We 'bend and clip' with good old fashioned needle nose pliers and side cutters. A typical size for a run would be 20-30 boards. Many of our designs are over a decade old and are fully TSO'd (FAA standard) and we can't change anything in the design.

Hey Guys, I checked the histogram...it doesn't look good. I'm assuming the graph for the black bars has to be in the green on the left and the graph for the white card needs to be in the green on the right?? Anyways, I can't find a "GS4 pot" I looke

Profile, profile, and profile. If you can sacrifice a board, the best is to drill a small hole into the a ball from the other side of the board and insert a thermocouple there. I'm 99.99% certain you won't be able to sacrifice a board. (who can the

What is the likelihood that we'll be able to manually dispense paste on 25 mil pitch, 20 mil pads and get away without bridges? We have a CTS Series 753 resnet we need to place and the build qty (30) and board layout (.5" x 1.2" unpanelized, 2-sided)

I have, but not for what you are trying. Different ovens and styles react differently when you try this, so you have to experiment to see how far you can go. Why do you think different temps top and bottom will solve the coplanairty issue? Is this

See if the solder is leaving the pad(s) and is wicking up the component. This is long shot but I have seen something similar to this possibly in a wave process. We had a very thin board and a very large QFP on top. During wave operation the solder

We never run raw solder paste through our board cleaner, because: * Flux floats on the water in the tank and contaminates everything, including the boards being 'cleaned'. [Prove this to yourself by observing the location of gray schmutz on the insid

We are looking at buying Circuit Cam documentation software. The documentation side is our primary need with a requirement to document from start to finish including box build. I have read past posts that were complimentary of the software. Has an

To bad Steve, CircuitCam is good stuff. On a side note. Large programs on MyData's. We load the machine with all the mags it will handle. Run the program, take out mags that the program has used, insert other mags with the incompleted parts, run pro

Depending on Zone Temperatures, Belt Speed, and Board Density... Some Convection Ovens will drop Zone Temperatures faster than others. They recover by increasing Air Circulation. This can make parts fall off the Bottom-Side that otherwise would
