I know this is a little outside of SMT production, but, I'm hoping someone out there can help me with a small issue. I have a product that I'm building that requires 4 .250" wires, with .125" strip on each end. I solder one end to the board, and on

Joris We don�t know the maximum period to store the boards without having problems with blowholes. Too many variables to determine. We prefer to just fix the problem, but understand that you have stock that you need to build-down. Determining mois

Hi Dave - You are correct that I was not clear in my comments. I assumed Joris had seen the usual solder balls accompanying his blowholes. Nevertheless, Joris, my first two recommendations still stand. Increasing the dwell time of your leads in t

I'm using a separate thread related to another thread because I didn't think it appropriate to 'pile on' to my tale of woe. This question is strickly operational: - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - In using a Universal Radial Inse

Dedicated fixtures are always better, assuming you use a good manufacturer. If your a CM you will always have a battle convincing customers to pay for dedicated fixtures unless you have a detailed cost structure that can show them how they will save

The two factories I've worked at that ran Radial Lead inserter/sequencers were both building their own products and we were able to specify our own panelization guidelines. One-half inch rectangular frame on all boards. Our universal workboard hold

Thank you for the answers to my questions. We are running two-lead LED insertions. Most of our PCBs are square between 9" and 14.25" in a 16 x 16 array, so pitch ranges from 0.52" to 0.90". Further complications are that most of the boards have th

I could help you with the SET features if I saw them. It's been about 4 years so I don't remember them off the top of my head. What you would do (nutshell) is get your non-rotated insertions dead center, then step through to a rotated insertion until

Hi every one I would like to have some inputs here,I would be very appreciated if you can give your suggestion; Currently we are working on 2 underfilled BGAs with SRT-1800 rework station(hot air type),one is mounted on a single sided PCB whereas the
