Use of a hot air gun to reflow solder that passes tests [after failing those tests] seems to indicate the standard process reflow was inadequate. To understand this better, we'd want to measure temperatures at various points on the board during reflo

We have measured the temperature of CSP solder joint. The peak temperature is 232oC and the wetting time above 217oC is 30s. But we use leaded solder paste instead of lead free solder paste. I doubt why no crack of solder joint was observed after cr

Beyond the materials cost, one approach to estimating the cost of assembling a board is: 1 Direct cost * Determine the processes required to assemble the board * Separate parts on BOM according to process * Multiply number of parts in each process by

You can assess these costs anyway that makes sense to you. These machinery costs are 'direct' to the product. You could call them manufacturing overhead or machine cost. It all depends on what makes sense. As an example, depending on the products you

Folks, I'm looking for some specs for the maximum bend or strain that should be put on a PWB. Not looking at the solderjoints. I'm concerned with localized bending of the fab and what might be a reasonable limit for that bending. I've measured 105

Without knowing your board, oven or profile, I would suggest working the middle of your profile. Try a slower conveyor speed to increase your soak zone of your profile. This will decrease your delta-T across the board. You may also have to work on

OEE is something that is difficult to project, because there are many factors that effect it. Component replenishment, change-over times, programming issues etc. I am sure the Fuji applications folks would be happy to figure out how many modules you

Oxford Instruments makes a device called the OSPrey 800 that measures OSP thickness on the pads. We took a look at it last year because we have one line that uses OSP. It is pricey, and that's why we didn't order one, but if you use a lot of OSP, m
