What is your thinking on the issues surrounding design and manufacture with leadless leadframe [eg, land grid array, micropak] components beyond those in http://www.national.com/ads-cgi/viewer.pl/an/AN/AN-1187.pdf? The curve ball that we just looked

I'm sorry, I can�t image on your words. A couple of years ago, we had a rash of DOA shipments to a customer. We thought someone could be drop-kicking the packaged product down the stairs. So, we shipped with BIG red labels and impact indicators on

A) Questions: 1) What sort of pallet materials used? 2) what PCB thickness & LxW size? 3) what stencil type & thickness used? 4) what profile type used (peak deg-C)? 5) any peak Deg-C contraints for the components SMT onto the PCB? B) We use pallet

The method you suggest is about the only way to �clean-up� this terrible situation. Realistically, this is a "memory" type condition induced by design, build symmetry, "cross ply construction", excessive cool down rates during lamination or reflow a

Most solder paste manufacturers will take a reasonable amount of paste back, just so they won't loose your business due to bad paste. But if you're asking to ask to ask - separated paste from flux is not a bad thing if the jar was never opened. Pas

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the response. We had a similar situation to yours with some white tin samples that sat around for about eight months. Samples soldered right after they arrived soldered better than the ones we soldered eight months down the

When doing PIH processes, it is critical that you control the solder VOLUME, not the height. You must define the process, monitor it and control chart it to keep the paste volume consistent. You have do some careful engineering to determine how muc

Having a big problem waving these puppies, hope someone can help. I've got an 8 pin mini-din connector (like a PS/2 connector with two more pins) that has two mounting pins on each side. During wave, at least half the lot has shorts from the ground p
