| I'm trying to get a feel for what the industry is doing with regards to collecting assembly defect data in the SMT/PWA process. Is it sampling or 100%? What are the points within the process where critical assembly defect data is collected. We run

Hi Dave! Dat' be da same board we ran at NEPCON East in 97'! Ray Rua was running the TAC line then (his company usually runs the TAC line at almost all NEPCON shows). A couple of things I wanted to point out on that GIF image that might b

Hello Netters, I need some info, Earl or Dave, I have a PCB that exhibits a white layer on solder side. It does not appear to be surface residues (IPA has no effect), but looks like its under solder mask. My first guess is that the LPI solder mask

| hi, | i am working towards developing a no-clean process for a customer at contract manufacturing facility. the assemblies have gold fingers on them. these are masked to prevent from any damage to them during reflow soldering. the earlier proces

| Hello, | | We are qualifying new sources of PWB vendors. We've got the first lot of "produciton" boards in and we want to put them through the paces before turing the vendors on. | | So far, the tests I can think of performing, and that we have

| Any idea what the "industry standard" is for fall out on assembled PCB's? I realize that the controls put in place in your processes will effect your overall quality. But I'm trying for a general answer. On pre-tested assemblies, should you exp

| I am looking for information regarding post wave soldering of stranded wires into a circuit board using OA core wire solder. We do a final pass thru the cleaner after the hand soldering but I'm concerned about any OA flux residue that may have wic

| Does anyone have angles on how to reduce N2 consumption at reflow process (i.e. process control equipment, etc.)? | | Any help would be appreciated | N2 consumption is very "machine" and process dependent. Some machine designs are better equipped
