I'm down to the last few P112 boards for sale and am pondering another run of them because demand is steady. One of the biggest challenges for the last run was getting the QFP-packaged 100-pin chips[1] in a state such that the pick-and-place robot wouldn't throw a fit about slight differences in lead position. The stuffing house insisted that I send them new chips. Pulls, though they looked perfectly okay to me, were not acceptable. Does anyone here know anything about pick-and-place robots using pulled 100-pin QFPs, particularly a stuffing house that can work with such chips and not screw up?
