This issue is coming from a customer. The customer demands that we do not mechanically center or test passive components, because of issues they had in the past. There has been a studies that it takes about 8-10 newtons to damage chip. Most of our pa

Well it looks like you answered you own question. Why would you send the component out for cross section. Why wouldn't you try a different manufacture, assuming you have already used different date codes on this supplier. Is your company contract man

| Yes, norm it is. Look back to February 98 :discussion on this issue. Norm, That discussion does deal with palladium coated leads, but when I read your statement about silver/palladium fired terminations, I'm assuming that you're referring to

We are searching for an integrated passive component (or device) consisting of a resistor in series with a capacitor in an 0805 package. Cap value is .01uF, resistor value up to 1 meg. Any suggested sources appreciated. Miked@emcohighvoltage.co

Is there any difference in performance when running paper tape or plastic? What's the smallest passive component that you have fed in the feeder? How does pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape perform in the feeder? PSA has a tendency to transfer

Alright this guy's promising the world. If anyone uses this company as a result of this thread please let us know if your able to get 0805's, 0402's or 0201's that you couldn't get anywhere else. We don't have size constraints and have been using 12

We use Alpha UP-78 (Older paste formula) and it works well for what we do. We standardized our stencils at 5mil with a 10% reduction on IC apetures and a home plate design on passive components. Additionally we use laser cut electro-polished stenci

Recently we have been placing and reworking quite a few Linear LGA DC converter modules. These are LGA packages with integrated passive components which become easily disturbed in reflow. Even with perfect bumping techniques on the LGA using the poly

Vapor soldering has some advantages for heavy boards, especially in energy transfer to the board and solder. The soldering temperature is fixed by the boiling point of the liquid used, and will not exceed that temperature, another advantage. The tr

No, in his case an ICT in not out of the question. An ICT, especially with many passive components, can give you piece of mind that the assembly was built correctly. Even with the addition of an automated insertion machine, you still run the risk o
