I run a prototype/small-run shop, so I'll include some recommendations too: 1) Don't buy a machine for just what you are doing today. Once you get into this field you will find demand to do more. 2) Don't scrimp on the stencil & machine. You will spe

Tony: Thanks posting information about your experience with strippers. First, why did you need to strip the entire board? Next, please clarify the following points to expand our knowledge of using Humiseal 1063 Stripper: * How long was the conforma

I'd suspect contamination also, possibly from the board supplier. Sr. Tech's post mentioned what looks like a blister on the board, in the upper right of the Q19 photo. This could very well be a contaminate from the PWB fab shop. I've seen similar pr

Thanks to all for your input. We did have a third party do an analysis on boards from the first shop. They were shipped directly from the board shop to eliminate the possibility that we could contaminate them. The third party (Forsite) did find Sili

Make sure the housing for the switch can move up and down freely (no lose parts/screws and the lead screw is clean and lubed with some light oil). I've had a tactile housing come loose from the lead screw = limit errors - it should be tight with no
