We are converting from COB to SMT on a product line and want to optomize the PCB as far as Laminate, plating, passivation etc. This is a high temp application 150C. We are presently using BT Laminate but would like to get away from this. We are lo

Another concern is that some bulk feeders present resistors upside-down 50% of the time; I'm told that this can affect heat dissipation and cause other problems (e.g., hidden partmark). Note: this is not a problem with chip capacitors because they'r

Hi Jeff, We are having solder-short problems for BGA, QFP, and some other fine pitch parts while using DEK screen printers. The PCB is processed on the second half of the line for screening the side with BGA, QFP, and other fine pitch parts. Which m

Hello Grant, I represent an independent distributor (Semixchange Inc.) which is ISO 9000-2001 registered, and has an ESD compliant warehouse. We buy and sell thousands of passive components a year. We stock many part #s in our warehouse in Warwick,RI

Hi Grant, You say your design are increasingly using more passives. Do you mean you're using more and more components per board or is it only the ratio passives/IC's that is shifting? And are you also increasing volume or is it just the component-co

Hi, Great, and thanks for the info. I will check it out. It's true lead times are long for large reels, but it's worth it when running. We have much faster machines now, but if we are sopped replacing reels all the time, it cuts into up time in a

The quad 1000 is best used for 0805 parts and larger. It is termed a chip shooter meaning 'for the most part' passives only. There is no optical alignment and it has mechanical centering using precisor pads. Fiducial finding is done with a beam and n

It's easy to reject everything is it? IPC offers excellent training courses for inspectors in interpreting A-610.

I am designing a component for surface mount. Does anybody out there specialize in the design of passive components for SMT? Can you recommend a good reference?
