Hi, We have a SMT production like, however we have very little experience with through hole assembly. We design everything to be completly SMT based, however connectors are the only part of our product that still requires through hole assembly. Cur

What does acrinym---BNY mean? can't you use Paste In Hole process,if the pitch is large enough?You can find imformation about PIH everywhere. we have tried PIH,selective soldering,wave soldering,and found that wave soldering get the best solder joint

It sounds as if the boards are designed in-house. Is this correct? If so, look for SMT versions of the BNC connector. I hhave used one from Johnson Components (http://www.johnsoncomponents.com) or look through http://coaxicom.com for something yo

Hi, As many must be aware a number of component manufactuers maybe shipping lead-free parts without part number changes. without knowing the datecode tracked on each component it would be difficult to trace components whether they are lead-free or

I've never heard of steaming a board either. You said that steaming cleans it better after the wash process. What is the steaming process cleaning that the washer isn't, flux residue, solder balls, or what? Also, try and identify the main difference

Hi, This is a question for those of you who actually assemble components onto a board. Any idea what the "industry standard" is for the necessary First Time Pass Rate of products I should aim to? On pre-tested assemblies, should you expect to find

Hi Phil, There isn't one answer to your question. When dealing with really difficult assemblies that are pushing the process 50% might be considered OK. When dealing with run of the mill I personally would shoot for 98% or far better with a fast up
