Due to couple of customers who still have some products that are completely through-hole, we use our Universal DIP and Axial equipment on a somewhat regular basis. Our machines are pretty old, but they work pretty well, and we don't do enough throug

I want to avoid peoples preferences as they will differ and will not be a deciding factor. A heat gun will introduce risk to surrounding PTH components and having to add protection for those, will limit any gain in productivity. There is no question

We bought a conformal coating removal machine AKA a sand blaster at an auction. It is a CCR2000 especially made to be ESD safe. Does anyone have any experience with sandblasting conformal coating? We mostly use humiseal 1A33 and UV40. When we use the

Plenty of 0805 inductors around, up to 470mH, but nothing that is 26mH. Coilcraft do 23.5mH or 29mH - see https://www.coilcraft.com/getmedia/18dd250a-2b92-4f9a-bcee-3624995acc0f/0302cs.pdf Eaton do a 27mH 0805 - see https://www.eaton.com/content/dam

The best way to measure is by money made(quality product and minimal rework). I worked for a company that asked me to achieve building 100 boards/week for an assembly. A year later they were unhappy that we don't hit 150 boards/day of the same board
