We are investigating purchasing boards off-shore (Topsearch). Part of their process is to punch the matrix instead of router them. These boards are mixed technology. Is anyone aware of difficulity processing punched boards? Thanks, Mike

We build a good number of assemblies from 30-48 inches, but I believe all of the boards are produced "off-shore".

Gotcha. We are a CM and we build 48" LED boards. But we buy all of our long PCBs off shore.

I also live in NC (mainly in the winter) but I think we are giving too much time to this. Most product is made off shore these days anyway.

Greg, you pointed out yourself the many advantages of bulk feeding. I would like to mention that the higher component accuracy and the feeding track accuracy of the bulk feeder contribute to an improved pick failure rate of small ( 0402�s ) component

here are my thoughts on kester, I have rec'd a sample to qualify here and we cannot even get it out of the cartridge it is so dryed out. Rep informed me that Kester has a problem with its chemistry right now. Product is Mfgr'd in off shore location

For repeated model runs, we go ahead with the SMT run, whilst the QA does the FA inspection. Limit FA timing to 2h or less...(simple boards yield faster time cycles). For new model runs, yep, we wait for QA to confirm the FA inspection, only with QA

If you ask me, these were the two issues that contributed the most to the decline in PCB Assembly Manufacturing in the US...for that matter the electronics industry in general. 1) The obsession of management to please shareholders which was driven f
