Yes, of course, considering your manufacturer knows how to design and has a very good design team. Additionally, your manufacturer must have years of expertise to design complex circuit boards. Few manufacturers offer design to assembly services. All

Did you solve this issue? It doesn't much look like the flux dried out, ti should be across whole board and has much more same defect if flux dried out. Did you have failure ratio data to show the defect location, for example 10% at location A on bo

Our company has a spec on their current PCB dwg to make sure the fab house meets a specific thickness (min-max). The current spec reads: 13.5um min - 38.5um max. I assume it is to keep the board house honest and to make sure there is no exposed co

Can any one tell me what I would need to replace this yellow disc. I have another board that this part has burned up, and I need to find a replacement. The manufacturer is Buss, however I cannot find any information with the numbers printed on it. Th

Assuming you've already looked at optimizing your profile and stencil design, have you looked at metal load in the paste? I hadn't, but just read that increased metal load (associated with reduced powder size, i.e., moving from T3 to T4) has been sh

Hello all. We recently purchased a DEK Hroizon to replace our aging 265 machine. The 265 had an auto-loading stencil setting known as a "Distance To Image" where it would place the stencil directly over the board. The Horizon 2 has no such feature.

I see what the issue is now. A previous owner has removed the slider from the machine. I can see where it was mounted (bare metal where it was originally mounted as opposed to the black paint/powder coat). Is this slider available to purchase to re

To clarify a bit, I'm looking for opinions in regards to automated routing, both tab and scored. If we end up doing a majority of our layouts scored then we'll go with an automated saw for that. That's the question though, has anyone used one of th

Solder paste has stencil life time - if you go over it means you should change it. If you print boards in front and keep them for too long before reflow, the flux is still evaporating, so you are not mitigating the risk. Paste also likes room tempera
