We have two major industry leading customers that are driving a lead free process. We have chosen to embrace it, invest in the technology and process and become a regional leader in lead-free process. Like most companies we kept current on the tren

Your dust collection / humidity / ionic path concern is reasonable. Consider applying your conformal material thick enough to form a good barrier between the device edge and the board, similar to what you do for QFP. [Admittedly the QFP is not a pre

I was recently given a copy of the "Tin Whisker Agency Action Notice" I was then asked to recommend and implement a action to prevent the suseptible components from reaching our stockroom. Since I can not commit my personel to activly research which

Anyone using these 2010 resistors? We just tried them and they bow like crazy during reflow. Not very good looking. Profile meets manufacturers spec. The part solders and works fine, but I'm a little concerned about putting anything on a board th

A lot of this depends on the initial quality of the OSP. I have had boards that aren't any good being stored air tight for one day. While believe it or not, I recently used boards that were opened and sat for 1 1/2 years and we built them with no pr

Coincidence? I just finished a glass calibration this morning on a P&P machine. Excellent tool for precision calibration. Takes the guess work out of the process. I would disagree with Cal's assessment. His calibration methods may work to suit h

I guess we should differentiate between machine calibration, process reliability measurements and process capability study. For the machine calibration you use the machines own optical cameras, but for cpk or standard deviation you measure the place

What are you going to fill the chamber with when it needs to be opened? If you use air, will the evacuated components suck up any available moisture? I've never done anything like this with electronic components, but some of the more porous materi

My company is developing a product that will require solder paste to be printed on a piece of cast aluminum. The surface of the casting is not completely flat. It has been recommended that one way to work around this might be to use a screen instea
