If you do not want to buy a new feeder there should only be 2-3 parts you need to change on your CP-4 feeder to make it an 0802. the only difference between the 0804 and the 0802 are the Link, the sprocket, and the stopper. Everything else is exact

I agree, the level of Pd plays a role here. Knowing that some versions were probably OK we tried to develop a soldering test for PdAg components with pass/fail criteria, but decided it wasn't worth the engineering effort for a finish that's so rarel

AJ, You can use 0402 feeders to place the 0201 parts. I would suggest getting the feeders you are going to use calibrated before trying to run the parts. Also, another good idea is to get some 0.4mm tape leaf covers for the feeders. They will h

Hi, We have had a few vendors push automatic solder paste inspection devices on us in the past, and I have resisted until now. However we have a new product with a micro BGA on it, and I am worried about yield, so am considering it seriously for th

We use a program called Circuitcam by Aegis. It allows you to import all types of Cad and associate the parts to the different processes. Ex. SMT, Radial, Inspection, Hand Insert. (Customizable depending on your process) Once this is complete it

Don't waste your time or your repair technicians time on 100 PCBA's. Order the correct part size for the pads and return the old part. There shouldn't be much of a cost difference. This will save you a massive amount of time on rework not to menti

On our machine we have found that some IC's require a different light for inspection based on the manufacturer. Have you tried other lighting options? You may need to talk to the AOI manufacturer to see if there is something the machine may be able

Thanks for the insight. Most boards we are seeing problems with are 1.60mm thick (some less) and most of them are panelized. For your support pins what do you use to show operators where the pins should be setup? I have heard of using Plexiglas to m

Where I am now we have Mydatas. We aren't quite changeing over as fast as we did where they have Panasonics. But there was an OEM with one set of part numbers and here is a contract manufacturer with several part numbers systems. What makes a bigg

basically your problems come from the copper balance top and bottom side we are using substrate down to 0.18mm (semiconductor industry/ Bga package / SIp business) you have to respect 5% difference maximum between Top and bottom side otherwise you
