We just started having board warpage problems with one of our suppliers. The product has been in production for some time with no design changes, no material changes from the board supplier. Someone told me once that if the PCB cure was not corre

basically your problems come from the copper balance top and bottom side we are using substrate down to 0.18mm (semiconductor industry/ Bga package / SIp business) you have to respect 5% difference maximum between Top and bottom side otherwise you

It's not acceptable to us. More importantly, you need to determine if it's acceptable to your customer. Recognize that your little IPA scrub does NOT remove the OA flux residues from the board. It mearly spreads them out across the board and under c

If your pots are open you then just need to dry them. Don't hide them. Are they rated for water clean? If not hand solder after cleaning with no-clean wire. Hand cleaning with IPA is dangerous - you really just push the flux around and don't was

It may be a voltage issue. A very slight variance in voltage can cause this. I have seen it before with one of our machines. I think the 5vdc. was dropping out just a little bit. Turned out to be a bad muffin fan. Power supply was getting warm, 5vdc.

All: I am interested in how process engineers are both removing and adding markings to active devices. We have a job where we have to both remove the markings of and the re-mark SOICs. The markings on the devices look like they are pad or ink jet p

At my last company, we sent specific key components out for remarking to help protect our intellectual property as it is much more difficult to copy a design if you don't know what the components are. (Yes, I understand this is not foolproof but rath

I just got done analyzing an old piece of gear with relabeled parts. We had a schematic of the boards, with no info other than the OEM's part numbers and the way the chips were interconnected. It took me no more than 15 minutes with a couple databo

You're not the only one. We just got done with a batch of ICs that had a high reject rate at placement. The machine was rejecting about 70% of the parts because it didn't recognize the part. The reason it didn't recognize the part was due to the f
