Review on Alphastat Metal Bench Mount Ground by Mark Bearden

Unit comes with two long 3/4 inch screws for mounting. One bright spot: they only used copper wire, so it could be easily reworked with the right soldering tip and temperature. Also the conductor is protected with a nice thick and soft silicone insulation. It's a nice looking fake from the front. Desco They look pretty much the same, but that's about it. At the second block, the wire began to break. This wire is surface soldered or butt soldered.: I laughed to see that it passed QA/QC deployment. In no case do these devices meet the MINIMUM soldering and assembly requirements of IPC J-STD-00 6. They also don't meet the strain relief requirements for unsupported wires. Because we don't have time to wait for a replacement. We have revised all blocks. As there is no strain relief the rod was removed and soldered on the front and the wire wrapped around to provide some strain relief to prevent stressing the solder joint and breaking again.
