OK, this is easy. You say HIGH fall out, so I can assume 25 or 50%? If so, run 10 without the heat gun and 10 with. This should show you if the heat gun process is the cause or not. If the relay is a surface mount, hand solder them on. If it's a

Hi, One think we always hated when running MYDATA was the vib feeder, and we had no end of problems. The supplier told us most people angled the component tubes up, however then the vib settings change between when the tubes full, and mostly empty.

I have Immersion Ag and Immersion Sn LF boards that were waved using SAC305 alloy. I have a lot of tears/shrink voids in the waved connections. I am aware that SAC305 in wave has a propensity of shrink tears/voids due to the non eutectic property of

Hi All, The change over to lead-free is as easy or as difficult as you want to make it The big problem I see with this lead-free transition is that there is no benchmark of acceptability and no defect data (yet) related to visual appearance of a sol

I have a less than perfectly designed pcb requiring double sided lead free reflow. Several components from either side will detatch using the standard process. If I was using Sn63Pb37 I would just dispense some adhesive after paste and cure at the r
