I have been using aluminum tape to attach thermocouples lately. I got some when I ordered new thermocouples from KIC. I ran some comparisons using high temp solder and the tape, with no difference. You cut a small square of the tape (approx 1/8" s

We've got this power brick device with a Copper casing that gets so hot in the oven, that the solder on the circuit board inside the power brick reflows. Of course, the heat is abosorbed by the case. Profile adjustments have been tried, but we don'

I am currently building boards which have to be conformal coated (done by an outside source) in a no clean process. The conformal coating however, must be applied to a clean surface. The flux residue left from the paste has come into question. I h

Shawn: You're correct most solder preform manufactures don't want to sell preforms without skinning you alive for tooling charges!!! Considering alternatives, can you print or dispense paste? It would be mucho cheaper. We've talked about using pa

Dave, What type of wave solder are you using? How are the t-sots oriented relative to the direction of travel? You will get the best results with them oriented with the length of the body parallel to the direction of travel. You want the leads or

I am experiencing a problem when soldering down a TO263 package. The device has a large solderable tab (approx 8mm square)on the back and 5 leads. Sometimes the leads are not soldered to the board properly. I am using a metal mask with 9 "windows" of

Hello once again! I am having a problem with a 24 pin connector bridging on the wave. We use very similar connectors on other PCB with zero problems. This connector bridges in the same place on the same pins. It forms like a little block of four

Jason, where on the board is your connector?, front / back / middle? and where it on the PCB that you don't have issues with? Thief pad's are basically dummy pad's taht you have after the last set of pin's on the component are are used to draw the

Sounds like the problem is design realted - here's a cheesy trick if your product/process permits: (you know how I love my cheesey tricks!) Put an adhesive dot between the pins that are bridging. If you're gluing bottomside SMT components to the bo
