| Due to an foul up on my part, a circuit board ECO snuck up on me and I have a solder paste stencil that doesn't quite match the board. Two pads are off by about half a pad each. | | Can the solder paste stencil be modified? If so, what is the tec

| | | | | Hi, | | | | | Does anyone has experiences in reflowing Ceramic BGA and found solder wicking ? Solder wicking has the syndrome that solder being wick from the pad and ended up in the leads. | | | | | We have rule out the possibility of not p

| | | We recently made the switch to no-clean and the wurface mount is turning out beautifully. However, the wave solder process continues to put up a fight; we are getting a white residue on the surface of the PCB. The residue is not localize

| Cpk's on top flight ovens (e.g., Conceptronics, Heller, Electrovert, Vitronics) vary wildly, from 1 to 2+, between different supplers. The suppliers don't seem to understand Cpk's. A supplier's rep whose oven has a Cpk of 1.0 told me: | 1. Cpk's

When you say that glue viscosity changes for lot to lot, is this LOT TO LOT of your product OR Loctite�s product? And when you say that glue viscosity changes, what do you mean [eg, increase by � , decrease by � , er watt?]. What specifically is th

Forget what the machine's max. placement cycle rate is spec'd for. For each board you assemble time the actual placement rate. To do this start the stop watch the instant the camera is positioned over the first fiducial on the first board, then stop

Thanks for your replies guys, there's some good info there. Dave, answers to your questions: The stencil was initially a big problem as with the Egineering Model's (EM's) and Engineering Qualifing model (EQM's) we kept getting short circuits due to
