| Any idea what the "industry standard" is for fall out on assembled PCB's? I realize that the controls put in place in your processes will effect your overall quality. But I'm trying for a general answer. On pre-tested assemblies, should you exp

There are ledgitimate reasons for checking furnace calibrations, but let me clarify what that is. 1. TC's are not necessarily calibrted. Not unless you need "absolute" accuracy. TC's operate against a (non-linear) standard +/- a tolerance. Most

Our first pass yield across all our products is above 95% but we include anything that does not meet IPC standards. Probably 75% of our failures are not electrical. AOI is a great tool to get a consistent measure of your process. I dont know how anyo
