SMT Connector, Placement Issues

Electronics Forum | Wed Oct 08 00:58:19 EDT 2008 | darby

Hi All! I remember reading and seeing some (maybe Loctite) product which could be used to fill stencil apertures, but now when I need one, I cannot find it. Or anything like. Can some one please guide me? And with filling I mean permanent filling, n

We used to have fids filled with epoxy too, but they were never cut all the way through. It was just to blacken the mark better. Are you sure they were actually cut through? I can't imagine something as brittle as epoxy holding as a filler with not

AXI grayscale stability

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 07 11:45:59 EDT 2008 | ismir

Hi all! Got a question for you guys:) I'd like to measure if the grayscale of an AXI is stable or not. How shall I do it? Should I do a process capability study or is the X-bar chart-method better? Or is there a third method that I should use? What

I got this thing at a major grocery store called Loblaws. So far I've used it only to test it, and compare it to our $20,000+ solder recovery machine. I just hope my boss doesn't find out about this.

very cheap way to reclaim solder from dross

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 14 07:22:05 EDT 2008 | ccouture

I use this directly in the solder pot inside the wave machine. It is small enough to float at the surface of the solder, yet by loading it it act as a sieve and retains the dross while most of the solder pass trough, allowing me to clean the whole po

Humidity question

Electronics Forum | Wed Oct 15 11:55:43 EDT 2008 | jseagle

From your question you must be having rework issues due to the extended wait before reflow. What is the cost of the rework compared to the cost of just running the oven? Maybe you should look for a better used reflow oven that won't turn your shop

Problems placing PLCC4 parts with Fuji IP1 - any help/ideas?

Electronics Forum | Wed Oct 15 15:40:21 EDT 2008 | stepheniii

255 shuts it off, but if I remember correctly 254 still uses vision but passes almost everything? You might want to give 254 a try before resorting to 255. I believe 254 will still correct some pickup offsets. And iirc 255 isn't in the manual but so
