Q: Are there any
minimum order values for sub-contract designs?
A: No. Magus undertakes designs for small
start up companies to large multi nationals.
Q: Are there any minimum order sizes for
sub-contract assembly?
A: No, however for Surface Mount PCB's,
there are minimum batch sizes for assembly by the Surface Mount Pick and
Place Machine. This is mainly to do with tape lead-ins and set up times.
For one off prototypes we recommend hand assembly, but we must point out
that the physical appearance will not be up to the standard of boards
sent through a Re-Flow Oven. This is cosmetic only and will not affect
quality. Alternatively, we can produce your board through the SMT Pick
and Place and Re-Flow, although a one off tooling charge for a solder
mask stencil and machine set-up may be required.
Q: Do you work to any Standards?
A: All assemblies are done to meet the
requirement standards, including IS09000 and IPC-A-610 ( Acceptability
of Electronic Assemblies). All of our assemblers are fully trained and
have vast experience.
Q: Can you provide test facilities and
engineering support if required?
A: Yes. Where possible we would prefer to
carry out full functional tests before dispatch. If required our Design
Department can build test equipment to your specification, but there
will be a charge for this based on complexity.
