We are running SMT products and have been for some time now. First, I wanted to check with you folks to see what an acceptable FPY rate, or what you would consider and acceptable rate, is. Secondly, we are having issues primarily with product that

Sounds like there may be a people problem somewhere in your process. We have a couple of checks set up to aid with capturing first article issues. First, of course, the kit is checked against the BOM to ensure that all of the parts match. Then, we

Dstadem, Thanks for bringing your in valuable experience with the J STD 005 " Requirements of Solder Paste". I fully agree with you that the Solder Paste can be qualified for shelf life by doing simple viscosity test and visual inspection for coal

Franx: In response to your follow-up questions ... For the case 1: Q1: Should I apply the glue to the PCB with the same method as I apply solder paste? (with screen printer and squeegee). A1: Correct. Glue can be stencil printed, dispensed, or pin t

Paste control is a subject that has a lot of unfounded claims surrounding it. What is the difference in having a "working paste jar" and a "new paste jar" Either way new and old are getting mixed at some point. We just don't buy onto the whole thing

Depending on your requirements, you could range from a hair dryer, heat gun, toaster oven, hot plate, on up to digitally controlled surfaces and convective systems. You'll have to gauge for yourself whether you are just trying to add some heat energy

Most pots have a drain system, but that is a scary thing to use. I have seen places that have plumbed it nicely with ball valves and such to control the flow into small containers, but still fraught with danger. I use small metal bread pans. I lad

We do a lot of these devices and I guess I am not familiar the term "Dry Solder". The QFN device is not designed to have a drain hole, but needs to have thermal vias to control heat in most cases. We have used every possible gnd pad design and modifi

We use a Wave Solder Plated Through Hole (PTH) assembly process to install a TO-220 Chip Package in the PCB board that we manufacture and have experienced lower yields on a number of boards with this component due to Bridges. The bridges on the TO-22
