Good morning, We are presently using a couple surface mount parts on our circuit boards. We send the boards out of house to have the SMD parts placed. I have been told that the apertures for the stencil for each SMD are not to be 1:1 with

First the obligatory, I apologize for straying close to the edge of commercialism, but this seems to be too good a deal and IMHO is worth posting. I stand ready for the slings and arrows [what ever that means], erzit gettin' flamed that's the net eq

When it comes to how much epoxy [aka. "glue"] to dispense to hold a IC or any part with significant mass, on the bottom of a board for wave soldering, is more better? The way I see it, one good dot should be holding such a part on the PCB. If not, th

ernman - From your question.........All the top PNP companies are good.....with that aside what is the requirements? High mix/low vol? Flexibility? High through put? Big Boards? Change over?Low mix/ high Vol.? This will help with ruling out companie

Try: * Poor looking solder connections * Good looking solder connections * Reliable solder connections Look to Ch 5 of "Manufacturing Techniques For Surface Mounted Assemblies"; RJ Klein Wassink & MMF Verguld; Electrochemical Pub; ISBN 0-901150-30-4

I don't care about any of that stuff!!! I like it when people can read "technical [shop] English" [Actually, reading any English is good, for that matter]. It's a real bonus when they can think clearly enough to solve day-to-day problems. Coming t

Yes, your pallet will absorb / steal heat. It sounds like you are doing a good job in understanding the issues. Yes, the pallet could be the problem. Is this a new run that you are starting? Or has everything been OK, but recently you've begun to

I know that there is no pre-defined strength for the solder joint as it will depend on solder volume deposited, pad geometry, lead component's lead solderability etc. but, what would be the best ball park for the good joint for 0402, 0603, 20 mil pti

Yes, Pb Free is coming soon... I am studying both Sn/Pb and Pb Free solders. Obviously the profiles will be much different for both pastes. Not to mention that one of my 0201 resistor vendors is switchng to Pb Free terminations in the near future!

Fluxes that have been properly heat activated are insulative (non-reactive) during operation in the field and during environmental testing. If you are also performing a cleaning operation, the possibility of growing dendrites is so remote that it can
