Hi PFI, Sorry, the owner probably will not go for shipping the bug. We have 4 plates here, but only one bug for the dip and one for the VCD's. I'll do my best to get you the information needed, though... The part # is DIP-561 and is $500 USD fro

I haven't seen a hydrometer used in years. Are you still foam fluxing? There used to be automatic units available, but with the advent of the spray fluxer, they may have dried up. If you are still foam fluxing with alcohol thinner, place ping pong

Certain paste mfg specify 6 hours paste thawing time to normalize the temperature. I am using solder paste softerner to spin the paste taken out from fridge for 9 minutes and measure the paste temperature in jar.It is around 26'c(same as the ambient

Hello, I know for sure that using lead-free technology in conventional tin-lead machines makes a lot of problems. But I wonder if we can use conventional tin-lead alloy and components with a lead-free machine! Is it possible? Does this imply any s

Assuming the AL tape shorts the wires for the thermocouple, you effectively have three junctions at the business end of the wire: wire 1 to AL, wire 2 to AL, and wire 1 to wire 2. If the temperature of the junctions wire 1 to AL and wire 2 to AL are

We have a new SMT line, our customers are asking us the validation of the process. Not only the validation of the resulting assembled board (solder joint...) but also a validation of every single machine in the line (ex. stencil printer...). For exam

Well I honestly can't say that I have enough flow, so that's a good point. We don't have a flow meter or manometer on our reflow exhaust. How do you measure that? Or, is it just that you make sure your exhaust path is clean and the blower is wor

Hi, sounds unusual if your profile is accurate that you have so many residues. Had a similar problem before with no clean flux and with various flux manufacturers, and all residues were down to excess flux. This does not help your case though. How a

For solder joint inspection you cannot beat AXI. That's what is was designed for. AOI machines were designed for component inspections and solder joint checking was an add-on. In transmission AXI you can get a measurement of the whole solder joint. A

In England all domestic sockets are 3 pin, with an earth. You can quite easily buy a device that plugs into the socket and has 3 press studs on the back that connect to the earth. These are usually made for connecting ESD straps to. I know RS sell th
