Using steel/aluminum duct work causes a radiator effect. Our Heller's have flexible rubber tubing coming off both ends that feed into a T above them. Just measured them at 57C on PbFree Profiles

We save some pieces to make fixtures, but most of our FR4 scrap goes to trash. We of course recycle all of the aluminum PCBs.

Looks like a decent profile. Only recommendation I have would be to possibly try and high-temp solder the thermocouples rather than the aluminum tape/kapton, only because you can get air-gaps and inaccurate readings using the tape method on assemble

Do you have the ability to add copper thieving or otherwise balance the design? We had a customer making LED boards with a terible inbalance. Some of the boards would "smile" so badly in the oven that the leading edge touched the top. They switche

so you bend it to go in? Can you not let it lay flat? We run flex on carriers, but nothing that large. We also run 48inch long boards, but they are aluminum.

Hi @calebcSMT, It is generally recommended to avoid coating the entire body of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors rely on the venting of gas in case of failure or overvoltage conditions, and coating the entire component could hinder

We took an example to a local metal recycler. They wanted us to separate the outer aluminum from the inner stainless, then they scrapped them separately.

dave, you are right on. a blow torch isn't needed to light a fire. a small coplanar aluminum block works extremely well. my dept fixes thousands of fine pitch parts to to less than 4 mils from low lead to high lead every month. all we use is a sm

Has anyone running the cp4-3 feeders (MC type) in 8 by 4 td flavour seen excessive wear on the aluminum body caused by the tape leaf cover and tape leaf retaining clip?? These are the black anodised aluminum feeders (new type) that we run on all cp4

That�s a 672 BALL BGA, bud!!! It�s a BIG Mutha!!! [I know. I know. For some reason suppliers call balls "pins".] Let�s focus on: * Clarifying the units on your PCB and aluminum plate thickness measurements. * Describing your use of the aluminum pl
