Frequently Asked Questions about the necessary files and preparation before the production of your electronic board.
FAQ on different order options, possible finishes, and component management for your PCBs.
Frequently Asked Questions on our technical capabilities and additional services available for assembling your boards.
Find answers here to common questions on lead times, project tracking, and the support we offer.
We need CAD files (ODB++, Gerber, Eagle, etc.), the drill file, the board outline, the layer stack-up, and silkscreen and solder paste files. Please refer to our complete guide for more details.
The Pick & Place file contains the coordinates of each component for automatic assembly, which is essential to ensure precise placement.
The BOM should include the package, tolerances, voltages, dielectric, as well as the manufacturer and supplier references for each component. Make sure to always synchronize your BOM with the Pick & Place file to avoid errors.
Controlled impedance is essential for certain high-frequency or high-speed circuit traces. If necessary, include these specifications in the layer stack-up to ensure optimal performance.
Please consult with us before ordering to validate panel dimensions, the number of boards per panel, and the separation options between the boards.
Yes, you can. Be sure to add technical borders and fiducials on each side for precise alignment during automated assembly. Consult with us regarding panel dimensions if needed.
Common finishes are lead-free HAL and Ni/Au. We can also provide other options upon request to meet your specific needs.
You have the flexibility to provide all the components, some of them, or entrust the entire order to us based on your BOM (Bill of Materials). If components can be replaced with equivalents, please specify.
Yes, we have most standard resistor and capacitor values in reels in stock at Risetronics.
We strictly respect the confidentiality of all projects and can sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) if necessary.
Yes, we offer rework services to correct or modify your boards, as well as functional tests to validate the proper functioning of your boards after assembly.
Optical inspection (AOI system) is performed systematically and is essential to ensure that no placement or value errors have occurred. We assemble a first board and validate it via AOI before proceeding with the assembly of the rest of the boards.
Our assembly capabilities are suited for various PCB sizes. Ideally, the board should not exceed 480 mm x 265 mm. Contact us for exact specifications or if your PCB is large.
Yes, we can handle pre-series, which are ideal for testing the product before larger production.
We have three automatic placement machines, two stencil printers, and two lines that can operate simultaneously. Vapor phase or convection soldering depending on complexity, an AOI inspection machine, and a rework station.
We work with clients in the following sectors: aerospace, aviation, railway, automotive, industrial automation, IoT, and others.
Our standard assembly lead time is 7-10 working days for a small batch of about ten boards. We can reduce the lead time if your project requires it; contact us to discuss.
Communication is essential to ensure that no questions are left unanswered during the assembly phase. We will contact you if certain points need clarification. You will be kept informed of progress and the delivery date of the boards.
Modifications are always possible during assembly. It is best to contact us as soon as possible to avoid rework (desoldering-resoldering), which will delay the delivery date. The purchase of new components will be charged additionally.
If a component is obsolete, we will consult with you to find an equivalent or reach out to brokers if that is your preference.
You send us an email at info@risetronics.be with the number of boards to be assembled, the PCB specifications, the production files, BOM, PDF placement diagram, etc., and we will send you a complete offer within 3 days.
