Sounds like your running older equipment earlier than the latest C (oops "Q") series machines. If you are, the older Quad machines only vacuum verify at pick, not during transit to the placement location. Make sure that your vacuum setting is correc

Hello, We are currently trying to design and ultimately implement a system that will be able to count and manage component placement for three Sanyo chipshooters on three SMT lines. As the number of components decreases in the reels we want to be ab

| Is there anyone who can tell me what is the maximum allowable soldering temperature when soldering a TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Pack) device in a reflow oven? We recently used a CY7C375i in a TQFP160 package and we experienced warping (bending) of this c

Placing a component the correct side up: * May affect heat dissipation. [Umm, that sounds like stretch, but who knows what designers think about?] * Allows reading the markings on those components that have markings, however cryptic the notation of

Via in pad is the most efficient use of space. Blind via seems to be blamed for this. Cross-sections (send me some) will probably show a void still existing in the via or spherical voids aligned near the component pad side. One can estimate the vo

Hi Steve, It sounds like your product will have many moisture-sensitive devices on both sides. You should be aware of the additional controls that are required to insure the reliability of these components in a double-side reflow application. The
