With some help from our good Friends at Agilent Technologies our RF Lab includes testing up to 100GHz. Equipment includes Vector network analyzer, signal analyzer, dual channel power meter, noise filter meter, advanced impedance analyzer (including

If the thermal mass of the products is small, a tent-shaped profile is recommended, with peak temperature around 240C. The hottest spot on board should be less than 250C. However, if the thermal mass of the product is large, such as a large server PC

Hi Dave, You make a very good point. I think that the concern over lead is not so much in user's contact with the lead during the product's active life, but after its disposal. There is some valid concern over lead leaching out of circuit boards

Good question Brian. I'll answer this briefly and try to get back to the subject after I get back from a meeting I have to be at shortly (sorry about that!). There are lots of ways to define this new field, but one relatively simple definition is u

We started our first ENIG process recently and to our surprise, we have many failure on the one and only BGA on the board. The BGA is a 31 mils pitch plastic. Sending the PCBA to 1 cycle of heating/cooling @ 70/-5 degree C yield 40% of failure. With

My personal favorite is the Siemens F series and the UIC GSM platform. Both Siemens and UIC have awesome resources for csp, flipchip and baredie processing - Siemens= Dan Baldwin from GaTech; UIC = George Westby from UIC labs. My second choice would

Hi.. Recently, I have received a few reels of 0402 with an old date code ( but still less than 2 years old).I don't have a capability in-house to carry out the solderability test except for the dipping test ( dip the components in the molten solder

More information would be helpful. For instance: * Talk about the distribution of the problem, including a single lot or from various lots and over components and component types on the board * Tell us about the board (ie, thickness, type, solder ma

Igmar, If these parts are epoxied in place, and subsequently wave soldered, I would bet you a cup of coffee that they are cracking due to the thermal shock of the wave. Typically there is a valley or dip in the temperature after the pre-heat in the w

I bet ya box of Krisp Kremes our operators can melt insulation on wire better and faster that yours can!!! Aww, our operators can melt any insulation on any wire. It�s taken years of effort to develop the talent, but not matter what we bring in for
