We do not assemble with these connectors any longer, we replaced them with a connector from somebody er other, like Teka [one of the pioneers of solder-flux bearing lead technology and a supporter to SMTnet], Samtec, Advanced Interconnections, Mill-M

The connectors are well within thier specification,and are also checked for misaligned and damaged pins , as regards the cross-section results, all holes are correctly aligned and are well spaced within their tolerance of +/-0.005 (a couple of isolat

All, For what it's worth the only time I have experienced this phenom was when board support pins were misplaced on our chip shooter and these components (previously placed) were resting on the pins and cracking when we populated the other side o

I have a proto-type PCB with a 48-Pin Fine Pitch TSOP (0.5mm pitch) with a dimension of 19mm L x 11.50mm W x 1.10 Thickness. They are at the bottomside of the PCB and I need to wave solder the board. There are 8 of them at the bottom side. Are they o

Dave, Thanks for the input. I cant beleive I didnt think to check the suppliers web site, I feel like an... well anyhow. The leads I'm referring to are place at a 90 degree angle from the edge of the pcb and extend towards the bottom as opposed to

Thanks for the details. Next question- where is your first time pass rate measured? Is this at test? Do you have inspection gates at the end of each process step? To get to the root cause, you need the earliest detection. Collect attribute data by a

WE are using press fit connnectors on a range of boards, one of which is posing me a few process questions . The Machine is a fully automatic machine. The problem is intermittent and I can't seem to put a finger on it. An array of connectors ( consi

Belive it or not, these boards were run through a Centech batch mode Vapor Phase machine. Single stage top side IR preheat. Vapor temp 218 C. Solder paste is an SN62 RMA.The boards were FR4 8 layer w/ solder mask, fairly conventional as might be e

I have 15 very large backplanes (.156" thick Au plating) that the ground pins of a high density thru-hole connector were not thermal relieved in the artwork. As a result we are unable to solder the 8 pins that connect to the ground plane. We know t

Hello Sean, We are currently using a Pin in Paste process to mount some through hole relays. This particular board has 72 relays per. We have cut the stencil to overprint the hole. By putting a small amount of solder in the hole to flux the lead, th
