everyone made good observations in the arena of improvements. being rather pessimistic today, I'd like to say the one core area of little (if none at all) improvement is the over-reliance of human (aid/non-aid) inspection of SMT output soldering de

I'm attempting to develop paste in hole process so that I can reflow a few plated through hole components on a mixed tech board. Tried various pastes, profiles and stencil thicknesses. Would appreciate any insights and/or pointers anyone can share on

I have seen a few around in PA. Customers seem to like them. Comments I heard was that they're better on smaller components but not so good on large UFP. Mirae (Korean company)is the OEM for the Quad Meridian. Mirae is back with Tyco/Quad for distrib

we have two 1030 and two 1030p. Great for customizing and making changes on the fly. Although support from Mirae is non- existant, in fact trying to find anyone from that company who knows anything is a joke. Tyco seems to have the only qualified

Hi all, We recently purchased an Omniflow 10 and I am setting up some new recipes. I am told that you can crank the belt speed up pretty fast on this oven. The recipe I am working on now has a belt speed of 30 ipm. What should I have the belt speed

Sr. Assuming you are processing the garden variety 63/37 paste on FR4 substrates, a good starting point is to plan for 3.5 to 4.5 minutes of process time on the board. If you measure the total heated length of your oven and you use the range above,

We are a military contractor running mixed technology CCA's. We currently "map" all defects off reflow and wave by indicating the defect on a map (plot from gerber) then passing it on to rework. The map is used for SPC data as well as overall perform

We handle this issue by adding a .1, .2 etc after the existing rev. Ex. Rev is A - we do an internal Rev changing an item and it goes to Rev A.1 - Basically you are building a Rev A with that ECO applied to it. It works well but you need to pay atte

A customer recently questioned our use of the EIA curves for derating SMT devices for increased ambient temperatures. The European method (CECC) is much more severe in derating power ratings of devices as temp increases, but there are differences in

We would be very wary of allowing 50 uinches, because this will likely result in reduced shelf life due to intermetallic growth. As a guesstimate, at least 10 uinches of that 50 uinches, and maybe more, is already intermetallic when you receive the b
