Mike - I'm not in the EMS business, but I suspect most of them are very reluctant to reveal much about their quoting process. You might want to try some of the third-party data suppliers like Ceeris (www.ceeris.com), and you can also check the C

Certainly automatic placement, preferably with vision system assistance will yield a more repeatable process. Process repeatability (paste deposition, connector placement, reflow cycle, etc.) will be your key to success here. Another possibility yo

John, we have waved 0603 packages for a long time, We have also started on 0402. Are you concerned with shorting across the component body or to other components? You should have no problems with these parts in a wave process. A couple of things

hello there : Does anyone know the techniques used for troublshooting or repairing the computer RAM modules (DIMM,s). We have a little equipment called simCHECK and it is not always able to locate the problem or the defective part. Do the DIMM desi

Edmund, An 0603 component should not fall from the board durring an inverted reflow pass, provided that: Your land geometries are correct for the package type (Start with SM 782 guidlines)- as surface tension of the liquidous solder is what holds

Charlie: As far as setting up a spray fluxer.. Are you spraying no-clean, voc free, water soluble? What you would want to do is to run a blank pcb through the fluxer and pop it out before the preheaters. Visually inspect for variations in uniformit

hello guys ; we are using a fine pitch component(0.65mm) on a thick copper PCB (Cu = 90�m) ; in this case we notice that we are in the process'limits , because the different supplier of the PCB are not able to ensure a good stability of it's process

Hello Pascal As mentioned by Wolfgang the key issue is the printing process capability. For a thick copper level 90�m we noticed that the pad reduction can be greater than 20% depending on supplier sources. Typicaly for a cad Width = 0.4 we can

I don't know what type of boards you are doing but if they are through hole or surface mount. You can get a whole line of used equiptment for pennys these days. I am sure that I could send you a quote for a complete line. The price of used equiptment

On the outside looking in the cost of manufacturing your board assemblies may look high. I will tell you that it is probably a good price. There are allot of hidden costs in manufacturing and yes equipment right now is cheap but try buying parts chee
