I am supposed to heatsink a Temp sensor with leads .9-1.1mm(.035--43"). I have found on our engineering units that the smallest heat sink I have found commercially is still too heavy for the leads and unless the operators use exxxxtreme care the wei

We bulid many boards with fine pitch on solder side and then wave. We use a wave fixture that is custom for each board. The fixture covers the SMT components and only exposes the PTH lead during the wave process. It requires about .070 to .100" clear

Steve: Several points: * I don't have any real problems with the paper that you referenced. The hair on the back of my neck did rise a bit when the paper touched-on the higher level of process control required for ENIG. * JAX makes a good point.

I'm new to this site and hope to get some information. I'm probably going to get a ton of junk mail, but here goes. We are in the process of evaluating new equipment with the eventual outcome of installing a complete SMT line. We are not a high vol

I would suggest contacting some refurb companies depending on how much volume you are talking about. From my experience, I would look at Fuji (very good equipment), Seimens (flexibility) or something like MYDATA. Fuji's tend to run towards the high e

Hello All! I have a problem that hopefully someone out there might have some ideas. I have an assembly that upon the "dental pick test" the entire solder fillet is coming up with the lead and leaving what appears to be a bare pad. I believe that th

Russ - I agree with Dave and Wolfgang that the boards are the top suspect. The idea of "rework" from Gold to HASL sounds scary. Are you sure the Gold is electroplate and not immersion? Resolve that and then check the archives for "dark pad" or

Mario, Good Luck. Your not likely to find a used unit. The Flo-Master SMD-5000 is a great unit that dosen't break. We've had units working 2 shifts for over 3 years without a single spare. When a unit works this well people don't give them up.

Hello Claude Its likely, by the DB9 and the age, that this is an EGA monitor. This is a a predecessor to today's VGA. A few ideas: TV store or monitor repair facility to fix the old one. Outside of the CRT or flyback transformer they are generally

I have a hard time reading ( and understanding ) the manuals of several different machines, I am exposed to. I wonder if this web site could help me in the task to collect short versions of machine manuals, written by machine operators, for the Fuji'
