>>> Pin in Hole/Intrusive Assembly & Defect Guide <<<
 
 
 
 
SUMMARY

This CD ROM is fully interactive and covers the use of through hole components, design and process requirement when implementing Pin in Hole/Intrusive assembly. Examples of satisfactory solder standards are provided with a complete guide to possible process defects with intrusive reflow. The defect section may be viewed with small examples to make searching easy and then each sample may be viewed at both half and full screen. A description of each of the defects is included with the examples.

A full animation of the surface mount assembly process is included on the disk which includes the BGA, double sided assembly and through hole/Intrusive reflow assembly. This section features a commentary by Bob Willis or can be viewed with just a text guide.

This CD-ROM complements the video tape, report and photo album already available in industry and are the first products available in the world to cover the use of this technology.

 
DESCRIPTION
This CD-ROM may be run without a full multi media PC as the process guide, inspection standards and defect descriptions may be viewed and read without a sound system. However, maximum benefit will be obtained when using a PC with a sound card.
   
1 To run from the CD place it in the ROM drive and double click on File Manager under Program Manager in Windows 3.1 or Explorer in Windows 95 and select relevant drive.

The PIHR Defect Guide and Picture Gallery is contained on a number of pages each with six defects per page. Often the type of defect is not known, so a photographic example may be selected for the type of defect, a description and a magnified view.
 
7 To re-run the program in the future, select the PIHR icon which will have been set up when installing the program.
8 To de-install software from PC simply double click the UNINSTALL icon under the Program Manager screen.
