Epoxy on bottom of SMT component

Electronics Forum | Mon Dec 03 20:30:58 EST 2007 | shy

Q: I thought you said that the parts that weren't wetting in reflow were the parts with epoxy. A: Yes you're correct. Q: The question I have is do they wet in wave solder, and if they do, why does it matter what happens to them in ref

Fiducial replacements?

Electronics Forum | Mon Dec 03 10:22:11 EST 2007 | pms

The PCB's are supplied by the customer. No options. The BOSS say's get it done, make it work, I don't want to hear it. My BOSS is a psychotic idiot. The printer is a DEK with no options for manual fiducial over-ride. I think my idiot BOSS wrote the

error 117:Overflow on CSM84

Electronics Forum | Mon Dec 03 14:53:54 EST 2007 | jmelson

Well, it mostly does. The explanation and how-to-fix fields of the error chart do contain some howlingly bad translations. But, the how to fix field said the management info needed to be cleared. Once I understood they meant the MIS statistical dat

SPC Plus 3.4.2.1

I'm not familiar with SPC Plus. I'll assume it's a "statical process control" system. We use the SPC data collected by our YesTech AOI system, together with a custom, web-based reporting system for process analysis and defect reporting. I am actually

Germanium doping of SN100

Electronics Forum | Mon Dec 17 19:18:53 EST 2007 | bbarton

OH MY GOD!! Finally it's becoming public knowledge here on the streets. YES germanium is in this material. As much as these guys and ALPHA METALS wanted to keep these things secret, anyone with a halfway competent lab would quicky find out why all of

Electronics Forum | Mon Dec 17 13:58:54 EST 2007 | ck_the_flip

I made my own wave measuring device using KIC2000 system. KIC2000 has automatic wave detection, so now I have a profiler for both reflow ovens and wave solder. The delmat carrier only cost $500. A guy, Samir, from this forum gave me the idea, actu

Andy, I think you'll find as many answers to your questions as you have people that post them. To that end, here are mine: Planning to pay off the machine...we took it as an overhead cost, and didn't directly correlate cost of the machine to job co

Stencil Printing: Single pass vs. Double pass

Electronics Forum | Wed Dec 19 18:41:33 EST 2007 | darby

You printer is not solely designed for printing solder paste. This is why some of the options you would never use for paste appear in the menu. You may actually be printing overlays or yes, even t-shirts. This is why you may want to flood/print, prin

Silkscreen/Legend on Pad

Electronics Forum | Wed Dec 19 15:43:23 EST 2007 | cdsullivan

Hi, I was just wondering what the most common process is for silkscreen/legend removal and/or rework? Scenario: Fab house had a registration issue on some SOT-323 packages where the silkscreen encroached or was actually printed on the surface pads
