What is a typical SMT placement defect rate?

Electronics Forum | Sat Sep 27 19:41:55 EDT 2014 | cyle

Accounting for Dumped/Lost SMT Parts

99% of the time the effort to try and track, count and update inventory takes more cost in labor than the parts are worth. We plan 2% scrap rate and move on with life. Simplifying the concept can actually save a lot of money in the long run. Can be

I can buy approx 1000 stencils (cost includes next day delivery) for the price of a MY500. With a stencil, I can use WS paste and any other paste for that matter. The MY500 only jets certain paste from specific manufacturers. It is VERY VERY rare th

ISO Registered vs ISO Certified

Electronics Forum | Sun Oct 11 13:10:58 EDT 2015 | horchak

ISO has absolutely nothing to do with quality. You either build a quality product or you don't. The audits and maintenance of the certification is expensive, and the audits are a joke. Stop and think that the individual doing the audit has no idea ho

You might try something simple like the appointment scheduler built into Micrsoft Outlook. Set an appointment to review your material status based on the lead time, say 1 month before expiration. Review supply and demand and order accordingly. Set
