Hi all, I would like to hear from more experienced selective wave pallet users out there. If you do not use a selective wave pallet does this not leave the possibility of solder flowing up thru the Via's on the board. I have identified this as been

Although I can't say I've had much trouble at all with MpM's reading fids, I will say that most of the P&P equipment I have run can be picky on fids. The fid surface needs to be pretty flat in order to be trouble free on some P&P equipment. I don't

Just wondering what others are doing as far MSD parts. We keep most of our parts in the dry cabinet before use. Most bags are openend and have passed the recomendation as far as mounting within a certain time. We have had defects with boards that

GS I am not a lawyer and the European directive has a lot of grey areas. But if you look at 1.2 in the link I send you it states that when an appliance can still function when the electrical current is off this type of equipment is not covered by di

You wrote "The directive does not state anything about generating electricity"; actually it does do exactly that: Equipment, "which is dependent on electric current or electromagnetic fields in order to work properly, and equipment for the GENERATIO

From technical point of view: it should not be a problem to mix Pb with Pb Free components soldered with a LF solder process. You have to take care about the max temperature allowed on your Pb components and make sure they can withstand the higher
