The CCA drawing actually does belong to our customer as it is a DOD contract. We were the last ones to ever build the cards but since so much time has passed since the last build all of our PWB vendors like us have probably purged their systems of al

Hi Phil, It all depends on your product. You say small lot sizes, but are your board 20 by 20 inches in size with 5K parts both top and bottom? If so then even building 3 of these could take you days to build. Then take you weeks to trouble shoot

Is the oven air or nitrogen? If it is air I would suggest more exhuast to pull the flux vapors out if the oven before they can condense in the cooling. If it is a nitrogn machine that makes it a little more complicated. If the filter system is clogge

One of our customers had us building "Pb-free" assemblies with a few Sn/Pb parts on them. THEY got rolling too slowly and we were not able to bring in the required Pb-free components due to lead-time (not Pb-time) issues. When they started requesti

Dominic, I guess it would depend on criticality and volume. We do mostly low volume builds here, and the only time I do a solderability test is when we encounter an issue during production. That process works for us, considering the volume of the

Does anyone know of a company that can build a custom machine for someone? Somebody in the Atlanta area? We are going to be hiring a company to build a specialized machine for us and I thought I would put it out there in case someone does this kind

The neat and simple solution is indeed a laser. However I have seen other quirky ways to denote a build revision. These include a resistor with a value marking that matches the build revision e.g a 1K marked 102 could indicate assembly 1.02. Another

How about building a panel and checking it out prior to sawing it up?

Is it a mixed technology build (TH and SMT)? Do you have a reflow oven or just a wave?
