All of our new board quotes include a charge for programming that's based on the component quantity and mix of SMT vs. TH. It doesn't take into consideration what it takes to reconcile BOM vs. PCB data inconsistencies, so we eat the cost of resolving

We charge a flat rate that covers Programming, Documentation, and Engineering fees. We arrived at the number by estimating an average time spent on these activities over a period of about a year. I lifted this method from a company that I used to w

That system certainly has its merits (simplicity!) but we'd like to provide sort of a benefit to our customers that do good work up front and provide a little motivation to cooperate (or find out just how cost competitive we actually are) to everyone

Interesting concept. Cost-motivate the customer to give you more info! I like it!! I'd guess that to get to that point, you'd have to ensure that the customers know the cost-benefits. Maybe a menu of services that includes different price points

So what happens in this hypothetical model when the customer provides you all the data you asked for and then your programmer finds out that it is the wrong revision data or the BOM is truncated or the centroids are missing refs, etc... Then new data

Often, people cause ESD damage. • Your body easily picks up charge (electrons) • Your skin, hair and body can store relatively large amounts of static charge. • You can transfer (discharge) this electrical charge to components or assemblies - causi

I've got this thing made by Rayovac from Wal-Mart for charging rechargables.

Please explain how you would go about grounding a circuit board EOS/ESD Association Frequently Asked ESD Questions 16-Threshold Volume 26, No. 1 January/February 2010 Q. I have a customer that wants us to measure our compressed air for static. Ho

To resolve this issue, we use stencils with a step in the location of component with the solder charges.

What would happen if a 2 volt solar cell was hooked through a diode into to a 3.6 volt nicad (3xAA)? would it charge it at all? just a bit but never fully? would battery deliver 3.6 volt after charging? If left long enough would it charge fully?
