I think the single most important thing will be to maintain positive pressure in the room. All the air filtering will not be able to keep up if dirt is blown into the room everytime a door is opened. The next would be to control as much as possible,

Our production is putting QFN40 and QFN56 package on board. With 80% opening on terminal, 40% on thermal pad, we found QFN56 100% forming toe fillet, but it does not work out the same to QFN40. We suspect it's because of the weight of component.....

Is this happending consistently with every board? I guess if it is (so is easily reproduced), I'd run boards in with the lid down, then open it when the tunnel is full and see which boards still have all the parts in place. At least then you'll kno

Hi All, I have been tasked with a project on the control of moisture sensitive devices and I was hoping to get some input from the experts out there... How do you monitor total exposure time for a MSD? If the packaging has been opened and re-sealed a

during the soldering process on larger BGAs the corners can bend up or down due the large copper heatsink on top expanding quicker than the material the bga is made out of, in the worst cases this can lead to to the balls lifting out of the paste and

Surely not? I thought it was all free & we were heathens (at least I'm guessing that's what the cable guy insult was meant to mean)for not welcoming it with open arms. O well, back to my biggest technical problem of the next two weeks - what SPF r

You need a thicker mask/stencil, the openings should be .005" larger than ball diameter and the thickness should also be .005" thicker than the ball diameter. by making the mask thicker you can then just roll or scrape the extra balls off and any d
