TechNetters, Does anyone have experience with placing DI/DT Inc's SQ24S series modules? This is a DC-DC power supply module (small, double-sided circuit card) which has 'I-Beam' terminals at each end. Is anyone installing these in an automated process, and if so, what tooling are you using? To complicate things, I am applying thermal conductive paste between the pwb and the two magnetics of the module. This is holding the module in its placed position during reflow, resulting in many defective solder joints, either at the pwb/terminal interface or at the module/terminal interface (which has minimal solder). Any suggestions for a reliable process?
