Hey ya'll! I'm wondering what it would cost to re-design a type 2C assembly to use all SMT? I know board complexity has everything to do with the cost. The scenario is that we build a board for a customer that has very poor yields out of wave solder due to the design, and we're wrapping a $20.00 bill around each board we ship because of rework and touch-up. I've done research on the PTH IC's that are on this assembly, and have found that they are all available in SMT packaging. What we want to propose to our customer is that the board needs to be re-designed for us to be able to build it at the cost they want us to build it for, and I've been asked to give a "ball-park" figure of what it would cost to do that...I know there needs to be a lot more details learned about the board to even give a ball-park cost, so I guess I'm asking if there is anyone that might be interested in doing something like this? -Steve Gregory- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
