One of our PCB for high reliability application is having 2 BGAs(11X11, ADV 204), The pitch is 1 mm. We decided to wire the BGAs first using re-flow soldering and the rest of the components by hand soldering. Since the PCBs are for high reliability a

Those are nozzle attaching and removing errors, meaning the machine is having a hard time picking up and leaving nozzles. In the head there should be a rubber o-ring, it often needs to be either cleaned and oiled (Juki has a specific oil, make sure

Hey everyone, Our company just picked up a Quad IV C/115 pick-&-place system from one of our offices that closed, but we do not have the documentation for it. It looks to be a very old system so I can't find it anywhere online and we just don't know

We have not completed this Cert. But the last time the requirement came up, investigation and simple math told us that the cost up front, plus maintenance of the Cert was far more than the revenue the job would have brought us, with only one Custome

I always look for a toe fillet if the design allows you to. Many times the pad design is close or exactly the size of the leads which makes people to touch it up right away. I told them hundred times not to but...Luckily I have 3D x-ray and I can tel
