We are planning to purchase two new reflow ovens. I would like to take an unofficial reliability survey. Could you list your reflow oven model / age (yrs) / number of unplanned maintenance events in the last year? Example: BTU VIP98/2001/8

You might also want to consider process repeatability cross profile performance over time and energy consumption. Also reliabilty is effected by shift usage etc,. Eg could have oven that might appear reliable in one context but not overall. Ie total

hi SMTnet, I'm searching for a reliable mid scale pcb+assembly supplier in Europe (preference to EU zone but not exclusive). Please tell me about your experiences. Best Regards.

SAC305 Will be the best choice with minimum TAL, Maximum Soak Solder Profile. Surely your solder Joint strength also will be more reliable & This can pass any kind of reliable Tests.

How reliable are TM feeders for 0402 placements? I have a board with 2000+ 0402s that I need to run daily. I don't need agilis feeders for change overs as we use less than 50 feeders total.

Jacky: There�re major four factors that affect the reliability of a solder connection. 1 Design of the connection including the shape and height of the lead and the type and amount of solder. 2 Dissolution of base metals into the solder connection.

We always have big power modules on the board,they are very heavy,so we use the screw to fix the soldered module,then we destroyed the solder joints.If we screw them first, the board can't be wave soldered. My questions: whether we should use the s

You'd more than likely have repairability issues with the Acrylic based one. The acrylic-based finish is alot harder and more brittle versus the silicone. Some of the new silicones, you can just "peel" with your fingernail, while still getting reli

Stress is meaningful if it affects the long term reliability in a product's end-use environment. I don�t believe that things are that straight forward, although it would be nice if they were. Consider that differences in materials, number of layers
