Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some feedback about through hole assembly requirements today vs. yesteryear. As I see it, there are two main categories...legacy through hole and new through hole with mixed technology. The legacy stuff is older designs

"Do you think these machines are less appropriate for smaller lot sizes and PCB's with just a few through hole parts?" That depends. It will still save time if your lot sizes are small, as opposed to hand placement. I would not recommend buying an

Hello Action_101, We are pretty much on the same wavelength as far as moving the cut and clinch and leaving the board stationary. It is the first I have heard about the cut and clinch being difficult to work on but you worked on them so your opinio

Let me start off by saying that although we pot a decent variety of products, we have never been asked to do something like this, so this is not based on personal experience. This is just my gut talking here. I suppose you could use some sort of ca

If there is only a single lead free BGA on the BOM, I would suggest a "hybrid" profile. Use regular solderpaste (SN63/pb37) and peak your temperature at around 225C. Allow a bit longer TAL to let the two solders co-mingle at the BGA joints. You are

As far as OEMs go, Universal themselves are pretty reasonable about second-user support. Its only $500 to register an older GSM, and their factory field service people aren't any more expensive than many competent smaller companies. You do have to bu

Yes, car rims (and brass tubas)! You finally helped me get to the bottom of this expensive issue. We fired the culprit. It's the same guy that was using the ultrasonic stencil washer to clean car parts on night shift. It might be snake oil, I don

Hello @ the specialists, we have a Nordson Asymtek SL940 to coat our pcb's. We can use the valves SC100 and SC400 for conformal coating applications. We use the Humiseal 1A33 as the conformal coating. Now we would like to use the standard 1A33 in th
