Hi All,
I am designing a PCB which is like trying to fit 10lbs of potatoes in a 5lb bag.(I'm sure many can relate) I am opting to put some surface mount stuff(mainly 0805 R's and C's) on the solderside of the PCB.
There are not many of these components and was wondering if there were any methods of waving this board with the bottom components already installed on the PCB. Would "gooping" RTV over the surface mount parts help so they don't fall off? I would rather not design a fixture for something like this to make it waveable. There are not many components and just want to know if there are any crafty ways of dealing with it. I'd like to stay away from very expensive things.
Thanks
