Yageo announced their decision to stop marking SMD resistors back in 2013, and since then we have started to see 0603's that aren't marked, but larger sizes - so far - are still showing a value. 0402's have never been marked, and I doubt they ever w

I think you needed an IPC Class 3 annular ring because for very dense designs, the smaller the annular ring the better, as less space is taken by the pad or via and more space can be dedicated to routing the traces in highly populated areas of the bo

we are turning on the printer, suddenly the printer is off after checking there is solderball on pad capacitor component 0603 our question is what can a solderball stuck on one pad can when melting and causing shortsolder (being connected with other

Not sure you will find what you are looking for. Everyone is talking about converting the program but I think they are just talking about the x-y information. The problem is in the part/package data. Different Machines require different information,

Hi, You have 2 options: 1. You can pay for a software solutions but it can't do 100% work. You will complete manually a conversion (between 5%-50% based on a complex of your board, type of component and other problems). 2. Do it by your self using E

Here are the basics for theta issues in teaching: 1. CAD part library should match machine part library orientation. 2. If your placement orientation is correct and your feeding orientation(orientation in your feeder) is correct, there should be no

Yea, I always liked to program the way it physically sits in the feeder then rotate as needed in placement. Make sure rotation in feeder is 0 as well or you'll really get confused. Some machine mfg's recommend otherwise but it never made sense to m

My response could be seen as "trolling", if so I apologize. I don't normally respond sarcastically (to posts), but it seems like posters sometimes want answers handed to them instead of doing a little research online beforehand to gather knowledge. I

Here is a link to a reflow profile: http://www.aimsolder.com/sites/default/files/reflow_profile_supplement_-_lead-free_solder_paste.pdf Speaking specifically about solder reflow, the process window should be based on the solder paste you are using.

You find good information in IPC-4554 that includes recommended total Sn thickness and recommended free Sn. It refers to how much usable Sn is needed to meet coating durability categories defined in J-STD-003. As example, if you need 6 months shelf l
