Combining two similar footprints - absolute no, or might work - tips to improve odds?

Electronics Forum | Tue Apr 15 15:12:50 EDT 2014 | bradlevy

Thanks Bob. I just didn't have enough experience with production SMT (vs hand-soldered prototypes) to know how finicky some things like this are. I've tried to do a lot of reading, but I haven't seen much that talks about things like this. I also hav

Quad IVc Theta Axis Problem

Electronics Forum | Thu Apr 17 16:55:32 EDT 2014 | bobpan

Hello, The only thing i can think of is the x&y ribbon cables. I know you said they are good but they could have an intermittent break. I would get a spare set and plug them in with the machine at a slow speed setting and see if it works as normal. A

Soldering to a nickel plated battery terminal

Electronics Forum | Tue Apr 22 08:55:54 EDT 2014 | davef

I assume that you're talking about wanting to solder to metal tabs that are spot welded to the battery terminal. These tabs are not meant to be soldered. The metal was special selected for welding. In the old days, you could buy plumbing flux at th

TL431 shunt regulator

Electronics Forum | Mon May 05 13:48:42 EDT 2014 | rway

Chances are you are using this as a 2.5V voltage reference for the feedback on your regulator. One thing that isn't clear is exactly what failure you are seeing. Please specify the nature of the failure. Is your power bus out of spec? I really ca

Solder climbs on the lead and touches the body of the component

Electronics Forum | Mon May 12 15:13:29 EDT 2014 | emeto

Thank you guys. As we are speaking I keep examine the problem and here is what I got so far. 1. I measured the temperatures on my profile and the lead is hotter than the board. The lead goes 12 seconds earlier than the pad and is taking the solder.

Thank you for your response! I was actually the guy who emailed you a few days back regarding the blank.jpg error message in PCBsynergy. I would really like to try it, but that error is preventing me. I don't know how to initiate communication. If

Relay failures

Electronics Forum | Thu Jul 31 14:58:06 EDT 2014 | rgduval

If it has been determined that it is definitely the relays (and not some other circuit device), you'll want to get the vendor/manufacturer involved for some failure analysis. They'll cut open the components, and try to figure out what's going on in

Dont't know how to proceed with a new pick & place

Electronics Forum | Fri Sep 26 19:40:25 EDT 2014 | jfduque

Hello everyone. First, I would like to apologize for my bad English, this is my first post and I came to this forum looking for help. I'm working in a small electronics company, and last year we've decided to invest in our first SMT production li

ekra e5 blades not dropping.

After getting the last issue I had fixed through here. I thought I would try to see if there is a solution for another issue. I have and ekra e5 screen printer and it has a problem with the blades not dropping when they should. If I set up single dir

So...today, we were able to get rid of the z axis not mounted error. It looks like we did so by modifying the settings in axes location (matched them to the beam 1 settings). Now, when we try to lower the nozzles, we can hear a relay or switch clic
