| Does anyone have any info./studies on what the percentage or PPM defect rates are for each part of the typical SMT process. | Example: | Screen Print = 45% of total defects | Component Placement = 25% of total defects |

1/8" cutters, although they can only be used with our newer height-controlled machines. 3. Reduction of operating parameters. Reduced Z-axis plunge rates for the larger cutter sizes. 4. Addition of a 1/2 sec. dwell at the plunges. The small pause he

The first thing is all the TSOP suppliers like Intel do not rate the parts at normal temperature used in wave soldering. The spec is less than 230C so you have the reliability issue to consider and no one to blame when they do not work. You also have

We are using the new auto-dipping machine for LED solder dipping and dragging. The flux is water-soluble flux and the solder is 63/37 at 250 deg. C. Two weeks ago we exchanged the pot with new 63/37 solder. About a week, we found that the high level

We have come across this where the operator was using thin gauge solder wire (more suited to fine pitch SMT soldering) to form large solder fillets (power connections or sheild cans). We found that the operator was feeding large amounts of solder wir

Yes, moisture entrapment causes solder shorts 80% of the time. Cracks occur bottom side of the BGA. Use an acoustic microscope to find the cracks. So, what makes you think your BGA are blowing-off steam? I posted a vid on SMTnet that showed the b

We recently have received a lot of warped (bowed and/or twisted behond IPC 600 specs.) bare boards (some our fabricator's fault, some ours by design) and I can't help but figure that long term reliability will suffer when building product with them.
