Sometimes when a customer has sent parts on reel without any leader, we will take out the first 5-8 parts and then tie off the cover tape with some leftover tape from the last run. We keep those parts we removed and then place them back in the feede

I want to suggest: * IPC-2221, Generic Standard On Printed Board Design * IPC-222X, Sectional Design Standard For Printed Board For Y Printed Boards ... but I just thumbed through both quickly and saw nothing, I really didn't spend as much time as I

Hi everyone. I am now faced with a problem on soldering PBGA. At first, I ran the board (FR4, 7" X 10" with 12 layer) at Peak Temp: 205 C and 54 seconds above 183 C. After reflow, I found several cold solder joints and one ball without second collaps

Go to the top of the page and enter your topic in the "Search SMTnet" window. It can take some tweaking to get it dialed in to the exact topic you want. Do you mean the paste was on site for 3 weeks, or was it actually out of the fridge for 3 week

Hi there. We have had an out of control reflow oven that has allowed its temperature to fluctuate by up to +/- 20 deg C from set point in very short periods of time. We found the root cause of the problem and fixed it, but by then we had already run

Comments [questions] are: * It�s strange that an uggie ol� SOIC, 50 pitch, BIG honkin� solder pad, kinda thang is failing. Sumpin aint kosher, yano? * Where is the failure occurring [ie, lead to pad, pad to board, etc]? Talk about the breadth and di
