| Hi Folks, | This is my first surface mount board, so I asked our assembly house for some tips. They said only passives on the bottom side-preferably no smaller than 0805, 0603 only if I have to. I would think that an SOT-23 would be OK on the botto

John, SOT 23's on the bottom side is no real problem...as long as you get the orientaion to the wave right and you remember to increase the pad sizees to allow the solder to get to the pads. Soldering with only one wave would be trick as Vinesh sugg

Thanks guys, since I have no control as to who makes the board (probably the lowest bidder), I guess I'll keep the SOT's on top. Thanks for your help, John | John, | | SOT 23's on the bottom side is no real problem...as long as you get the orientai

Maybe it is all what you get use to. Our assemblers like the vacuum pen. Since we do more than passive components, some parts would be difficult to hold and line up. As for as our Fristch, we use it as a manual and just have our bins on the side.

| I am experiencing a problem with a surface mount coax connector that over time pulls loose from the PWB. The connector has 4 small gold plated leads and we are soldering it to a flash gold board. A cable plugs into the connector and puts some con

Thank you Steve for your input it was very usefull. I think I skipped a few pertinant details on my initial message though, the component which we found the flux contamination on was on the top side of the board, I was curious if the flux could come
