The First Reed Switch Auto Insertion Machine in the World hits the Market

May 21, 2017 | Denise Anderson-Rivas

Reed Switches, or Herkons, are extremely useful for many electronic applications. Reed Switches work by means of magnetism in reed relays and for electrical circuit control. In the presence of a magnetic field the reed will either open or close, depending on it's original positioning and purpose. They are extremely useful as they are hermetically sealed and can operate in almost any environment.

Reed Switch insertion into PCBs have historically been conducted by means of manual labor, by hand. As Auto Insertion mechanisms have advanced, there are new technologies on the market that can accommodate these highly useful switches via automated machines. Through Hole Technologies (THT) have advanced to now offer mechanized equipment to automate an assembly line that requires Reed Switch insertion. The first ever Reed Switch Machine is now available on the market for production assembly and auto insertion uses. This will make electronic products requiring Reed Switches easier to produce, faster, and more affordable for an entire manufacturing production. ...

How to process C4 (FLIPCHIP)

Mar 29, 2015 | Jason Wu

Application Notes – C4 (FLIPCHIP) Category Description of the category The C4 category is used to describe certain area array devices which have solder bumps (bumps) distributed over the surface of the device. The C4 category is also referred to by the name flipchip. In contrast to the BGA devices, C4 devices do not necessarily have the bumps arranged on a regular grid. The C4 algorithm was originally developed for very fine pitch devices. It has since been extended to find (center) larger components....

How to design Through Hole PCB

Mar 27, 2015 | Jason Wu

Equipment Throughput Calculation • Simplistic Throughput Calculation – Deduct a basic rule of thumb percentage from the maximum machine cycle rate. – The accuracy of this method is highly questionable. • Effective Throughput Calculation – Machine de-rate calculated using statistical data based on actual run data and component counts. Also considers PPM, Product Changeover, Board – Load/Unload Time, and Downtime....
