Susan - Thank you for providing more information. It is hard just to give a rule of thumb on warranty time. Comparing other contract manufactures is also misleading. I have seen 30 days to 10 year warranties from contract manufacturers. Here are some

Let me put my two cents into this argument..After being part of many extensive studies conducted to determine the benefits of solder paste inspection, there has never been a case where the customer concluded that paste inspection (Height or Volume)wa

You've told us nothing about your situation, process, boards, or anything!!! If you leave some boards with very fine solder connections on the shelf for a cuppla years, the grain will become coarse. What do you mean when you say "grainy"? What is

So, we�re talkin� �bout the smaller end of a "large" paper clip after it�s unfolded once, eh? In keeping with your "nothin� up the sleeves" full disclosure, I�ll bet you�re feelin� a little sheepish about not tellin� us about: * Antenna pad dimen

I�ve seen other boards where people come in and use new screen names just to mess with people. It�s usually pretty interesting. Thank you for your advice as well. I realize that finding the right people is key and actually, while I am in the process

It�s tough to say. You need enough, but you can�t have too much because you slop it all over the pads, but if you have too little � well you get the picture. There�s so many ways to get to the same place. There is no standard. It�s whatever you n

I had forgotten that it was you that was on the Sipad adventure. [But then again, who can keep track of yer aliases? ;-)] You just go from one adventure to the next. Expanding On Dave�s Hi-Test Flux Method Theory � PASTE: Yes, contact your favorit

Sure, use of U-shape apertures is another way to reduce the amount of paste that you apply. That and similar schemes mentioned in the article are not a function of the flux used. We have used U-shaped apertures for MELF and mini-MELF. They are sug

Dave. F. Hmmmzzz.... Thats interesting, coz as a contract manufacturer, we try to optimize processes asmuchaspossible.... simple...yeah! that's the word "Simplify".... We found that if you layout a production line, assume x10 operators, and one si
