Yes 0402 8X4 embossed feeders exist for Panasonic MSR, Universal GSM, Contact Systems, and Mimot for sure. In the old days of 0402 components, 0402 resistors used to come in 8X4 paper tape but now I think most 0402 resistors and capacitors come in 8

Steve - The weakened condition was my concern, and that was why I was asking if anyone had any details on issues that may occur doing this. Do you know of any details behind the risks involved? Qualifying a new LED will take a load of R&D resourc

Thank for the feedback everyone. The LED is designed to be soldered 2mm above the board, so that is their rational for allowing that much flash. And a spacer is not going to work because of the height limit of mating parts (I didn't design the boar

Hi Mark, Couterbore is possible in two way's during PCB Manufacturing. Couterbore plated and non-plated. Meaning that the entire hole will either have to be Plated or Non-Plated. Prefered Methode is Plated, to accomplish this your PCB house would

Our VIP98 oven just refused to do anything this morning, no previous history of problems. Conveyor and heaters do not start up. None of the Solid State Relays in the back of the unit are operating, although we can make them switch by wiring up to t

Hi Lupo, Are you talking about laser trimming the current limiting resistors in front of the LEDs, whilst dynamically measuring their output to get set light levels? If so then you need a laser trimmer & a very good photodiode/comparator feedback l

So it's a C-n-C clearance issue? Could you go with the other cutnclinch unit...which ever you have, get the other one (one's right angled, one's offset at 45�)? Yeah, I know, they're not cheap. Other than that, hand place some of the SMT in chip bon

Anyone, We are an electronic assembly contractor and one of our customer requires a 100% solder coverage on pads for their products. We are using flex pcb and we mount only one component (LED for backlight application). The solder paste we are u

Thank you guys for your help, I do not clean any on my assemblies who are build by the SMT an wave soldering department, we do used liquid fluxes Kester 951 and cored wire keester 245, usually it�s for batteries connector, led, terminal and wire rap
