| | Last week I posted a message on rotary chip waves that stated that the drive shaft had a protective boot around a u-joint that degraded and exposed the joint. | | Someone from the manufacturer read it and contacted me. He told me the problem has

| We understand that testing for ionic contamination and surface insulation resistance measure different properties. We assemble printed circuit boards for other companies. We will not get combs on 90% of the boards that we assemble. | We have no c

| We would like to add another pick and place machine to | the SMT line. We're low volume so we change the line over | after each group of boards. So far we've pretty much | ruled out Siplace in favor of the Universal machines. | Does anyone care to

| Hello Ya'll, | I've got what may be a silly question, but why does it seem so important to everybody that you have x-ray capability if you're thinking about doing BGA? | I know what most people will tell me; "Steve, that's a pretty silly qu

| Is it just me, or does anybody else have problems with open connections on small surface mount headers and connectors? I am talking about small 20 to 40 pin devices, 25 to 50 mil pitch. We put these things on the board, the feet look like they ar

Be careful about the material you choose. All the materials out there are basically glass-filled epoxy composites, but they are different blends with different fillers. Some of them have carbon in the matrix to make them ESD safe, but it also short

| I'm also in the "Don't score it" camp. Routed breakaways are much better. If your wave solder process has decent control on the wave height, you shouldn't worry about flooding the boards. | The fine pitch consideration for panelizing - Since you

David, There was a thread going on the IPC TechNet about exactly the same thing... The ratio that was posted is: Less than, or equal to 30-grams per square inch Which means if you weighed a part and it is 30-grams, you'll need .033" of surf
