty. Is your boss back from Bermuda yet? If so, tell her to check her email! Thanks. BTW, there could be a benefit to moving parts, but that would be dictated by your ability/inability to achieve a proper reflow prof

There is too little heat to make the solder flow properly. Test this theory by profiling on the pad where the solder doesn�t flow well. As the time after posting this thread increases, we generally propose additional theories. Rather than us specu

You should specify the level of res based on the effect of the res on the end-use of the product. J-STD-001 defines cleanliness requirements for ALL flux types, including water soluble and no-clean that you mention. 1 There is no equivalency betwee
