That is great point John, it definitely gets you closer to apples vs apples. Remeber one time when we were compared to a another Mfgr that made a square box of plastic for one of our customers we made the PCB the fit into that box, we had wires, fi

I assume you are talking about Sn62Pb36Ag2 solder. You should not see any added concerns when subjecting Sn62 to multiple reflow cycles as compared to Sn63. As compared to Sn63Pb37: Reduced leaching issues Increased Wetting due to lo

Hi all! We are placing BGA's using a QSV-1 pck and place machine. I believe our profile has the correct information but we continue to get vision results not available when we inspect the part. Our screen appears as follows: NO RESULTS AVAILABLE PAR

I am guessing Theresa is saying when that some SMT parts are soldered (not glued) very close to some PTH parts. So close that they can't effectively mask the SMT parts and have an opening for the PTH part. At the company where I work, we've been tr

1) Swapped it out a few weeks ago to attempt to combat the problem ... Great minds eh? 2) I'll try changing the position setting to see if my yields improve. 3) Ahh yes, in fact, I have verified that our vacuum levels are low (range ~130). The

We use Indium 1074-EXR on ERSA, and it's performed miracles on our yields. Spot soldering, like wave, is all about fundamentals. Put just enough flux, preheat to prevent thermal shock and activate the flux, and then solder with enough dwell time to

From info I have been told from design standpoint, via in pads helps with managing EMC issues with working design, in particular for high speed digital/dense populated type PCB's. We had a manufacturing customer that had very low yield because of th

N ot another thread on PCB support! O f all the topics, this one has been much repeated. T o each his own, i guess for brining up this H eck, this topic is almost as repeated as stencil cleaning. E ngineers SHOULD be hands on, I agree. No

At one point in time we were putting TI NanoStar parts on these particular boards. You don't want to attempt this at home! Thank God they took them off. Part was 1.45 X 1mm with 6 .1mm balls. They were a pain in the A$$. We had about a 90% success ra
