Hello Mark, I'll assume that you are currently wave soldering and would like to eliminate that operation by using pre-forms or press-fit connectors. Solder preforms or solder flux bearing connector leads usually do not require any hole size changes,

We based ours on the type of paste we use (stencil life) and not so much the machine. Then we coupled that to what 'true' conditions we normally see in our plant, and determined that under these conditions Max & min) our printing process should be g

I think I had my units wrong in my previous post - that blueprint job was 6 years ago and fading fast. My level of 700 would have the same units as Dave's level of 1000. This is the metric measurement of lux, vs the imperial footcandles. fc to lux

I have done experiments on small runs, with a few connectors and have had favorable results, I had apertures (oversized)made for the thru-hole connectors on our SMT stencil and hand inserted the connectors.. A few insufficient solders here and there

Steve, Dason has valid points here. dun listen to what supplier's say about paste lying on the PCB pads able to be exposed at ambient temperatures for 8-24 hrs? that will never get approval for Class-3 type of customer auditors. (Would any serious

Hi mate, "no more than 6hrs in the stencil" for us means: 1) we finish setup of reflow oven, P&P m/c, and lastly the printing machine(includes loading of stencil into printer machine). 2) once printer machine is setup, we rip-open the paste Can pr

Communication is the issue. What we have here is a failure to communicate....how does that song go? I implemented a system whereby incoming inspection would check component packaging to the spec. If it did not match they were to contact the process e

Juan, I believe in term of height vs volume, volume is much better control. By the way we used Cyber Sentry 2000 which allows us to measure volume, height and area. My plant normal practice is measuring the height. Last time I did the control limit

We experience e-test failure due to BGA problem. The product was subjected to 40 deg.C hot air blowing on the BGA area and it works pretty well. The product then failed when the temperature became 36 deg. C as the hot air blower is withdrawn. If it

Hello, I am looking into purchasing a rework system for BGA's. Contacted several manufacturers, both large and small, all seemed desperate to sell their stuff. I would need to be locked up in a nut house should I base my purchasing decision on the
