| | | We are currently looking into purchasing a high volume, medium mix production line. We are considering several different vendors and I would like to know if current users of Siemens equipment are happy. Are the machines maintenance intensive?

| | | We are experiencing shorting on a BGA. The part has a 1mm pitch with a 196 I/O count. The problem seems to pop up without warning & disappear in the same manner. | | | Our pad design is .020" diameter pads with .025" solder resist diameter.

Here are some additional comments that have been posted on the CircuitNet web site: Fist, the answer is the same regardless of the specific paste type, (leaded or non-leaded). High pressure sprays should never be applied to a stencil. Stencils are

MikeS - Thanks for the tips. Coombs book has been on my "to buy" list for awhile now... Guess I better buck-up and get it. EMPF is an old gem, for sure, but one I had forgotten about, so thanks for that reminder. I couldn't find the SMT 101 guide at

Hi Cory, As a manufacturer of aqueous cleaning systems, my advise is somewhat biased, however I believe it to be accurate. We have hundreds of customers who have implemented no-clean programs. The programs have been successful when measuring the r

I do not know which specific flux you are using, but here are some general guidelines. If your wave soldering machine uses a foam fluxer, then there are foaming agents in the flux. Under �normal� conditions, the volatiles (including the foaming age
