We've got lots of connectors at my place of employment like this. What I do is... I run these "slower than molasses in January" - we're talkin' 2 Ft/Min. conveyor speeds. Obviously this will have an effect on your thermal profile so compensate acco

From a manufacturing standpoint, this isn't very nice. Vias will tend to wick solder away from the pad, resulting in insuficient solder joints, which require touch-up. The amount of times any solder joint is reheated should be minimized, as extra h

Hi DaveF, I had a short look into the Nr1. IMPACT OF MICROVIA-IN-PAD DESIGN ON VOID FORMATION Most interesting reading, but one thing though, I could not find any information about the oven profile. Just a picture of it. My question is of about the

I agree with Jon, that using Gerber data is a pain in the butt, but that doesn't answer your question about what software to use. CircuitCAM, VALOR, UniCAM (now Tecnomatix), and GC Place are the more popular third party software packages that deal d

Although greatly publicized and many papers on the subject, I wish to hear experiences from the field from professionals who have migrated from SnPb wave soldering to PbFree wave soldering. I am being pushed by one of my largest clients, an internati

By and large, the industry has determined that SAC alloys are the "best fit" for replacement of SnPb in our industry. SAC305 seems to be the default alloy at this time. There are several other alloys out there, each with their own strengths and weakn

We use SAC305 for solder paste, and we have been pretty happy with it. When we jumped in to this Pb-free business I was a little nervous due to all the horror stories you hear about the process changes. It's not that big of a deal (at SMT). Over

We are looking into what equipment would be necessary assemble circuit boards. We will most likely purchase a circuit board and use a pick and place machine to populate the board, and then send through a reflow oven. Then inspect the boards and ass

OH! He he, St. Louis! I have recently acquired a very good P&P machine, and am in the St. Louis area. I got the machine primarily for my own manufacturing, but there is plenty of time available on the machine. If you'd like to see how the process

Hi. We have a medium to high volyme production with a lot of different boards to run inour lines. We do some prototypes as well but not as our main production. We have a lot of change over time that we try to reduce and as far as it's not double side
