I have a PCB that I am looking to do selective soldering. I am looking at several systems (IE Seho, Pillarhouse, Premier Tool Works, wave pallets). The board is mixed SMT/PTH, but only has SMT on topside. It has 4 PTH(2 leads ea)components (.030 lea

Thank you for the info but when I say anchor I am asking if it uses only one ball (pin one). I believe you are saying it uses a predefined number from every corner to map out the part according to the description given inside the GF. If this is true,

If this is going to be the beginning of a lucrative and fast growing company you probably want to go with Fuji ( CP series ) , it's by far the fastest and longest lasting. If money is a big issue at this time and you want to get the biggest bang for

Hello everybody, engeneering came up with following problem: Considering worst case the get a temperature at a component (Resistor 0805) of 109�C and 99�C at the solderjoints. As a rule of thump I said that the max. suitable temperature for the solde

In our facility we face a lot of power failures due to the to the city electricity network problems.So, it has hppend many times to loose some PCA's inside the reflow oven. Of course it costs a big money tobuy a UPS for a reflow oven. One suggested

Hi Tim It sort of depends on the solder alloy being used and the particular assemblies being soldered. If you are using the usual 63/37 alloy I would consider 500 to be a bit warm unless the assembly required it. Some alloys would require a higher

Anthony: John's points are well taken. All SMT components float to some degree. Fly shit floats more than multi-lead. Well duh!!! I know of no formula. The most cogent discussion is in THE BOOK (Klein Wassink's "Soldering In Electronics), but i

Assuming you are using Sn63/Pb37 solder paste, have you tried using a lower temp melting point solder paste for the second pass? For example, use 63/37 for first pass and a Bi58 compound solder paste for the second pass. If I recall, Bi58's melting

Automation and low cost is an oxymoron sort of like jumbo shrimp. Automation will set you back $20,000-100,000. Optical comparitors aren't cheap either. Low cost means good eyeballs, a "golden" sample board and up-to-date documentation. Also low c

Hello there: Currently we are building our own facility for producing electronic assemblies. I had a long discussion with my colleagues concerning the ESD mats surrounding the sensitive components areas such as the pick & place machine
