We considered direct marking already John. It's not very practical for us to do that. We need to put labels on components as well as boards. A laser or inkjet would cause us to have to change too many things in our processes. We'd still need to do la

I am researching a process call Collumn Grid Array for the BGA. Please email me if you have some knowledge about this process. The problem is ceramic BGA has different thermal coefficient with PCB (FR-4) material, and in extreme temperature (-40 C-

The CCGA package is difficult to handle and automate in the assembly process. The leads can be fragile, and vision recognition of the package and leads is difficult. Special lighting and/or a special vision algorithm will probably be needed if you wa

That should not happen. There are some threads concerning BGA and wavesoldering you could look for. It�s said that you should protect the vias in the BGA-area by soldermask or at least with tented vias to prevent rereflow of BGAs solderjoints what co

Nancy, Cliff, There are pros and cons. Some of the longer threads take an age and a day to download when the server is busy, if everything is intact since the birth of Adam. Personally, I prefer it as is because I'm damn lazy and hate scrolling down

Brian & Nancy, Yes, our goal is to have the option of displaying the whole thread in one page while still leaving the current option available. Displaying all of the messages in a thread really doesn't work well with the old messages because they c
