OK so you're stuck with gold. Not all that bad unless you're paying for it. Gold is very flat compared to HASL, so you should have no problems printing. This should lead to good placement as well. But after oven you mat have a big contrast betwee

Define "pretty easily". Did anyone ever do whatever is making them fall off now before? In most casses where a component "falls off" then someone implements a totally subjective test to make sure the rest of the parts wont "fall off" they damage a lo

Hello all, Happy Holidays. I need the names of some companies that will 'LEASE to purchase' electronics assembly tools. Most importantly Microscopes, Soldering Irons, Air Compressors, Vacuum Pumps, Wire Cutters, Thru Hole Lead Forming Tools, Bakin

Water soluble residues probably won't cause instant failures. The failures are most likely caused by excess paste being deposited on the center pad of the QFN. The excess solder keeps the part from sitting down in reflow and increases the possibility

Hi All, I would like to get some advice from users who place rfshields pre-reflow and reflow onto board. We ran a batch a few months back and boards which had the shields reflowed failed to function properly ~ I was happy enough that the profile

Couple of things. Type T thermocouples are solder friendly. However usually a header with screw terminals poses no problem as the temperature differential is nil. Getting thermocouple leads wet causes problems because two dissimilar metals + condu

You may need slightly longer dwell times and a little more heat in the reflow and wave to ensure proper alloying/wetting. Also consider if you are using a nickel doped and high copper alloy on bare boards in Leaded wave solder bath you will pick up c

Has anyone ever looked into the possibility for laser marking 1812 size X7R ceramic chip capacitors injecting sufficient energy to cause cracking when voltage is applied? If so, what were the findings? We are having failures of caps from one manufa

You're joking rite? I mean the pitch between these two connectors is night and day. Of course you will get shorts on the 96 pin connector because your leads are right on top of each other. Now, what to do about it: You took a picture of the top o
