Thank you very much. I swapped the component length and width measurements in Autoprogram and it now places the SOT23's with image verification no problem. As for the 0402's I am still working on this. Pick and place is very new to me, well I start

I never understood the statement "process indicator". The 7095 committee used that wording but didn't explain it. Other than really unusual cases such as champagne voiding, BGA voids are not a reliability issue. A half dozen studies have come to t

The most effective cleaning of high solids RMA has been with a good saponifier (5-7%) [eg, Kyzen Aquanox, Lonox formulations, Envirosense Envirogold, etc ] in deionized water, 150F, with 2-3 DI water rinses. Dull solder connections when you do spot

Would you be able to use a piped water eye wash system? That way the water is always fresh. I'm sure I saw a variety of such sytems when I was looking for a stand for our eye wash station. The big problem of course is if you don't have plumbing wher

We have a customer transitioning slowly to lead free due to necessity rather than a need to comply i.e. some of their BGAs can only be purchased Pb free only. So for this we would want to produce them a leadfree soldered PCB (not necessarly RoHS comp
