Chinese plant gears up for high volumes
Endicott Interconnect Technologies now offers high-volume low-cost fully assembled PC boards via its new 3700m2 facility in China.
PC board assembly specialist Endicott Interconnect (EI) Technologies now offers high-volume low-cost fully assembled PC boards via EI Shenzhen, its new 3700m2 facility in China "Customers will continue to receive technical support through EI Endicott for new product development and introduction, but once volume production ramps up for many boards, it can occur at EI Shenzhen, which offers both a volume production site and lower cost manufacturing", says Stephen Howland, Product Manager of EI Complex Assembly Operations

PC boards suit mainframe use
EI can provide high-density, double-sided, hybrid PC board assemblies (SMT/PTH/press fit) with an average component count of over 1500
Complex controller board stretches expertise
Board is a core component in the Osmosis research project on next-generation optical switch technology in high-performance computing systems.
PCBs can be assembled in the high volumes necessary to meet customer requirements and EI is committed to adding incremental capacity as needed.
EI Shenzhen can provide high-density hybrid PCB assemblies - double-sided complex boards with mixed technologies and component counts in excess of 1500 - in sizes as large as 457 x 610mm (18 x 24in) for SMT or non-SMT backplanes.
Assembly technologies include SMT, press fit, wave solder, selective PTH solder, and hand assembly and solder.
Components that can be placed onboard include high I/O area array modules (BGA/CGA down to 0.8mm pitch and PBGA), fine pitch leaded parts to 12mil, and SMT discretes and chips down to 0402 size, as well as high-density, high-I/O connectors.
Complete mechanicals - cages, chassis, system assemblies - can be provided.
Products for which EI Shenzhen can provide low-cost, high volume production include motherboards for servers and communication applications, as well as controller boards for various medical and IT applications.
Once product design and development is complete and volume production is ready to begin, order placement, tracking and invoicing is all done at EI Endicott, with documentation and configuration management controlled by EI Endicott.
