Absolutely Mike Lets take that one step further and say that almost anything that you use to clean up with will from then on be considered hazardous waste. Wiping rags/pads, the previously mentioned vacuum bags/filters, the piece of cardboard that yo

Guys, We are currently on the market for an SPC tool for our reflow & wavesoldering equipment. In order to please customers we require a tool to measure the repeatibility of our of both the above mentioned processes and collate this information ( SP

All of the above is good stuff. To add, I have seen this several times if the assembly is wavesoldered. Heat from the wave can partially reflow the top side SM solder joints and weaken them. To test, check joint strength before wave and then after

Hi Jacqueline, - what a name in this technical world - I just tried the calculator and for example choose the CQFP and then selected other and an input mask appeared where you have to fill in the required data from the components datasheet. I have to

Hi Jacqueline, for the "manufacturing allowance" IPC says FAB.TOL. is the board manufacturing tolerance and PLACE ACRCY is the pick and place accuracy. For 0,8 mm pitch they give for both values 0,1 mm. Solder joint design goal data comes from empir

Istv�n: Given a choice, I�d run second side PLCC44s at 90� to the wave. As far as thieves are concerned, I�d have two, mirror images of each other. Unlike most, these thieves are not connected to pads. They are out-side of the last pad on the sid

Sorry, not much help for me there. More information would be helpful. For instance: * Talk about the distribution of the problem, including a single lot or from various lots and over components and component types on the board * Tell us about the boa

conveyor speed x dwell time = contact length and =====> inches / seconds x seconds = inches. First run your pump at a constant speed.....THEN,.... try running your glass plate at a very fast speed, and then you'll notice that your lengt

Hi all: We are seeing "solder webbing" on the bottom side of some of our PCBs after wave solder. The solder is sticking (like a spider web) to the solder mask on the PCB. This is only happening on 2 of the many PCBs we wave on that machine. Both o

So, what is not soldering? Pads er test points? I assume the holes are unsupported, right? Tell us more about the test points. Are they the kind with the little pastic shoulders [on the primary side] that keep them from falling through the hole?
