| If passive componets are cheaper why aren't they more popular? Manufacturers like Murata and AVX claim availability and substantial cost savings but little interest seems to exist. Why? Your input is greatly appreciated. | Good question... I work

Hi, Oh, never noticed this old comment, but now the threads been revived i can comment. I have actually owned three MYDATA machines over the duration of the last 6 years, and they all had accuracy problems. It depends on what your doing, but we got

Snaggletooth, I spent a good portion of my career fighting solder shorts on BGA's and QFP's, tombstones on 0402's, solderballs on passives, etc.. I've solved just about all those issues, and didn't solely rely on my stencil manufacturer... Your ste

Hi, I don't know anyone who uses Mancorp, and apart from this forum have never heard of them. I guess the big problem I faced when getting into SMT is trying to find a machine that could do what we wanted at a good cost. I originally purchased MYD

We evaluated Vapor Phase Reflow in 2010, and in the short time I experienced the machine, I came away with the following. The advantages you are (hopefully)already aware of, such as overall tranfer of heat to the PCB, no chance of temperature oversh

Hi, We just had delivered one of these and it's incredible. It's an amazing machine, and watching it load such a large board totally accurately, from end to end is amazing. Apparently we took delivery of only the second machine to ship in the world

Everybody's right! Two concerns are proper preheat for the flux and reduced thermal shock to surface mount components. The stupid er dumb thing is that these can be at odds with each other. The flux vendor usually specs topside temp before wave.

Scott: Sounds like fun: � Solder joint strength in pull/shear varies with lead geometry, solder volume, lead metal/metallization, and the test method. � Among things, IPC-TM-650 talks to getting pads off-of boards. For instance: Method 2.4.8 is for
