Here's what I do: - Test Surface Insulation Resistance (we're in the high reliability market and use a test significantly harder than IPC's). I also test SIR in combination with other assembly materials like conformal coatings and wave solder flux

No, there's not a really great epoxy product for attaching thermocouples in reflow. Specifically, what's your problem? From Sanders Temprobe verbage ... Adhesives There are two general classes of material commonly used to adhesive bond thermoc

Based on work I have been doing recently the most common reasons for component loss is board flexture and vibration on the reflow process. If parts do not reflow then weight is not an issue. There is a video on double sided reflow and PIHR from the S

Roger Saunders, President Saunders Technology, Inc wrote a fairly unbiased paper that compared different thermocouple attach methods. You can probably find it on their site. In it, about gluing thermocouples, he says: There are two general classes

Hello. I am sourcing machines for an SMT line (for the first time) and would like to understand features of current and earlier model SPI and AOI machines. In the intended application, a high volume of PCAs aren't required to be processed but there

We've got 2 lead free lines running at present and one leaded. Our lead free pallets and stencils were both leaded before changing over. Just take care to remove any built up flux from the pallets as well as hidden leaded solder deposits prior to r

Paste In Hole "PIH" or Pin In Paste "PIP" are two different names of the same process. As far as I know this is fairly simple: the reason from the beginning is to avoid an extra process step/steps in the production line. That is to produce through h
