I have noticed when I call the MPM parts hotline I get Ken at MPM (Franklin). Also, my friend who has worked at mpm for over 10 years mentioned that Camelot has beem moved into the Franklin facility with MPM. There was a large debt load on that tra

It sounds to me like Electrovert is a thing of the past. They were bought by a financial clearing house company and were sold because they have been losing money consistently. The new Speedline owners have moved all of their operations to the East

hi, NEMI recommends separate solders for reflow sodlering and wave soldering. Reflow soldering- Sn-3.9Ag-0.7Cu Wave sodlering- Sn-0.7CU Wavesoldering- Sn-0.7Ag What will happen if a mixed technolgy PCb board containing both through hole and surface

I'm using a CIM software (http://www.aiscorp.com/products_npi_circuitcam.htm) to import gerber files and produce pick&place programs and paper/paperless documentation. It's very friendly, useful and fast, but not cheap. I don't know any other softwa

Depending on quantities etc, you probably have a few options. If it's the automated route you require then any of the radial insertion machines from UIC or TDK will do the job. We've inserted LED's in the past with machines over 10 years old, so if

Hi, there is also a German company making odd-shaped component insertion equipment, actually very very suitable for LED placement and soldering in the same process cycle. LED's are held in position until soldering is complete, straight and in the s

Folks, has anyone heard fo any problems with RF cards related to solder paste selection. Currently runnign with std SnPb paste but want to move to 2% silver paste. Was asked if this could cause any issues in term's of RF capability or interferance t

2% should have no effect [recognizing that some RF deign implementations are squirrellyand they don't count]. We still use 2% dating back to the old days when the gray beards [at that time] felt that the silver improved skin effect [a tendency for a
