Last time we looked at this, JEDEC carefully designated the dimensions of the carriers, but "neglected" to define the component orientation with the carrier. Go to http://www.jedec.org/download/, search for JEP95 JEDEC REGISTERED AND STANDARD OUTL

Try calling Quad, I know that they were in development of a feeder designed specifically for 0402. The problem has always been the pick of such a small part, but the placement is very reliable. By way, have you heard that Quad is being purchased by

Steve, I did this several years ago on a terribly designed board that left a lot of joints unsoldered after the wave. It works OK. This was a bog Irish board with nothing fancier than SOP packages. Glue was Amicon D125. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyo

SCREENING... 1. Is type 4 paste necessarily required? [No, not unless you are using it for some other purpose.] 2. Is No-Clean Ok to use? [YES] 3. How thin stencil is required? 5 mils? [5 is OK, but I wouldn�t base the decision on the 0201. 6 mil is

Mydata machines are great for large back planes close to 23" wide. The foot print of the Mydata machines are concerning- being a "T" design it sacrifices floor space. Also, Mydata is not considered to be in the same classification (my opinion) of equ

Thank you. I never said that Sipad, Precision Pad, Optipad, and SSD were not available in the US. Are you saying that these products were not developed in Euroland? Please provide links to papers describing the reliability, cost, list of multiple
