| Hello everyone, | We found many cylindrical diodes missing during SMT process. Could someone tell us how to prevent this problem? Is it effective to change the shape of stencil apture or reduce fan speed in reflow oven? Thanks in advance. | | Gyve

I am currently involved with designing a pcb which will use 225 pin bga,s The problem with this design is that the components will dissipate a lot of heat and the design we have come up with is use the middle 6 or 7 rows of balls as the grounding,th

I would recommend Zestron's Vigon SC200. It does not require a rinse as long as you cleaner is equipped with a wash solution filter to filter out the solids. Zestron # is (888) 999-9116. The toll-free # is frequently busy� If so, try (703) 589-11
