Dave: Actually, I'm located in the South Bay (Santa Clara)! Good guess. Now, for more in-depth information: So far, the distribution has been limited to one board out of 10 assembled, so far from one lot. The components assembled are exclusively

I am researching articles with respect to intermetalics growth associated with gold as a final metalization. We are currently looking at a few options that include a 10uin flash followed by a 30uin selective and a total 30uin finish. The concern is

What kinds of equipment are you looking for? Alot of people arent explicit these days, guess it's the holidays. Had some rabel-rouser borrow my volt ohm meter and the next thing I know it's on the line being used as test equipment. Tried to give a

Ron, have a look at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/cgmphome.html It would be a nightmare, if your plant is not structured to support it. It's a huge pain in the fanny even when you (alledgedly) are. I'm not sure what you're pursuing, but if you're c
