Hello all. Running a new to us Omniflo 5 and realized that there is no ports for thermocouplers or wires to do any profiling. There is a space on a front panel for thermal profiling inputs, so I am assuming it was optional, just not spec'ed on this m

I am not sure what the IPC spec is suggesting....K type thermocouples are normally specified upto 1250 C, of course there is a tolerance in their accuracy and this probably degrades after hundreds of uses through a reflow oven, but normally the accur

We are thinking of getting a small pcb assembly setup for a small manufacturing co-op here in Los Angeles. Our experience consist of manual soldering of through hole and smt components. A quick search suggests that there are a few turn key opt

I have been using Quad 4C's for 15 years and have never come across this error. Everything initializes OK but when I start a program through Central Controller I get an "OUT OF MEMORY" error. I have flushed the Mod codes and re-entered them and have

There are many profilers(physical devices) on the market. Most of them have software that makes predictions based on information about the paste, oven model...., but I wouldn't trust the predictor as on your boards you will have different parameters

The smallest finished hole available for 2 layer board is .020”. The smallest finished hole available for 4+ layer board is .014”. All holes are round and drilled through from top to bottom layer of board. No blind or buried vias. For holes = .15

First, it's a surprise that your failure analysis lab thought everything was OK with these boards. They look like shit. Second, a few years ago, there was a bunch of complaints about ENIG boards with issues similar to what you're observing. There wa

Assuming your conformal coating material was selected with the intent of living a life in contact with oil, why doesn't your coating meet the IPC-A-610D requirement of that there be no voiding, no breaks in the surface, no loss of adhesion, etc? Furt
