My company manufactures electronic modules for the automotive industry. We have a current product that the customer would like a "heavy duty" version of. The module will have to handle roughly twice as much power as the original. A couple of compo

Thanks for your responses, gentlemen. I'm really just looking at options, and frankly, being a novice at this stuff I'm looking for the info. required to make a semi educated decision. You, kind sirs, are my educators. And that probably scares m

We've got this hard-to-Wave-solder board where all of the SMD's are on a ground plane - in fact the entire bottom-side is a ground plane. Our designers have incorporated thermal relief on some of the pads, but for reasons unknown to us, they don't h

Doug, If you are looking to reduce the size of your database you have many options. You can use the Jedec outline or Jedec name to standardize your component library. Otherwise you can set one up specific to the dimensional info you measure. If you

Trying to place PTH components with an SMT machine is possible but maybe not plausible. Would you have to buy specialized tools and equipment for the job ( gripper nozzles ). Are the machines you have capable. i.e.. Would you need camera modification

John, We regularly wave solder electroless silver finished boards (Alpha Level)with mixed SMD and through hole parts and do not have any problems. We have changed a number on PCB's from HASL to electroless silver, mainly for the benefits at SMD whe

Apparently the adhesive tape peels off from the joint, which could have some reasons. 1. There should be an overlap of the cover tape, as Cal mentioned. The new cover tape laying over the old by approx. 2mm. I also peel the cover tape a bit off, whi

Nick, In siemens terms: Fuji has the ability to check "ink spot" which I assume is what you are doing now. The only difference is the vision capabilities between the two machines. You do not have the freedom of siemens type gray scale with Fuji. Yo
