I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago. I received a lot of e-mail from salesmen et al trying to sell me equipment costing several thousand dollars. I was glad to get all the information I could, but there was no way I was going to get a PO

| I work QA at an OEM in Alberta, Canada. I saw earlier posts on the smtnet regarding PCB haloing criteria. I am currently in a dispute with my PCB vendor over the acceptability of haloing (delamination) around plated through holes and vias on a lot

| Does anybody know if a contraption exists that will minimize a PCB's tendency to become slightly bent after reflow? We have a new product that we're planning to assemble in a couple of months. The board is 9.7" by 13.4" and it is imperitive that

Jaqueline There are so many variables in the electronic assembly manufacturing process involving more than 12 different chemistries, that it is impossible to easily identify and determine the nature and reason of such residues. GEC Hirst Research in

Since we are on the topic, What we do over here, is to get SMT Technical to machine pick&place "sample component layouts" onto double-sided tape, which in turn is placed onto an actual PCB... QA will take that double-sided tape sample, and using an

Selective soldering machines are a good way to "finish automation", if the design of the PCB is conducive to the application with just a few components to solder. Your points are good. A decision matrix for selecting a machine might also include:

Dave is correct. I am including additional information that comes from a recent posting on another industry forum : The proper guidelines for bag sealing are actually specified in the JEDEC standard EIA/JEP124 section 5.2.1 Packing moisture-sensiti
