Pat, I wouldn't wipe my backside with the UK regulations, devised by the British civil service, home of humanities graduates & academic advisors who'd never cut it in the real world. We're also infamous for mis-interpriting european legislation, as

Building stuff of McD's HappyMeal give-away quality is not enough for supporting the world's fastest growing economy (be it flawed as it is). So maybe they are actually building better and better stuff, heck: it could even be plain good stuff. They

Hey Rob, Glad there's more people in this world that are (finally) waking up to reality. 1) There's simply no point in trying to ignore/exclude an economy that will soon be larger than our own. 2a) If you can't beat them, join them (in

To all smt neters, In many different threads I have tried to bring awareness of the dangers lead free alloys pose to the reliability of solder connections. Many times those warnings have been waved by unscientific reports (from lead free solder manu

Hi All, I would like help in establishing what is a feasible PPM reject rate from a typical SMD line. As a reference an SMD line consists of, solder paste printer, chip component placement, pick and place IC components and reflow. What is a bench

All, I have a very annoying problem with the FIP3 machine. A while ago i had an issue with 2 sensors (only!) basically they were not sensong boards etc. when I checked the voltage I had 12 volts on the GB line which should have been 0v. This proble

Hello, I have a question on white residues formation at wave soldering. We have recently run experiments to test the performance of various halide-free water soluble fluxes (ORH0 under JSTD-004). The flux was applied through a spray fluxer and all P

Hi Jaya, Here's a definition, towards the bottom of the listing... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiducial Mainly, a 'global' fiducial refers to the outside of the board, usually on the scrap rails. This allows the machine to locate two reference

Peter are you having fun with solder masks erwat? We saw this years ago with LPI solder masks. It shows occasionally with other masks. We agree with Russ. If nothing [eg, alcohol, flux thinner, acetonitrile, or water] dissolves the haze, then it

Does anyone familiar with COB process? I hv a PCBA product with one of the photodiode (size 26mmx1mm) which needs to be bonded directly on the pcb using COB technology. The wires that need to be bonded are 2, goldwires for about 100microAmp current.
