Brainless SMD pcb people
Circlotron:
This board we get made in China, it must have had a part missing so one of their rocket scientist production staff sorted it out but good. Missing part was an S08 555 and the replacement was something else again...
ogden:
I doubt his is deliberate. Machine operators cut corners for speed, mistakes happen. Could be so that other customer is wondering about 555 on their PCB :-DD
Circlotron:
It must have been put on by hand so I'd call it negligent if nothing else. Did they not notice the 8 solder pads didn't match up with the 10 legged device they put there and soldered by hand?
Nusa:
How many boards were ordered, and why must it have been put on by hand? The reflow job as a whole is on the crappy side, but that's visible even in the componentless via's.
Siwastaja:
There was a whole thread of extremely stupid assembly mistakes like this, some even more obvious, I remember one where the whole PCB was flooded with solder covering half of it, yet QC missed that.
Most if not all of those examples were by Western assembly houses.
