WebQuote and Valor Partner in Online PCB eCommerce
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
The value of online quoting and ordering services in the electronics industry is high because of the large volume of prototypes and production orders for PCBs. Today, the complexity of the product and high rate of design changes lead to inefficiencies in the procurement processes, for both buyer and manufacturers unless supported by timely, accurate data. In combining data automation with the Internet, quotes can be created quickly, communications standardized and proposals compared easily. Engineers and buyers can reach informed decisions faster, reducing lead times and increasing pricing accuracy.
ADHESIVES, COATINGS AND ENCAPSULANTSReflow EncapsulantThe key characteristic of the SE-CURE 9101 reflow encapsulant is its dual functionality, it behaves like a flip chip flux and underfill encapsulant in a single component. The reflow encapsulant is an epoxy-based material which can be applied by dispensing and has excellent tack strength to hold components in place during processing. After components are reflowed, a secondary cure operation completely crosslinks the epoxy. Compatible with traditional surface mount reflow profiles, concurrent processing with traditional SMT devices can be accomplished. The resultant process eliminates the need for a post soldering underfill operation, which decreases the overall throughput time and capital equipment cost associated with underfill dispensing equipment.
