Wanted to get this out there to get a feel for what everyone is doing with their paste after they crack the original seal. The life clock obviously doesn't stop once its opened and at room temp so one cannot solely go by stencil life alone....I imagi

I don't know if it's the best or proper way. We have a seperate jar that the paste that comes off the stencil goes into. All used paste( of the same manf.) goes in this jar and back into the refrigerator. The remainder of the new jar goes in the frid

Tented vias have solved problems for me in the past, but never created any. I have heard seemingly pointless discussions about whether or not the EE that designed the board designed it with filled vias in mind (a consideration of current carrying c

Rather than having the artwork cover the via as with tenting dry film, and letting the mask do what it will, the preferred way is to do a second op silk screen with something like SR1000 just in the vias themselves to plug them. This doesn't always

AJ, You can use 0402 feeders to place the 0201 parts. I would suggest getting the feeders you are going to use calibrated before trying to run the parts. Also, another good idea is to get some 0.4mm tape leaf covers for the feeders. They will h

Well I've heard you must get the 0201, 0.4mm tape feeder to place an 0201 component as the 0402 feeder won't do it. They ain't cheap @ $1,000 each from Fuji roughly. Also you will need to get 0.4mm nozzles on your machine. Have you actually done thi

Logan- That's good to know as I've wondered what makes the 0201 feeder from Fuji so different $$$ from an 0402 feeder? In that they are both 8 x 2mm feeders is it simply a different tape leaf that is the difference? And is the high price compared to

0201 Feeders are a different height than regular 8X2's I have put them on a surface plate and measured them with a height gauge. FYI: They make 0201C (Capacitor) and 0201R (Resistor)Again the difference between the two is height. Also it is CRITI

I have been searching for a compatible high temp chain oil other than Tribol 1421/SG due to cost cutting, which is what electrovert is recommending. I was wondering if anybody can tell me beside Tribol 1421/SG. What other brand out there that is come
