Thanks again for your insights. I'm just learning the details of these machines so you'ill have to bear with me. The descision will be made in around 6 months so I thought I would start my research sooner rather than later. I did get the impression

Hi All: Thanks for the feedback. I've did a lot of surfing for more info and found there are pro's and con's to each side. One side with the customer P/N your customer service doesn't have to worry if the others bump their builds ahead of your an

When we first got into BGAs on ENIG we were getting joint cracking at in-circuit test. The joints were breaking in the Sn-Ni intermetallic. We did a lot of pull testing while working with our board suppliers and our conclusion was that pull testing

If I remember correctly since I cannot find my copy of IPC 600, I believe that the 20% reduction applies to "defects" and not the total etch process. By the way what is being used to measure down to .0005"? For this measurement to be correct it wou

Hi, Yes, all you really need to do is boil the fluid while suspending the PCB above the vapor, so it's quite easy. However I would recommend against dropping the board direct into the vapor cloud, as that would be a very fast warm up, while letting

Thanks, That's the direction i'm headed. After by passing relay altogeather, testing large caps for the driver supply, replacing bridge rectifiers, and the MOV's, that's about all im left with. The vacuum motor will run with the software toggle witho
