Hey Dave, I beg to differ. ssd is currently available in the US, very reliable, and cost effective on many designs. Minor modifications to the films are sometimes required but only when the design itself is sub standard. ssd has come a long way si

Thank you. I never said that Sipad, Precision Pad, Optipad, and SSD were not available in the US. Are you saying that these products were not developed in Euroland? Please provide links to papers describing the reliability, cost, list of multiple

I am looking for a repeatble method to determine the quality of solder wetting to a PCB. I would like something that I can perform in-house, at low cost, with reliable results. My goal is to test the wetting on white-tin PCB's, after repeated reflo

Does this device have a integral heat sink / metal slug on top, like a TI TM320C6XXX er a Altera EP20K4XX? Compare the size of the pads on the interposer and the board. Compare the type solder mask [NSMD vs SMD] on the interposer and the board. Wh

Lee, There must have been a reason you liked the modular type platform. With that in mind we have modular equipment that has the reliability of you are looking for. Our PM schedule is minimal and the machines aren�t temperamental, they just run.

I would look at the pad to part ratio.Over sized pad geometry will give the component more room to move. I have also seen where the two pads that make up chip components are not symetrical nor complimentary.The pads should be equal in the X or Y dire
