Is not a problem, I've done it. Be sure the insertion tooling and cut&clinch tooling are set to proper distances from the board. If proper, no deflection of PCBA should be observered during AI. Obviously, your AI Operator must be more careful with PC

I'm curious about one thing. What kind of components are on the bottom, how many are there, and how are you processing (in particular how do you get glue and paste on) them? Edited to add: You shouldn't have any problems (assuming your tooling heigh

We are having problems with a 1210 cap moving as far as a 1/4 inch from its pads during reflow. We have verified the placement before reflow. They will tombstone some of the time. There are smaller and larger parts around this location and none of th

Alternate explanations are: * Your reflow profile needs to be tweeked. * Bumps under a die look different than elsewhere on the package. Severe creases may indicate a problem, but creases of only a 0.001 to 0.002" deep should not pose any difficulti

You can't really use a pasted board to troubleshoot the program as any components not on target simply slide off with machine vibration and movement as they won't be held by the solder paste. Whereas on double sided sticky tape they remain in place

I am doing lead free testing on a Vitronics selective machine with a 4 mm nozzle. The finishes I am testing are ENIG, ImSn, and ImAg. The problem I am encountering is achieving good top side wetting. Has anyone had any luck with this type of an ap

Good ol'Wenesco. That's one of my old products they have in their advertising. The tricky part about dip process is in the fluxing. Spray fluxing a populated board from the bottom looking up can be a challenge. You'll notice the areas you missed

We bought the lead free pots for the Ersa machine and change back and forth. We had a lot of problems running SAC305 in the Ersa. It seems to create a ton of dross and you need to frequently clean and flux the nozzles. I would really like some feed

We are using SAC for reflow because of the lower temp and better wetting and copper disolution is not so much an issue in reflow. There is not much difference in the alloys and they can be mixed with no problems. I assume any supplier of SN100C cou

I agree with URL. We made a mistake years ago paying a consultant for something that can be done your in-house technical staff. The consultant took a bunch of notes and suggested we all wear "finger cots". His solution didn't help us with our prob
