This type of component packages works best with vision type: 254 - irregular. Measure the total package length including the leads. Also set the body dimension x-y tolerances to at least 0.35mm and the the pick up x-y tolerences to 0.5mm in the part

While the 85% yield on a per board basis seems low, we are actually running over 99% yield on a per solder joint basis as there are about 17,700 joints per panel. On average, 9 out of 63 boards in the panel need rework. Rework issues include missin

If I couldn't afford to go to Boston to get some training from the seller, I certainly can't afford a week in Australia! But, thanks for the offer. I do have the HHK (hand held keypad, that's what Philips calls it.) And, after tinkering with var

Oh no! Doom and gloom on the horizon! Why should I even try? Gawd, I've heard this sh@t all my life and ya know what? I went to school, got good grades, worked my ass off, landed a decent job, and still work for a low IQ, non-Chinese, non-Indian
