BESTProto Announces the Addition of Solder Paste Jetter
October 18, 2019 | BESTProto Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BESTProto Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition and installation of a new Mycronic MY-600 solder paste printer to support its (3) lines.
The new MY-600 will assist BESTProto in assembling complex low volume and prototype electronic assemblies. It reduces the design and lead time associated due to stencil fabrication. The main advantage to BESTProto customers is the consistent solder paste depositions of the jetter-especially when it comes to ultraminiature components as well as when there are components requiring both large areas of solder paste deposition along with micro areas of paste application.
This capability, along with its recently-added 3rd assembly line, will add to the capabilities of BESTProto to absorb more work from both existing and new clientele.
“Our customers continue to challenge our technological capabilities, and this is another investment along those lines to better serve existing and new customers. We have been fortunate to have the confidence as a business to make this new investment.” Garth Cate, business development manager at BESTProto Inc stated.
The equipment started producing prototypes and small volume complex builds in the second half of August 2019.

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.
