Hi, I know both Ipulse and Mydata but I have no experience with Philips ass. I pulse is own by Yamaha and most design change to Yamaha but Yamaha retain the capability, so if you are looking for machine capability I would suggest for I pulse, On the

You could also try the ipclistserv "tech net". It is an email list and there are a lot of design engineers that maybe willing to lend you a hand. It kind of reeks to up but maybe worth the time. http://listserv.ipc.org/scripts/wa.exe?A1=ind0807

Never did find a fool proof solution. Solderability seemed O.K. (at least using the methods we have available in house). Tinned parts and placed by hand and saw little improvement. Pad design is slightly different than recommended but likely not i

Nozzles are really machine specific. Your best bet, if you're looking for the correct nozzle for a part, would probably be to send a strip of parts and the data sheet to the manufacture of the machine and ask them for their recommendation. Most machi

Residues from different no-clean fluxes produce different levels of variation in RF circuits. Some no-clean fluxes work fine. Following this, a no-clean flux can produce different levels of variation in RF circuits depending on the process setup.

Hi, Sounds like your engineer does not know what he's doing. We have developed and built hundreds of thousands of boards with normal square pads for 0402, and we just use a 5 thou stencil with 5% reduction and it works well. Decoupling? What is tha

I have a Product with 2 Different PCB Fiducial allocation in the Design. It has 4 Fine Pitch components. The first PCB DO NOT have Fiducial Mark on the board itself BUT has Fiducial on the Break-OFF Tabs. The second PCB has no Break-Off Tab but has f

Rather than tent the thermal vias, we use a small annular ring of soldermask around them and only print paste in the areas between the vias. Any way you go you're going to have voids under QFNs, so we just try to make it repeatable so our designers

I believe there is a lot pertinent information in the thread that Dave forwarded... But (IMHO)I think you can look at two things first. First, is your wave solder process friendly to this large PCB, is there enough pre-heat in the board before it h
