It's interesting that your company was willing to buy enough machines to complete 4 lines, but isn't willing to buy enough parts for them to operate. That sort of reduces your 2-4 lines to a role of emergency spares locations, doesn't it? We experie

Hi Grant, Murata do 0402 chip caps on 50K reels - example: GRM1555C1H101JZ01J 0402, 100pf, NPO/C0G 50V 5% (make sure the final letter is included - the J denotes the reel size - D is standard 10K) Rohm MCR01 series (0402 resistors) come on 6inch, 1

I have been through this before. At a med. device company they required every device that performed a measurement to be calibrated. O-scopes, calipers, 6-inch steel rules, etc. And thermocouples. While I can't see what difference it makes to the pr

Pavel Point: You suspect that solder paste can easily get to solder mask causing beading, because the aperture is larger than the component pad. Comment: Probably, this is incorrect. We overprint on solder mask all day long when doing paste-in-hol

There is no standard, nor should there be [because the IPC standards should be aimed at describing results, not the path used to reach the results]. So, your printer equipment supplier recommendations are a good starting point. Your "35-46 lbs-in"

I just flew in from (insert city) and boy are my arms tired. pr: Likely, you're correct. The "pound-inch" units should have been the give-away, for us. Good catch. If this is the case, the frame fabricator would be the best source for tensioning

I agree with Russ. The problem is your thermal isolation is so small 1/16 inch. Also, most ovens measure temperaure in the plenum. You don't solder in the plenum. Therefore, you have a intermidiate "zone" temp. mixing between the top and bottom

Hi Pat, Not going to change, but has changed. We were first notified about a potential change 2 years ago, but as we're such a volume user we could turn around and say no thanks. However as every one else has now changed over on commodity parts &

Hi, We have a 5 zone oven and we use a RTS Profile. Our last zone is the zone that the reflow takes place. some basic analysis is as follows: TAL 70 secs, peak temp 210,ramp rate seems fine. A typical setting is : Z1 140 Z2 160 Z3 160 Z4 185 Z5 220

Hi Grant, Boy, how do I say this - I might have to agree with Wave Master Larry. (Yeah, yeah - I know; Davef and Dr. Shocker will "burn me" again) "We" also solder large thru-hole connectors on with a selective solder machine. They measure 4 by 8
