C1: is there any gap between the pad and terminal if we place the glue? R1: Yes, there is a gap, but it is easily bridged by the amount of solder in the wave. C2: Btw, my practice to print solder pate then punch glue then PNP component and finally

Dback, Current method is by using dispenser machine to dispense the glue at PCB. This non-wetting is randomly and not repeating to the same location. My adhesive height is 0.01" to 0.035". Is this will cause the component to had a gap between the t

Shy, You mentioned that you are using "dog bone" apertures for your chip components? It doesn't make sense to me. I thought that the "dog bone" was used for fine pitch devices, to keep the solder away from the center and avoid bridging. It doesn't

I've been using Xilinx TQFP's in the 44 and 144 lead sizes with no trouble. I don't even bake them before reflow and have never had any problem. The Xilinx parts are certainly NOT sensitive, I could not break one with my bare hands if I tried (I ha

Desoldering often applies a LOT more heat and thermal stress to the part, and maybe mechanical forces while everything is hot, to get the part free of the board. So, a lot of damage might be done there, making post-mortem harder. Without the leads,

Hi all Just found this forum and spent the last three hours reading your posts! I'm considering investing in a budget smt production line, and this is why: The company I work for manufacture very very small batches of boards, four a month for one p

I only build my own products, so it has to meet my needs for QA only. I am doing some 20 mil lead pitch (0.5mm) and will soon be doing a 0.4 mm pitch part. I have more magnification on my microscopes (40X) but almost never need to go that high. If

I must ask the silly question- are you sure you deposited the correct amount of paste? Depending on aperature design-the voiding could come from a stencil that has its holes partially built up with old paste. If paste volume is guaranteed, then what

If I read you right the issue is mostly with components from one supplier. I'd suggest looking at the components under a microscope. Also, if you have some old pre-tombstoning parts from this same vendor take close-ups of both and compare them side
