Q.I would like to request a quote for board mounting. What information do I need?
+
-
We can provide a rough estimate if you provide us with the parts list, assembly diagram, board dimensions, and number of units to be mounted.
If the surface mount components and insert components are clear, we can provide a quote in a short time.
For detailed quote requests, please use the quote form.

Q.
What documents do I need to actually request implementation?
+
-
A parts list and assembly diagram (silk diagram) are required as basic data.
Furthermore, if you are creating a metal mask, you will need Gerber data, and if you are using a mounter, you will need coordinate data (XY data and mount data).
If you do not have the above data, we can still accommodate your request, so please contact us.

Q.
Is it possible to provide metal masks for mounting?
+
-
Yes, we can. However, this may be difficult depending on the size of the metal mask, so please contact us in advance.
If it is difficult to use the metal mask you provided, we will create a new one to accommodate your request.

PCB Manufacturing
+
-
Q.What documents are required when actually requesting printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing?
+
-
Please provide the Gerber data.
If you do not have Gerber data, we can assist you with artwork design, development, and circuit design.
If you do not have Gerber data, we can assist you with artwork design, development, and circuit design.
Procurement
+
-
Q.Can you sell just the parts?
+
-
Yes, we can. We offer a wide range of support, including emergency procurement of parts and purchasing parts from manufacturers and authorized dealers.
Q.
Do you handle products from manufacturers not listed on your website?
+
-
Yes, we can. If there is a part you are looking for, please feel free to contact us.
Q.
Can you procure EOL products from the market?
+
-
Yes, we can. We will use our wide-ranging, unique network both domestically and internationally to find the right fit for you.
Q.
Is it possible to write data to semiconductor memory (ROM)?
+
-
Yes, we can accommodate your requests, such as writing on individual parts or after product assembly.
Q.
Can you mount loose parts that are not taped or tape cut parts?
+
-
Even if the reel is cut, if there is surplus material in the dispensed state, we can handle it with a mounter.
If the condition of the supplied parts is known in advance, we can handle cut reel parts by splicing and joining them.
Loose parts can be loaded and assembled by hand.

Q.
Can you keep the remaining parts after I request that you mount the board?
+
-
It can be stored in a warehouse with 24-hour temperature and humidity control.
After implementation, we will take an inventory and inform you of the actual number to assist with repeat production.

Board mounting
+
-
Q.Is it possible to implement even just one board?
+
-
Yes, we can accommodate orders for as little as one piece, so please feel free to contact us.
Q.Can you tell me the minimum chip size that can be handled?
+
-
It is possible to mount 0402 size chip components and 0.3mm pitch BGA surface mount.
Q.Can you tell me the size of the printed circuit board that you can handle?
+
-
We can handle board sizes M size (330 x 250 mm) and L size (410 x 360 mm) as well as large LL size (660 x 610 mm).
Q.We are planning to mass produce after prototyping, is this possible?
+
-
Of course we can. We will support you step by step, including prototyping support with an eye towards mass production and sample confirmation of the first prototype.
In addition, as part of our efforts to design for manufacturability (DFM), we conduct design reviews that take into account mountability, yield, and cost, and propose revisions as necessary.

Thorough ESD countermeasures are in place in the manufacturing area, with all staff wearing anti-static gloves and straps. ESD countermeasures are in place throughout the entire process.
Q.Is traceability management supported?
+
-
If you specify that traceability management is required when requesting a quote, we can engrave the circuit board using the laser markers manufactured by our AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) division.
Please refer to the following for the specifications of the laser marker.
We will also issue a QR code for each part and assign a unique number to it.
