I found this searching the archives. Unfortunately Bob doesn't seem to have an active site anymore, just references by people he works for. It's a shame, because there was a load of good stuff there. Haven't looked at Phil's site for a while but it's

You weren't specific about the OSP that you use. We use Entek Plus CU-106A. Yes, just about everything removes Entek, especially if there's heat involved. Ethone states: * Alcohol strips 70% of the coating * Water removes 15% * Kyzen Lonox only t

Bert, Hopefully the MCS still has PD's from Fuji or the previous user. The Transverse rate IP set in them should be a good guide for any new PD's you may need to make. This speed is usually set as high as possible and still get accurate placements

Hi All, I wasn't sure how this would turn out until I ran some production. As I suspected, after every nozzle change the machine dumps the first 3 pickups, checks the nozzle height again (function 30?) and then begins placing with correction with n

I'm looking for some information on soldering irons being used in my no-lead process. Specifically, my floor seem to be burning out tips at an alarming rate, when soldering lead-free assemblies. Today, I had one woman burn out a brand new tip in 4

Most likely there is movement during reflow. How about conduction oven over convection oven for reflow? This is a small PCB with the LED sitting on a Flex-Rigid extension from the PCB. I was thinking if the stencil aperature for the LED was to be cu

Hi, I have noticed we are getting residue on our wave pcb's and it's worse with lead free, since we changed to the flux we are using. We are currently using Avantec VOC Free flux model Ecofree 303. It looks like it's made in Malaysia. Does anyone h

Hi, Does anyone know where to purchase the connectors? Specifically bulkhead connectors or PCB mount connectors. I am thinking about doing a general purpose SMEMA box that has a Basic Stamp in the core, and some buttons so I can use it for general

Hi, I am process engineer of SMT production. We have some strange problemn with tantalum capacitors. 1 case: If tantalum capacitor placed near BGA and one of his legs is connected to one of the BGA balls, after reflow we can see short between two or
