Digicom to Showcase Methods to Improve Quality in the Electronics Assembly Process
May 19, 2017 | Digicom Electronics, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Digicom Electronics Inc., a technology and quality driven electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company based in Oakland, California, will present methods for improving product quality and integrity during the electronics assembly process at the Design-2-Part Show, being held in the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California, on May 24–25, 2017. Digicom will be in booth 331.
Improvement methods include Digicom’s proprietary Diamond Track Nitrogen and Diamond Track Cleaning services to reduce or eliminate defects in printed circuit boards, especially for mission critical products such as those used in the medical, military and aerospace, industrial, and RF wireless industries.
Digicom’s nitrogen initiative generates nitrogen for use during the solder reflow, selective soldering, and hand soldering processes to strengthen solder bonds and improve solder adhesion. Adding nitrogen minimizes device failures and ensures printed circuit board integrity. Digicom's Diamond Track Cleaning process is the result of years of research and experimentation, and has been proven to deliver significantly better than the IPC's ionic cleanliness guidelines' allowable level of contamination.
"A company's product quality, reliability, and reputation are often shaped by the contract manufacturer that company uses. Digicom's nitrogen generation and integration and cleaning services are two of the methods we employ to mitigate failure and produce success. Learn about others by stopping by our booth at the Design-2-Part Show, visiting our newly expanded facilities in Oakland, California in the San Francisco Bay area, or contact me at +1-510-639-7003, email info@digicom.org,” said Mo Ohady, general manager for Digicom Electronics.
Digicom helps companies with their complete process from design review through prototyping, component sourcing, manufacture, test, and process validation. Digicom is certified for ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2003 medical devices quality, quality system regulation 21 CFR 820, and ITAR certification. AS9100 aerospace certification will be completed in June.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
