There are some fairly painless bare board fabrication methods that you can do in-house. Their main benefit is speed of respnse and schedule control. Profitability would depend on loading, marketing, and stuff like that.

Can someone clarify whether IPC-TM-650 Test Method 2.6.27 (Thermal Stress, Convection Reflow Assembly Simultation) is required for all bare board fabricators? Or is this test method optional, depending on the type or class of boards being fabricated

How does it effect the fabricators' manufacturing yields and efficiencies? And reliability of the fabricated PCB?

With loaded boards, warpage can be removed by placing the assembly in a wave solder conveyor pallet as you would if you were going to wave solder the assembly. Place board and fixture in a Blue M forced air oven at 90 C for 30 minutes. Let cool to r

Attached is an image of PCB fabricators logo Can anyone identify the fabricator from this, I beleive it is a North American board, assembled in the Austin Tx area.

Imm silver holds-up to multiple thermal cycles very well. The things, we guess, are happening to make imm silver tough to solder after heating and sitting are: * Oxidation of the silver. * Reduction of the co-deposited organic anti-tarnish [used in

Well, reflow certainly would increase your preheat, wouldn�t it? On the other hand, some PTH [and SMT] components cannot bear the heat of a reflow oven. Some boards will never see proper barrel fill, because of either: * Design of the board. * Sl

We section no bare boards at incoming. If we have a problem that needs investigation, our suppliers do the sectioning for us. If we didn't trust their analysis, we'd: * Get a new supplier. [There is tons of capacity in this industry.] * Use an ind

Your board fabricator is: * Correct that +-20% is the tolerance of the IPC specification * A moroon for not correcting the artwork to compensate for etch factors Find a new supplier. Baring that, if the SMT pad width is critical, you can specify th
