You should have no difficulty with QFN or QFP parts when using non-RoHS solder. The QFP's are most likely to have tin plated leads and the metallisation on the QFN lands the same, or ENIG. Check the component part datasheets to verify the plating an

Let me thank you for the reply. We are manufacturing products which are fitted on the aircraft. We are using SN63Pb37 solder paste for PCB assembly. Of late one of the solder paste supplier recommended SnPbAg for better solder-ability & reliabi

We are planning to learn while we have some volume subcontracted. We are in US. We have subcontracted for 30 years but want to bring in house now. Looking for the right machine for our needs. Reliability with speed. I found a machine for under $

We are looking to improve our SMT Line; We currently have Quad 4C (P&P) CPH; 3600 Capacity: 68 (std 8mm feeders) Minimum Pitch: 0.635mm(0.025") Could you suggest a reliable new Pick n' Place for better CPH and capacity for a value price? We found

I would say not very reliable. The component separator spring, pick point adjustment, and magazine have to be perfect. Your nozzles have to be perfect etc..etc... My general advice is move to a different platform if possible. I have worked extensive

The Agilis feeders are much more reliable than the old TM feeders. You can tweak the TMs a little bit, but, it can be a pain. Agilis have better repeatability, and built in y axis correction for 0402 and smaller parts. On the newer machines (My se

Looking at Fuji XP143e rated at 20k cph but what is its real world speed for 0402 chip shooting? Does anyone have experience with this machine? How reliable is it? Any major problems/drawbacks? There isn't much written in past forum posts about i

Stuart, Quad Systems had something like that a few years ago with "Smart Feeders". I do not know how reliable it is or was, but it might be a starting point.

Interested in information regarding PCB soldermask tenting over vias within a BGA layout. Is this a common practice to reduce the occurrence of shorts, are there any reliability concerns? Thanks!
