Hi, We have a serious problem bending our 24mm tape covers. In particular we are feeding a 24mm 16 pitch tape on a 24mm P8 feeder.The component is a plcc28,the tape cover is a AMCD3107 5.0 When the tape covers come in from Fuji the fingers that cove

CSP is similar to BGA process in that you need to undergo a reflow process to properly solder the chip. Also, a soak period is desirable to promote outgassing. You do not need nitrogen. We are building CSPs in a regular convection oven without n

First, from what you say, it's unclear that there is a "solderability" issue with your connectors. Different appearance of the soldered connection from one side of the connector to the other is what we're talking about [I think]. But it is curious.

cvrgrrrl Your first thermal cycle with imm silver should be the easiest to solder. That you see copper indicates you did no soldering, got no wetting, produced no intermetallics, etc. Tell us again which components did not solder? Wuzzis "plug" t

Organized or not, it is very easy to end-up with a bag of "fly shit" after sweeping the floor. Making measurements: * Search the net on "capacitance meter" to find an equipment supplier. HP [Aligent?] and IEC make very good meters. [We just use a F

Guessing at the meaning of your description of �res., fmf, .100, 3010, 1, S�: * res - Resistor * fmf � �mf� tells you �metal film� �fmf� tells you �flame metal film� type * .100 - Precision tolerance 0.1%, although it could be power rating. * 3010 �

Q1: Are the markings on resistors the actual value? A1: Generally, resistor marking indicates the value of the device, where the first two digits are the value and the third digit is the multiplier. Q2: Do AOI machines look for these markings or do

Actually, the most common reason I have seen vias in pads is for grounds in RF applications where the frequencies are high enough that you need a ground RIGHT THERE!... not .1" away. Vias and traces have RF properties of capacitance and inductance,

About as good as you are going to get for a general (broad) package download is from the two dummy component companies listed. If you want something better and corresponds to the parts that you are using (not dummy parts) download the data sheets fo

Every time this problem was brought to me, handling was the problem. Make sure to: 1- track the exact place the components are lost, i.e.: visually inspect the pcb before and after each step in your assembly line. 2- if step one does not pin point t
