We are experiencing FOD coming off of a Cooper Bussman fuse. The components are dark with a metal like substance. In our testing based on what we were seeing we placed components onto a piece of FR4, placed a drop of flux onto the component and ran t

We have a customer with an assembly that will require potting using 3M DP-270. There is a component that needs to be covered with potting material but it is considerably higher than the overall potting height of the cavity. The low viscosity of the

We often do double sided SMT assembly, never had issues with smaller components. However, we apply glue to heavier components like inductors, SD card sockets etc. For this purpose, we have a glue dispensing machine inline after the solder paste prin

Hello SMT bear, 1. Is the embossed tape the correct tape for the component? Sometimes packaging services might use wrong tape if part was sent for tape and reel. CAn you tell us what package the component is? What tape is it packaged in? 2. Feeders

We had an interesting problem this week that is along this thread. Had a project that had the same resistance value components, but one component was a 1% tolerance and the other was a 1/2%. Guess what? the operator got them mixed up. We have a first

Most of the older placement machines might not have a 2mm advancing feeder. Here is how I get by picking from a 8 mm feeder without loosing every second component. 1. Define a second component in the BOM. 2. Define this component in the feeder set up
