We are in North Western U.S. I like 2.6 better (for our mix of builds, anyway). 1.0 works great on PTF parts such as fine pitch QFP's but I don't like it for chips. It's too picky and we wind up forcing parts to the 4.0. We have another GSM dual

The CM I work for barely clears 1 million a year. On more than one occasion they had to use their personal funds to make payroll. Our sister company clears over 3million per year. I have been unable to determine what their process engineers are makin

FYI, Here are the steps in which we take to get approval. The stencil gerber layer needs final approval through our Engineering dept. What they do is send in a gerber layer from the stencil house and lays it over the current solder paste layer and ve

Has anyone ever used local fids on flex circuits that are applied by the board house as black ink dots? Good or bad experience? We have a flex board that has two identical 60 pin, fine pitch connectors on it. From limited experience and reading so

MyData PNP machines are good for high mix/low volume because change over time between jobs is lower than with many other PNP machines. They also handle parts on cut tape strips easily and you will have these with low volume runs. As for lead free o
