Plenty of people don't like cut 'n clinch and might appreciate just having the cut part. We do a mix of OEM and CEM work, because of the low volumes special tooling for a product is often out of the question so that is one thing to consider. We use t

SMTNet has a video tape and interactive CD ROM on Intrusive Reflow Soldering that you may want to check out. In addition there are some free inspection standards for pin in hole printing, placement and soldering available at http://www.dpmo-monitori

Hi Barry, One consideration that you may want to consider is the lead to hole ratio. The higher the ratio, the less solder is required to fill in the gaps and give you a fillet. Heat is a concern. You will need to ensure components will take the he

Hi Reese, Thanks for the feedback. So you have a fair amount of assemblies that are new designs with 10% through hole parts. Are these parts inserted manually? What is the soldering process?...wave solder?...selective solder? Do these components

Hi J_Dub, thanks for the continued info...Of course selective soldering would be very time consuming for such a through hole assembly...but 18 minutes, wow...didn't realize selective soldering could take that long. I would like to know the approxima

How about Semi-Auto insertion. Only one type of machine needed to insert virtually any through hole components. The CS-400E was originally manufactured by Contact Systems and now Versatec is offering remanufactured systems...completely rebuilt to t

Thank You Adam...this is the type of input I am looking for. To summarize, you are an OEM that has gone through the process to remove most through hole parts from your assemblies. Those that remain are primarily connectors which may not require lea

Most of the PTH components are manually inserted. Some are auto-placed by our UIC machine. The parts are preped before install, so there is no need to trim the leads afterwards. The boards go through wave solder. The UIC machine has a clincher on

You have to be sure the TH parts can take the reflow temps. A lot of time you willl have to get special components. We do some BNC's this way, but they had to be special order BNC's. There is more info in the fine SMTnet archives.

We want to insert 4 legged LEDs (superflux LEDs)in the PCB. Please advise what kind of automation equipment can we use?
