Saturn Electronics Corp. Invests in Cobra Bond Line for HDI

ROMULUS, Mich., Aug. 12, 2019 – Furthering both its push for automation and growth in the HDI market, Saturn Electronics Corp installed a newly purchased Hollmuller Cobra Bond line, capable of processing down to 2 mil inner layer core. The thin core transport system eliminates the need to tape thin cores to thicker material that is used to “lead” them through the system to prevent damage and jams. Combining this new line with an automated loader and unloader brings thin core processing down from a two person process to requiring no dedicated operators at all.

To Bake or Not To Bake
SMT Magazine November 2016
I'll always remember the summer of 2004 as the "Summer of Lead-Free." Finally, Pb-free circuit boards were going into standard production mode. Assemblers focused the majority of their efforts (often at my behest) on final finish and proper laminate selection. What none of us saw coming, however, was the rash of delamination that would burn the entire industry during that long, hot lead-free summer. After a good amount of research, Isola came up with a Lead-Free PCB Fabrication and Assembly Guideline outlining critical steps for successful Pb-free assemblies.
