Hi there; CAD s/w and h/w are very expensive investment these day's , exspecially for EDA(Electronic Design Automation).Since that many of the CAD data is not compatible to each other format then it is very important that they choose the right one.H

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the response. We had a similar situation to yours with some white tin samples that sat around for about eight months. Samples soldered right after they arrived soldered better than the ones we soldered eight months down the

Greg, The best advice that I can give you is a PBGA will respond just like any other surface mount package. There may be a 5 degree delta between a PBGA 356 and a QFP208 but the two respond very similarly in the convection reflow environment. CBGAs

I am not sure if I have seen an article comparing solder joint strength Vs pressfit although I am sure this has been researched by literally hundreds of companies before they felt comfortable going to pressfit. I know one of the issues with solder is

If your flex circuit is only populated on one side, you can have the PCB vendor palletize the flex for you. What you do is have the flex circuit laminated to 062" FR4 using a thermoset adhesive like Dupont WA. Standard flex circuit adhesive. Howev

I used an off-line paste height measurement device to control my paste process. I did not inspect every board, just a random sample once an hour. I have used both manual and automatic devices. I like the automatic becuase: 1 - I have no "operat

Steve, I have done countless board profiling and oven reflow profiles. Here are the critical factors on you need to address. What is your board surface finish, if it is something like an OSP it will need a good amount of an active (aqueous) flux to

Mike, A drag solder system is not so bad. If it's not discoloring the silk screen , damaging your parts or blistering your boards than it looks like a safe bet. I am not sure what other components you have on the boards besides the LED's? But the
