We recently had a discussion with customer's QM - he claims that calculations for a proper solder wire diameter and soldering iron tip size (and temperature) have to be performed and documented for all manual (T/H) solderings (based on component size

Hello Arnold, Yes, by definition of joint formation, copper will dissolve in lead free solder in order to form the connecting intermetallic layer. There is a distinct difference in the copper dissolution rates of the major alloys being considered wi

We have the same problems with cut/tape parts. But, we specialize in short-run prototypes, so I don't have much of a choice but to deal with it, and find a way to make it as easy as possible. We just demo'd a splice tool from Sierra Electronics (ww

We get our splice tape through splicetronic solutions, I recomend the double splice tape. steir also makes the double splice tape it works good for attaching strips together and also for putting leaders on the tape, if your feeders require. GOOD LUC

We have fought with cut-tape way too much. It's always a bad idea. We've tried a couple methods/devices for manual splice with limited success. Before you look into this I would ask them if they could supply you cut tape qty's inslusive of fairly

The pressure sensitive tape is used as an alternative to heat sealed cover tape. It works usually quite well and is easily applied by the taping machine, but it can create some problems in the tape feeder. In the Surftape, Cal is referring to, the c

I know this is a little outside of SMT production, but, I'm hoping someone out there can help me with a small issue. I have a product that I'm building that requires 4 .250" wires, with .125" strip on each end. I solder one end to the board, and on

Go inform the owner of your company that you are spending hours of labor dealing with these parts instead of spending the extra 4 dollars it takes to buy an entire reel. When we deal with strips we make sure that an extra amount is ordered to apply

Nozzles are really machine specific. Your best bet, if you're looking for the correct nozzle for a part, would probably be to send a strip of parts and the data sheet to the manufacture of the machine and ask them for their recommendation. Most machi
