Design for Manufacturability (DFM) is the critical bridge between a flawless schematic and a high-yield, cost-effective production run. In Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly, ignoring DFM principles can lead to catastrophic issues such as tomb...

Few things are more frustrating in surface mount assembly than pulling a finished board from the reflow oven and finding that perfectly good components have lifted themselves into a standing position, or worse, that adjacent pads have pooled togeth...
