Technetter's A theoretical question.. It has been my understanding that surface mount resistors had to be mounted right-side up (white side down) to facilitate the proper heat dissipation from the part. Is this in fact true or have I been misinformed? If true, how do I manage to keep them right-side up if I'm using a bulk feeder where the part orientation is not controlled as it is on tape? regards, Graham Collins Process Engineer Litton Systems Canada (902) 873-2000 extension 215
