what methods are being used by folks in the industry for identifing LF ckt boards on the factory floor. I have a list of methods that an be used (like diff solder maks color, LF bar codes, LF logos and so on) but would appreicate your inputs on the s

We use at least an 8mil thick stencil for these parts. The Columns do not collapse or reflow so you need to ensure plenty of solder volume for reliable attach and to make up for the coplanarity of the component itself. I assume we are not really ta

I've recently been subjected to a procedure that requires the first 2 solder paste prints of a production run to be wiped down and not used for the build. This is to condition the stencil aperture walls? and insure good print deposition. Is this a

I've never heard of this before. If your solder paste is at the correct temperature, and your process is under control you should have an acceptable print the first time. This sounds like a terrible waste on time and paste. Set up a DOE to prove tha

Hi James, I have worked in many SMT sites and this is not an uncommon practice. It is true that print deposit consistency will improve after the first few prints as the aperture walls become lubricated, but with modern stencils/paste and a well-desig

Hi, I am experiencing cracked solder joints on ceramic resonators after the ultrasonic plastic weld process. PCB assy is placed into plastic housing and then housing halves are ultrasonic welded. Not a soldering problem. I know this component is

I am forced to use fine pitch parts in a new design. Board alignment in production has to be addressed. Fudicals, where to place, shape, size. I'm assuming they must be in the copper to represent the pad positions. Are they placement machine depe

we are encountering a problem on our production. after dipping a copper wire AWG#30 to a leadfree solder the wire becom thinner and easily to break. does the leadfree soler has the capability to weaken the wire (lessen the diameter)after dipping to l

Slaine, our intuition is the same as yours [that 100Sn should dissolve the copper faster than other solders]. Bob Gilbert's FCT data shows otherwise. Look here: http://www.fctassembly.com/newsltr/2004/0804/Aug04.htm
