Mark, If you find out anything please let me know. The only way we do it is by hand using a slotted spoon and dumping the lead and dross into a 3 gallon bucket and having it taken off site and recycled. It's a pain in the neck, and I don't like we

Jack - The last time I checked IBM was specifying a minimum of 4800 cubic mils of paste for each pad. This is required for acceptable reliability, not just to make the connection. There is no way you are getting that volume with a 5 mil stencil

I am looking for suggestions on " How to remove solder Balls". We have some designs and tools where nothing can be done economically except to remove the solder balls manually. We are using "Probe" picks to do that job. Anyone who can suggest a bet

Does anybody have any experience or knowledge of processing PCB assemblies featuring pyroelectric sensor devices, the type used in Passive Infra-Red Sensor modules? Since these devices are, by definition, very sensitive to heat, how do you get round

Assuming agressive design rules what is the minimum distance I can get away with between the board edge and a SMT pad and between the board edge and a plated mounting hole ??? (The board is only 1"x2" and the mounting holes are 80 mil dia, 125 mil

To restate my question of earlier, if I have a .020" sphere before reflow, and my pad opening in the dielectric is .017", is there a rule of thumb to calculate the height of the sphere after reflow? We are using 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag spheres. This should h

I have a customer wanting to hide the identity of a particular component on a PCB assembly. The product cannot be potted and since the PCB is the product he doesn't want to pour over that one chip for aesthetics reasons. Any ideas on ways to permanen

This technique is commonly known as "black boxing". The majority of IC's are marked with ink. Simply use a tiny piece of sandpaper to "scratch the surface" and render the device blank. This will work with Laser marked parts as well. If your volum
