You can place them by hand and reflow them using a toaster oven if you use SIPAD ssd with adhesive flux. Yes, I said a toaster oven. It is being done!! Convection ovens work best. Give me a call and I will send you some sample boards to try it out

Sasha, A standard RS-232 cable with the proper connectors would work. If you want you can make it. Normally the PC will have a DB-9 theses days so the wiring would be PC Machine DB-9 DB-25 2------2 3------3 5------7 Good

Hello, We just cleaned our wash a few months ago. I used white vinegar. No dillution, straight up in a spray bottle. Spray it on let it sit for a few minutes, comes right off. You might need to use a stainless scrubby on some of the tough areas, But

I have found that if you place it "upside down" with the paper on the bottom they work very well also. The paper has a tendency to warp during heating which causes the no connects. by adding flux to the preform you are essentially sticking the pref

Pallets will not work in this case because the wonderful designers put 0402's between the legs and all around the legs of the thru-hole connectors. There are 18 thru-hole connectors on this board and 200 - 0402's around them. The 0603's that are al
