I have many PCBs that use an AVR in SMD packaging, and since I frequently change the firmware in prototype boards, I'm trying to come with the best solution to program the AVR quickly and easily. The first approach was to have a standard header (2x5

I think the main driver is MTBF data driven by the Car OEMS, mainly german makers pushing this onto suppliers in supply chain. Vacuum soldering and void reduction is a hot topic for the leading electronics suppliers in Germany at the moment. Is not r

In trying to have things run smoothly with placement, I have to do a lot of theta adjustment to get the rotation right during placement. Even if the part looks good on the PnP machine screen sometimes it places differently than what is shown. If I u

Interesting, I work much the same way as Ivan up to the sticky tape part, plodding through the BOM against the pick and place file and downloading the relevant datasheets to verify packages, this can be tedious but usually gets much quicker the more

Hi all, We are having a confusing defect with one of our client's boards. It is a large board, 30" x 12". The client supplies the LEDs, they are cheap overseas diodes, and it is not uncommon to have reels with the packaging torn. We have w

We have the MC301N as well as the older T200N from manncorp and I have experience with the ebay T962A as well. Between the three, the T962A (with firmware upgrade) would be my choice. The T200N has a horrible software package, although a better pro
