I would appreciate any and all input on selection of ICT/ATE equipment. I'm a CM supplying various PCA's, none of which are designed with test points. I am looking for a robust, user friendly, low cost, low maintence that can be easily adapted for ea

Last I heard the Mydata MY500 jet printer was in the $275k-$325k range. If it does all they claim, I would love to have one. However, we only buy 45-50 screens each year and have only a small amount of rework due to paste errors that the MY500 woul

How do you measure how pregnant a woman is? A component is ROHS compliant or it is not. If a component is not compliant and is put into an otherwise compliant assembly then that assembly is no longer compliant. I doubt anyone on here does any calcula

I'm not sure what kind of marginal joint you're trying to identify, but when we went through a serious ball-in-cup problem a few years ago we tried hot & cold functional test as well as a day or two of -40/+125C thermal cycling and all were pretty po

As unlikely that this may be, if the RF circuit is sensitive enough, and the minor change in alloy is the only thing that changed, this MAY be the cause. The circuit was probably tuned to Sn63/Pb37. The reason I'm not surprised? I once had a custo

I am currently looking at selective solder machines. The two that i have looked at are the KIss 104 and the APS Novastar SP A400. Both machines are in the price range i need to be in. There are very different from each other as far as how they do the

We're not real clear about what you're trying to discuss, because most capacitors are packaged in epoxy with a solderable termination on each end. But lets throw a couple of ideas at the wall and see what sticks. If this epoxy is: * From the capaci

Alot of that depends on your designs as well. Poor designs with lots of DFM violations WILL require a full-time tech./engineer, whereas with good designs, a conscientious operator (who regularly cleans the nozzles) should be good enough. As Chunks
