| A user of one of our components exceeded the floor life of some plastic BGA components. They did do a pre-bake prior to SMT reflow but only 72 hrs at 40C and not the recommended 12 hours at 125C. I've recommended accoustic microscopy to look for po

Rich: In my experience, I have seen three cases of SMT Capacitors cracking: 1. Due to thermal shock when entering the wave solder. Note that these were 1210 package sizes on the wave solder side of the boards. We were able to trace this back to th

| Hello everybody. | Remember I posted some questions on the smtnet regarding placing the thru hole connector using paste and reflow(pin in hole). I have able to accomplish the process succcesfully.....but I have a problem. The boards are failing at

that's a pretty cool idea, I like some thinking 'outside the box '! 1. I don't think picking it up and placing it will be much of a problem. once the rivet is placed it will be held in place by the paste. However, you would need to make a tray that

Hello Evtimov, sorry...just saw post as I was looking through list...a bit late. I don't know if you ever got your answer. IPC-4552A covers EniG finishes and suggested shelf life. I've referred to these doc's quite a bit. Good spec's ! Yes, I beli

| | | Hello everyone, | | | We found many cylindrical diodes missing during SMT process. Could someone tell us how to prevent this problem? Is it effective to change the shape of stencil apture or reduce fan speed in reflow oven? Thanks in advance. |

How would you like to have this guy evaluate your reflow profile? It was in response to an auditor who require someone they had monitor temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celcius. What a geek Don't put him on the spot. That is not a good thing to

Well, everything WAS going OK until I started setting up for a board job (40 boards with about 450 components each - many image repeats). We setup 37 feeders with their parts and started defining the pickups and placements. Part #1 is an SOD123 zener
