| | |Hi all | | This Debate on lead free soldering is really hotting up here in Europe. From 2004 the use of lead in components and assemblies will be banned here. Also flame retardent halogens will be banned(FR4 etc). While we all agree that we hav

I'm afraid we don't agree regarding the best test method to use here. My understanding is as follows. The omegameter test measures board-level, ionic contamination (i.e., average for the entire board area and all components); it does not tell you w

Hi Chris! I hope this will help you! The CBGA uses an array of high melting point solder spheres(Sn10/Pb90) to connect its ceramic chip carrier to an epoxy glass (FR4) PCB using eutectic (Sn63/Pb37) solder joints at both ceramic and card inter

charles, i can appreciate the hand held "reel to reel" scanner as a good solution that is very cost effective. during my smt supervision days we had a number of part loading checks. 1. load plan check, 2. scan check, 3. reel to reel manual check.

Hey Bud: Thanks for the response the other day. We currently use "Jeff�s Method #2: The Drummel Tool." Short answer to your brother is ... yes, probably. Expanding a bit: � It would be surprising not to use a flux to help reflow the solder balls

Jeremy: Parts assembler make leads of either Alloy 42 (Invar, whatever) or copper. The solderability of these leads are protected with eutectic or non-eutectic tin/lead solder, palladium or some palladium alloy, or gold. Cuppla things to consider:

CIM systems for electronics assembly have traditionally considered the PCB only. Final assembly "modules" are often attached to traditional systems to accommodate this common requirement for pre-PCB assembly, mechanical assembly, and final assembly
