Response to ASSY: PCMCIA Vendor
---------------------------------
My name is Mark Trutna and I work for XeTel Corporation.  We are an assembly 
company.  I understand that you preferred to hear from other endusers and I do 
not meet this criteria; however, I am not sure that the end users that we 
manufacture cards for are part of TechNet. I wanted to outline our capabilities 
and if you have further interest I can give you names and numbers of some of our
customers.  Note: Because of your preference, I have tried to keep my answers 
short and to the point.
     
     
Capabilities:
     
     
1. 2 side SMT
     
We currently do 2 side smt on PCMCIA cards. We can place tsops, qfps, bgas, and 
ubgas on a double sided assembly. We build both memory, and wireless type I and 
type III cards. 
     
2. 12mil pitch QFPs 
     
We can place 12 mil pitch QFPs. Most of our production is curretnly 15-20 mil 
QFPs and TSOPs. 
     
3. 0402, 0603 and 0805 chips in large quantities 
     
We currently place 0402, 0603, and 0805 in high volume.  
     
4. .028 +-.003 TYPE III PCMCIA
     
We currently are building a type III PCMCIA cards  (Wireless CDPD modem)
     
     
5. Type I Assembly
     
We currently are building type I cards. We are also producing mini-cards if 
these are of interest.  We typically use the Duel cases for type I assemblies 
and ultrasonically weld them.  
     
     
6. etc.
     
We build several Digital/RF items such as a GPS boards, a satellite base 
station, a satellite phone system, various modems.  We have worked with several 
of these customer to implement ICT test on both the RF section (or board) and 
the digital section (or board).  We understand the RF requirements and have  
test personnel and equipment to support these type of programs.

We can support the 300K+ per year and currently have similar programs.

     Address,
     
     I am in the process of looking for an Assembly vendor that is very, 
     very established and confident in assembling Smart Cards (PCMCIAs) and 
     testing Digital/RF smart cards via ICT.  I would prefer to hear from 
     end users of the smart cards versus assembly houses.  The annual PCBA 
     quantities are projected in the 300K+ range.  The assembly house will 
     have to be capable of assembling the following:
     
     1. 2 side SMT
     2. 12mil pitch QFPs 
     3. 0402, 0603 and 0805 chips in large quantities 
     4. .028 +-.003 TYPE III PCMCIA
     5. Type I Assembly
     6. etc.
     
     Please forward any response to the attached email address.  Thank you 
     in advance.
