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.
About BESTProto Iinc.
Headquartered in South Elgin, Illinois BESTProto specializes in EMS services in the prototype and small volume build arena. BESTProto services military, medical, industrial and complex communications markets and ISO 9001 and ITAR registered as well as being NIST compliant.

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
