We are using frameless stencils with a frame system tensioning in X- and Y-direction. After first quarrels with our stencilhouse about the correct position of the tensioning holes ( they needed 4 tries to get it right) there are no problems any more.

I'll have to go along with Wolfgang as having a good experiance with frameless. We have been using a system from IIT in California for about a year. I was sceptical at first because of this system's X only tensioning but it does work. We use mostl

Hi We use a U-channel piece of high temperature silicon which is just pushed over the gold tabs before the soldering process. The silicon can be used over and over again. The advantages are that there is no mask on the board during the SMT process a

We have a quad flatpack that is adhesively bonded to the face of the printed wiring board. We need to remove it from the board. The leads have been unsoldiered. We are thinking of placing a rectangular cavity on the end of a shaft over the QFP and

David: I'd suggest: 1. Cutting and not bother desoldering all leads (to save the pads). Trust me, desoldering is not as easy as some would lead you to believe!!! 2. Levering that puppy offa there with a screw driver and some "padding" to protect t

You need to have the right cutter for that and the necessary skill too. "Erem" a company from switzerland does have a very good cutter for that. I�ve seen cutting done with high speed miniflex ( those dentists tools ) too. Desoldering with a minitip-

I'm about to start building an ENTEK coated board for the first time. This board is a double sided board and I will be using Kester R598 water soluble paste. I searched the archives and read about watching my profile to ensure my flux doesn't burn of

Hi Abbas, Dave gave you a lot of sources which cover I think almost all topics in this field. Like in a search function if you are interested in specific topics could you please specify what you are interested in so that ones knows what answer could

100 MHz or Mbps and BT => BaseT => Base Ten. You can purchase interface cards from a variety of sources on the net (www.milestek.com is fairly maroon compliant, which is why I like 'em). In addition to the interface card, each type of point-to-poin
