Not to quibble, but I have been a Juki user for over 12 years and starting with the Juki machines 750/760 and all machines since support 8 characters for reference designators. We are even looking to upgrade later next year and they have already con

We have used the Cogiscan system successfully here for 3 years or so now I think its been. I couldn't possibly imagine tracking MSL's on a lot of parts by hand... and being able to trust your numbers. This software will track everything for you and a

When considering MSD issues two factors really need to be focused on; first, environmental control of the individual subject component/s during storage and second, monitoring of the packages out of the controlled environment. It's important that eac

We have experienced contamination under flat chip arrays. The lab report is still open but it appears to be dendrite growth. We have been trouble-shooting our process and cleaning equipment. My question is are there any specific design or best p

Hi, We had a electric failure on a printed wired board after a few hours of functionning. We determined that the failure was caused by a open circuit in the PCB internal layer near to a via. We performed a microsection but unfortunately, it seemes t

I have had a similar problem as this. But, not on that particular type of component. Have your machine place the component, take the PCB over to a microscope and look at the part how it sit's on and in the paste on the pads. You might see that one

We've gone through this a couple times. Once it was because the device was warping in reflow. We confirmed with shadow moire that the corners were lifting up. The supplier fixed some things in their molding process to reduce the warpage. Another

Hi Sean, It's an old problem with no definitive cure for now. However, there are a couple of things to look for. First of all the location(s) of HoP. If it was due to the componetn warpage, then it would be most probably in the middle and it should

Thick, hard conformal coatings of acrylic, urethane and epoxy have a well documented history of causing solder joint cracks and breaking glass/ceramic and other brittle components. Dissimilar expansion and fairly high surface bond strengths of the ma
