Interesting topic, I got a side bar question. The epoxy companies suggest a lower consistant temp (something like 1 minute at 160 degrees) for curing. But we epoxy and paste our boards that get waved. (I know, why are ya pasting a board that goes t

We are trying to implement AOI into the mix. One PE wants it Pre-Reflow, to catch and fix the PnP screw ups and the other PE wants it Post-Reflow, because the oven will fix quite a bit of placement offsets and mainly to catch any problems that the R

I once worked for a new branch of a company. We had a board where one of two tants would shift in the oven. When I phoned up HQ because they had ran the board before as soon as I said the product name their guy said "C148 shifts in the oven" He knew

Has anyone had success in soldering these devices, in particular devices from a company callede Pycomp. They are 8 way 0402 sized terminations. I have experemented with the printing process, placement verification & reflow profile. Unfortuanlty, I am

I agree with Iman. Verify the integrity of the component for moisture. Most definately place an amount of ownership on your PCB supplier. Request tank analysis results and copies of the lot travelers. Look specifically for any in process rework pro

Cracked capacitors usually are not found at ICT. Unless the cap is completely cracked, the capacitance may not change much, and the usual failure mode is a leakage current. This is usually only seen in ESS type testing, when temperature and humidit

Dave, I am not exactly sure what is driving them to believe that this is a capacitor issue. It is unfortunate, that this belief has slowed their activity in further understanding their manufacturing process. The caps are BME (Base Metal Electrode
