Resistance: Tables of wire gauge often provide a resistance measure of some kind for each gauge. That way we can estimate the resistance of any length of wire we might be interested in. Calculating trace resistance is only slightly more complicated.

We would like to gauge or precentage of production line failures to industry standard AQL level. What would be an acceptale AQL level for assembled pcb's or finished units leaving the factory?

I am finding that some of our IC's are coming from the supplier with the humidity gauge in the bag reading 10-20%. Has anybody done any tests to determine what humidty level in a package will cause problems during reflow?

oooff... be careful of punch dies. They leave a lot of debris and can stress components on the PCB. If you're using them, be sure to verify stress levels with a strain gauge test. Semi-fractured components can pass test, yet eventually cause latency

I built one using an old Asymtek Automove. When all was said and done, it cost less than $400, including what was paid for the machine itself. It's a very basic setup, (air over syringe), but for our needs it does everything and more. With air to syr

We are also using Vapor phase for our process. We currently have 6 profiles that we have established. 3 for Leaded and 3 for Leadfree. We have set-up our profiles depending on the mass of the board. We do have some tombstoning depending on several va

I was wondering how hard it would be to make a homebrew vapour phase oven, to avoid the problems with very cheap conventional batch ovens, in particular uniformity. I've seen a reference here to a pasta cooker VP setup, but the image link is dead no

First, I suggest that people search the SMTnet Archives in just about every response that I make. Second, you need to work on your DOE jargon * Factors. Independent or input variables * Effects. Results. Dependent or output variables. Third, the
