Sunburst Electronics gains J-STD-001 designation: Expands services to military and high-reliability electronics markets
Sunburst Electronics recently fulfilled requirements to become a J-STD-001 facility - permitting the company to expand services to the military and other high-reliability electronics markets (aerospace, medical equipment and telecommunications, for instance).
An internationally recognized credential and industry standard, J-STD-001 (Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies) is being referenced on many high-reliability, U.S. Department of Defense contracts and is often required for manufacturing electronic controls with (expected) minimal failure rates and field lifetimes of ten to 25 years.
With a certified J-STD-001 instructor on staff, Sunburst Electronics is now equipped to train and certify employees to the J-STD-001, as well as offer them IPC-issued certifications.
NEWS RELEASE- New Equipment
Sunburst Electronics is pleased to announce the addition of new equipment to support the RoHS lead free inititive. Brief descriptions of our new equipment additions are as follows:
WAVE SOLDERING: The ELECTROVERT EPK PLUS machine has been optimized for the lead free process. Its Capabilities include handling complex and high density PC boards up to 16" wide. The wave has 6 feet of pre-heat to ensure proper board pre-heating and maintaining required solder contact time. For under-board component soldering, the machine has a rotary chip wave which assures solder contact. All profile settings are tailored to the specific assembly and a log file maintains a record of all system errors or deviations from the settings. The external spray guaranties total flux coverage including through-hole.
REFLOW OVEN: The ELECTROVERT OMNI-EXCEL 7 oven is lead-free precess ready with its high efficiency heat transfer, exceptional zone to zone heat separation, and a 350 C processing capability. The oven has 7 heating zones and two cooling zones with 22" wide board processing area. All blowers are closed loop and can be adjusted to maximize the greater demands - smaller precess windows for lead free SMT assemblies.
