As far as the large thermal gradient I have on my thick and thermal heavy board, I've done quite a bit to minimize the gradient but not successful. it's like one pad is connected to a signal while the other pad is connected to ground, you can't bring

I used to work for an OEM that made professional audio equipment (studio monitors, mixing boards, etc.). The mixers required precise alignment of LEDs, switches, and pots in the sheet metal so we used aluminum alignment fixtures during wave solder. T

That error means your hydra z did not reach it's specified position. With the machine on you should be able to manually push the hydra down and let it come back up. Make sure it isn't being held up or hitting anything as goes down. Lots of times a pa

Hi all, (I posted on eevblog also, figured I'd try hear as well since this seems like a semi "niche" question) I need some advice on PCB cleaning. Up to this point, our assembly line has strictly run NC paste, with all SMT parts. We never washed an
