If you have a component with a height issue and want to lay is down (capacitor in this case), what are the best methods to consider? RTV, epoxy or something else?

I would assume we are talking about a radial leaded electrolytic cap? We use Electronic grade RTV (Dow corning 3145). It sticks good and can be removed if necessary. It is also pliable so you don't have to worry about CTE or other stresses that may

We need more information to give you a good answer. Is this a leaded part (axial or radial) or smt? How big is the part, how much weight per lead? What is the end use environment, will it see any vibration? or temperature extremes? Some general com

we have a problem : The connector is falling down in the second reflow. This connector is mounted in the first side. You can find attached the reflow profil we work with and a photo of the connector. We tryed with under_film but the connector is sti

Traditionally these connectors are riveted to the board on higher volume telecommunication applications. sarason

We are a contract manufacturer currently building a job with IBM CBGA-255 devices and 20mil QFP's that are close to each other. We use a 6 mil laser cut and electro polished stencil with one to one apertures on the BGA's. The customer is experiencing

Ron, if I am reading this correctly the 20mil parts are not having problems on a 6mil stencil. If you increase the entire thickness of the stencil to 8mils, there should not be any issues with the 20mil components. The supports you are using could p

Ron: You're really talking about a step-up stencil in the area of the BGA. I don't think your problem is a lack of solder, but who know? I think you should do some sections on returned boards from your customer to help determine the source of the

If all else fails, you can always chipbond the part. Would it be possible to run this side as the second reflow?

If you have control of the solder alloy you're able to use on the product, you could run a lower temp solder on the second side and try to avoid the first side entering reflow.
