I have found that reducing the amount of metal in the joint makes a difference, we have reduced the aperture sizes to provide a minimal amount of paste. just enough to hold the part during handling. You may also want to try and slow the initial ram

Hi wolfgang, I think Pc is not talking about the tombstone cause this terminal lifted is different from tombstone. The terminal of chip is still there but can not be solder anymore so we have to replace the chip. I also facing this problem. So can yo

I am looking for information comparing the reliability of smt boards vs thru hole boards. Also, information on when to use thru hole instead of smt if there is such a case. Background - We currently make temperature controller with a mix or smt and

Same problem for me. I'm a registered user, but when I fill out the "login" box, I get back to the main page as nothing had happened. And of course, not even the link to the e-mail section. I had problems like that in the past, due to not accepting c

O.K., folks, I know this is a loaded question, but I've been asked to find the answer, sooooo: What is an acceptable defect rate in ppm for a surface mount process, assuming that each component has the potential for one defect. This would include de

It makes a difference what the normalizer is. We calculate solder ppm and placement ppm separately for each assembly. Solder ppm = #solder defects*1E6/(Qty boards*#solder joints per board). For us this number is easily less than 50 and sometimes

I have reduced solder balling by up to 60 percent by changing the placement height on chip parts. Essentially account for the 6 mills of "Z" height to reduce the "squeezing" effects of the chip impacting the solder bricks. Cheap and easy, especial

To any users of Camalot Adhesive Dispensers... Do any of you know where I could get hold of the spring loaded magnetic board supports used on, for example, the 3800 machine. Camalot's representatives here in the UK, Speedline, are asking a ridiculou
