SOT-223 Flux trapped under part and lifting off pads

Electronics Forum | Thu Sep 30 11:30:46 EDT 2010 | babe7362000

Take a few parts from the reel and look close at > the parts to make sure the bottom surface of the > leads is below the bottom surface of the body. Yes I did that and they are below the body. I found the problem I think. The solder mask is abo

Soldering contaminated leads?

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 05 18:05:56 EDT 2010 | jry74

I have seen an increase in components with contaminated leads, mostly SMT parts. They give us solder wetting problems and insufficient solder joints. Our practice is to not use them and return them to the manufacturer. Are these parts solderable?

Baking Components - query

Electronics Forum | Mon Oct 11 14:01:25 EDT 2010 | clampron

Good Afternoon, The PVC tubes, unless marked otherwise, cannot see 125 degrees C. I have baked smaller level 3 parts at 40 degrees C for 9 days in the tube. I had tried several different temperatures but found out the the max temp for the tubes is d

HASL lead free thickness

Electronics Forum | Wed Nov 17 07:39:20 EST 2010 | jax

Most PCB manufacturers should be able to fall between 1.25um-5.00um for Pb-Free HASL. I doubt you will get anyone to agree to anything higher. If you are going to require an average thickness, make sure you also state "No Copper exposure allowed".

Samsung vs. Mydata

Electronics Forum | Wed Nov 24 07:58:14 EST 2010 | rgduval

I have used MyData's in two different companies, and have never used the Samsung machines. MyData's flexibility is, generally, key. The feeder designs allow for short strips to be loaded, as well as rapid change-over. The electrical testing capabi

What machine would you buy?

Electronics Forum | Sat Jan 15 08:53:37 EST 2011 | kahrpr

That’s a pretty general statement. You would need more specifics to make a good choice. The question is like asking what kind of car should I buy Ford, Chevy or Dodge and leaving out Toyota, Honda etc. What are the volumes ? What is the mix ? What mo

Assembly/Stuffing Issues

Electronics Forum | Fri May 06 10:46:16 EDT 2011 | gregcr

On an unrelated issue/comment. I am founder/owner of a CM for 15 years, and the term "stuffing" always makes me cringe. The level of technology and investment that it takes to produce quality product, and stay ahead of the technology curve is consi

Stencil Inspection

Electronics Forum | Mon Mar 21 15:21:46 EDT 2011 | dyoungquist

At incoming inspection we visually check the stencil against the gerber file (called up on the computer monitor) used to produce it. This is mostly to check that they mirrored the bottom side correctly although we check the top side as well. That i
