Steve- We had the same trouble with 0805 Panasonic film caps. We had some tombstoning and open solder joints (non-wetting). We found two problems...like you, we changed our pad design to meet their recommendation. Also, they were able to suppl

I'm with Brian. TIN COATED 0603 FAILURES Welcome to the lead-free generation. ;-) The Eurolanders are so blanking stupid, it just makes my head hurt. But then again, it doesn�t take much. OK, enough pontification. Your profile is setup incorrec

Good for you!!! Similar to Steve's comments ... 1. NON-WETTING DEFECT: Yes. Your Lonco is a �stand and deliver� flux. Not some limp wrested impersonation of a flux like most nc fluxes. Without speculating about �incompatability�, recognize that

Agilent has a great article on determining whether automated optical inspection (AOI) or automated x-ray inspection (AXI) is right for you. It's a PDF file that can found here: http://www.ate.agilent.com/EMT/LIBRARY/X-RAY/DOCS/59883661en.pdf To sum

Tough. 0402 capacitors are more prone to tomb stoning than resistors. Tailor your process to the 0402 and let the other stuff fall where it falls. Search the fine SMTnet archives for discussion on tomb stoning. Consider: * Changing paste. * Apply

Hi, WE are making some test with this kind of component and aperture and here what we think. when you use a home plate aperture it's seem that the component is not lenght enought to have a good solder but maybe is our CAD guy that didn't make a

My 2 cents... Screen printing may very well have a leg up on deciding SMT defects... however if you pay attention to your stencil (aperture size ratio etc..) and inspect your prints... I believe its a much lesser number... (paste MFG also plays a ro

Specs for Bow and Twist for PCBs (IPC-A-610C, 10.6. There may be an update by now). I also have a note in our quality guide referencing (IPC-TM-650, 2.4.22) and (MIL-STD-105D). In summary, a PCB should not bow more than 0.040" with all four corner
