Craig, If you have a Juki KE-750/760, or the newer KE-2000s, it will support 8 characters for the designator. The older models only support 5 characters. If you have a KE-750 and/or a KE-760 and you can only enter 5 chars, then call you local Juki

Hello All, I need some help here. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get SMT component design requirements? What I'm looking for specifically is how the component leads would come off the components to make contact with the SMT pad

Converting BGA to PGA. Yes!!! Wouldn't want progess in packaging design to slow us down, would we? [Haaaaa. Just kidding. Probably has something to do with legacy designs; form, fit and function; and all that stuff.] Tacky flux only, like a rew

Greetings, Does anybody out there have any experience with 0306 capacitors (not 0603). I am trying to find a pad design for this component. I have searched the archives to no avail. The component is .06 long by .03 wide with .007" solder terminat

I am not sure what parts you are inserting, i.e. radial, axial. The first thing I would do is to make sure the design can be automated. There are design guidelines from Universal and others that are good in determining if the parts can be placed and

Sorry. I mistyped information on the guidelines. It should be: SM-785 - Guidelines For Accelerated Reliability Testing Of SM Solder Attachments Order SM-785 from: IPC 2215 Sanders Rd Northbrook, IL 60062-6135 847-509-9700 When you are ordering t

Brad, This is a common problem and may relate to the design of the board. In all cases when a device such as a capacitor is place near the edge of the board and the board must be de-panelled, the capacitor must be parallel to the break line. If the

First off, get them designed out. I had this problem once and filled them with SMD adhesive and cured prior to printing. We were careful to be sure the solder lands were clean of any adhesive prior to curing. It worked out very well and we did this p

Hi, The guys here have some boards that have been reworked however as we use no-clean paste we are getting the white residue after ultrasonic cleaning. We are using an alcohol based cleaner in the ultra sonic cleaner. Does anyone have any ideas, or

Does anyone know of any free software that would allow an inspector to look for a reference designator on a densely-populated PCB? The software would need to accept a CAD pick'n'place file as input, and highlight the part when the inspector enters t
