SMT Assembly

Electronics Forum | Fri Sep 09 16:53:03 EDT 2005 | stepheniii

If there is a small place near you, they might even put one IC on a board at no cost. I've worked for a couple of contract manufacturers and both have done a couple jobs so small I can't see charging the person for. It would probably cost more in ad

Hi, I need a recommendation for a manufacturer on a reasonable cost conformal coating (silicone or other). This is a US domestic appliance PCB 9 volts only that must be dipped. Silicone or other could be unused. There is a standard RJ45 socket I wher

In your experience, do your customers care....

Completely agreed. That is what the DFM is for. It gives you, the contract manufacturer, the opportunity to describe what you find to be the trouble areas for manufacturability. Given that, you are able to make them acknowledge that if they choose

| How is cost per placement calculated? | Let me count the ways. Oh, this is not Jennifer to whom I'm talking. No matter, what's your environement? Is it prototype, high mix/low volume, low mix/high volume, etc.? It could some down to simply calcul

The manufacturer of the joystick will repair them. The cost is still expensive but much less than the price for a new one.

I designed 0.5mm through hole, and 1.5mm the pad in my PCB, but the manufacturer told me they want to increase the cost because it is difficult to fabricate. But i think my design is correct. Any advice?

We are investigating a system, using 2-D matrix code, that will identify and track every PCB throughout our factory, starting from bare board. As a low-medium volume manufacturer, would labels or laser marking be more cost-effective? How difficult is

I assume your "mounting manufacturer" (whatever that is) would reduce your cost. That would be cool, eh? There are some electrical, moisture absorbtion, flammability classification, and operating temperature considerations that your mounting manuf
