Hello Billy, We have 6 machines tied to a server. I can see where this would be a problem. Basically, the answer is you would need a package for every significantly different package that you are placing. I don't think you can just say 3 0805 packag

Everybody who uses basic "part-type" naming conventions for machine package codes will have this same issue unless restrictions are placed on who, how, and when the package codes can be altered. Some alternative methods to solving this problem: 1. U

Hi, I've had some trouble with one of my GSM cameras. Its a 1 mil camera (in circular housing). Some components have fallen down the gap between the glass cover and the LED array closest to the rails. One of the resistors (closest to the left) has b

Agree!! Where is Your thermocouple-probes attacded and can we get the info from this? Delta-T of the comp. is very, very important! The single most important smt-process step is the profiling/recipy and as a result of this, this poor package will cor

First, we assume the white residue is only on the connector and not on other components. That would imply that either: * White stuff was on the connector when it came in-house from your supplier. [Confirm this theory by baking some connectors from

John, As Dave says, never clean raw paste. Let it sit for at least 24 hrs if you can and use a plastic spatula to wipe off the bulk of it. The "drier" the paste the easier it is to remove without it travelling down vias etc. You will then have to cho

Thanks guys! Very helpfull info. SWAG, the manufacturer states that this material can withstand up to 350 Celsius for a short time period (around 10-20 seconds). It is my understanding that Durostone absorbs heat very very slowly like ceramic thus

A little more detail on our application: It is a large fixture (approx. 15" x 18") that spans the chain fingers in the reflow. It has several cut-outs and reductions in thickness to allow for better heat distribution. It worked well/stayed flat fo

I'm looking for some information on soldering irons being used in my no-lead process. Specifically, my floor seem to be burning out tips at an alarming rate, when soldering lead-free assemblies. Today, I had one woman burn out a brand new tip in 4

The process that burnt the tips up yesterday was hand soldering/touch up of lead-free assemblies. Not even assembly, but just touching up boards that we've soldered on a solder pot...which will lead to another question. We're using SAC 305 WS482 3
