ASSEMBLY

Surface mount / reflow
Components are sourced based on an approved BOM.
Component mounting base on IPC-J-STD 001 STD
PCB assembly, inspection based on the IPC A-610 Standard
Packaging based on customer requirements

ASSEMBLY CAPABILITY

Surface mount/reflow
Smallest Chip Component Size
Smallest BGA Pitch (mm)
Through-hole mounting
10x Optical Visual Inspection High Definition Camera Visual Inspection

COMPONENT KITTING

Component Sourcing is done through component sources in Asia, Europe, and U.S.
Direct ship to Pythos factory in the Philippines or consolidated shipment to Pythos U.S. Office, then shipped to our factory through a courier.
The average kitting lead time is two (2) weeks; except for long lead time items (RF filters, special-length RF cables, and connectors).

COMPONENTS ARE KITTED AS PER BOM

Component checked as per BOM
Part #, body marks, sizes
Actual value using Smart Tweezer

COMPONENTS MOUNTING

Kitted components are lined up for assembly as per schedule (FIFO)
Update/Progress is tracked thru Web Based PCB Assembly Tracker

BASED ON IPC J-STD 001

1 Tech/board – for easy traceability
For Super dense boards and/or expedited boards, where 24 hrs support is necessary; 2 Techs per board

FOR HYBRID ASSEMBLY

A stencil is ordered as per customer board file
Customer board file is needed to program the chip shooter (IPC file)

PCB ASSEMBLY CAPABILITY

High-Mix-Low-Volume PCB assembly
Fabrication is done through partner PCB Fab houses in Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan or China
Manual mounting and soldering
Precise screen printing for solder paste dispense
Auto mount using Philips chipshooter
IR Reflow Oven up to 300 mm x 300 mm
DI Wash and Drying Oven for Clean and Bake process

CLEAN AND BAKE

After component mounting, assembled PCB is cleaned, air dried and then baked in oven
Board is soaked in IPA, washed with DI water, air dried with OFA and baked in a drying oven

VISUAL AND MECHANICAL INSPECTION (IPC 610)

Inspection of completeness in based on BOM and assembly drawing provided by the customer
Verification is done on 10X diopter and high-def, camera-based manual inspection system.

OPERATIONS CONTROL

PCB ASSEMBLY TRACKER

Web based real-time PCB assembly process monitoring, component consolidation and notification system.
Provides detailed report for PCB Assembly performance and traceability.
