Hany, Chartrain has some good points, if you product is expensive, what does the cost of a UPS amount to? Remember, you don't want to 'back up' the heating zones, just the controller and conveyor drive system so product doesn't get stuck in the oven

I am interested in discussing AOI. I am looking at introducing a system to a new SMT line. I am very interested in hearing from someone with MVP, MVT, Kestra, and CRTechnologies. The combo of x-ray and 2D inspecion that CRTechnologies offers is very

Wolfgang: Sure, stacking chip components is common practice in prototyping, as you say, but it's not good practice for production work. Documentation: * ANSI-IPC-275 does not allow stacking * MIL-STD-2000A does not allow stacking * J-STD-001B is u

Back to Wolfgang's original request. Stacking chip components is just one of many unusual mods that are being added to IPC 7711 Rework of Electronic Assemblies. While some may deem this technique unacceptable, it is a relatively common practices

Bill S. is correct on the positive effects of the Smartsonic 440-R SMT detergent. We have been using this in conjunction with a Smartsonic 4200-2D ultrasonic washer that is equipped with a tank heater set at 100'F. Our suggested process window to p

Hi Jeff Actually it's not necessarily Signal to Noise Ratio or even RF circuitry. All no cleans leave behind residue by description. This residue can affect RF or other high frequency circuits in a number of different ways including SNR. Very high

Now an than I hear, read about the same thing but without mentioning specific frequencies. It�s something that worries me in the back of my mind but not in actual daily workflow. Our boards go up to 50Mhz with digital bus systems and are made with no

Assuming that you are going to solder them into a board rather than socket them, yes. The thickness of the gold plating in this application will usually make up a large enough percentage of the total joint to threaten enbrittlement. Use a small sol

The papers I've read suggest that we need to be concerned if the weight percent of gold in the finished joint exceeds 3%. You might want to do the calculations to see where you stand, before you set up a process to "tin" the leads. If you find that

Michael: DIGITIZING BOARDS Yech!!! ScanCAD 303.986.7707fax7631 makes a Xerox copier-like thing to copy your board. But why not consider: 1 There are service bureaus that will scan and convert your boards. 2 Why don't you get the gerber data fr
