Doug, What I've done in past was calling them as 1206T.5, 1206T1.0, SOIC16, RESNET16, SOIC16T5.0, ALCAP4, ALCAP5 etc. T means thickness but for the ALCAP case 4 means 4mm diameter. If you have the time and patience, having a board and attaching a s

We are contract manufacturer for SMT and complete products. There were cases that we charge our customer for the set-up costs, mainly for some trial and evaluation work on our SMT line, especially when mass production order is not confirmed yet. F

Hi, Ever onward to Brainstorming. If you really wanted to reduce set up charges you would have to guarantee a volume and price with early termination charges. This would require a lot of trust on their part and some investigation of your bill paym

Back from my days at a CM, the setup fee was only used for first time customers. Basically this was to ensure that if the relationship was to be permanent, all data formats, documentation, and special issues were taken care of. This requires extra
